What happened to the single cell software community?

Ive noticed that in the past, far before i got into Caustic 3, this website was filled with people, and lots of topics, projects, presets, and so on. what happened to all the legends from the past? like UncleAFX? or snareroll3? or Rej himself?

That was because the project

That was because the project was in development and many people were interested on helping with the development process. I was also involved almost from start to finish.
We tested caustic 3.2 beta for almost a year. In same time developers secretly worked on a mastering engine. And we had bunch of problems, bugs, crashes and strange hybrid production. Eventually with help of developers from Japan and USA Rey - Dev was able to finish the project. After almost a year of uncertainty, we were in doubt that mastering app or caustic 3.2 are probably canceled. All these beta testers were using that last beta for 3 months I think. We were waiting for new app longer then we expected. When the app finally released we were hyped crazy and app was better then expected and even more users were coming to the site. The problem started when Jason announced shutting of the EIPSO site. Then Mike announced series of new apps he is having in development along with the new sample packs. This was drastic change of pace. We were not happy. Other sites started to troll this one. I remember that. I was not able to enter the site for weeks. Many users abandoned the site after that. More users eventually quit because development of caustic core applications has stopped. Rey announced that officially in 2018 I think.Since then being on a site doesn't make sense and many users left the site. We can not talk to developers and we are in need to do so. Why we were bothering with beta testing, trying to help the best that we can from every point of view, if we are treated like dangerous hackers and cannot enter the site for weeks I will never figure out.
According to some people this is exactly what happened. We were hacked. Mike was here all time he can explain better then I can how everything started going to hell.
My English is not great, sorry for that.

It seems many still lurk here

It seems many still lurk here now and then, and there is still a decent number of people making music on Caustic still.  I hear rumors sometimes of possible developement, but not enough to stir up this site.  Mostly people aren't here anymore because life has moved on.  If you have Discord, check out the group there too.

Just tell you the best way

Just tell you the best way that I can what heppend few years back in this community. It is all true. Mike can explain the most of it. I was actually trying to help the site back then, help other users and developers the way I can as the producer and dj. I hope others will not take this that seriously like you Mercenary...enjoy creating music...
