A lot of gambling forums seem to be a bit 'dead' at the moment, and in fact I would say this one is more active than most.
This could just be a 'seasonal' thing, but I think it's more likely to do with the current diabolical economic climate, especially here in the UK.
REAL inflation is running way above both the governments made-up figures and peoples pay rises (for those lucky enough to get one!). So people simply don't have as much 'disposable income' as they used to.
Poker certainly seems to have significantly dropped off from what I've seen, but that could be down to players just getting plain fed up with losing. I reckon only 1-2% of online poker players are good enough to win consistently and that the rest of us are just helping to fund their retirement!
Fruity play has changed quite a bit in the last several years too - certainly since £35 JP machines came in. Your average bod either doesn't have the bankroll or the balls to stuff a machine until it pops.
Also, as someone said above, with the ridiculous pay back % of rigged slots maybe more people are turning to the high return & generous match bonuses of online random casino slots like me.
I've won loads online recently - mainly it must be said, down to Ladbrokes extremely generous slots promos!
