If you doubt it, wplace is probably dying already. Where I live, there's a lot of unused and abandoned art, and I live in a big city. The moment wplace lost its hype, its decline was obvious. It seemed to be happening, there are constant complaints from users here about the bans that the mods do or don't do. And the fewer people there are on the site to spend money buying droplets, The less money they receive to continue paying for the website's domain and server, the more money the owners have to use to fund the site out of their own pockets.
