    The hunting party was a number 1 album in some places, yet there isn't too much activity on here or over at the other forums. Why?! Is it cause they stopped making radio friendly shit or what?

    Because nothing particularly interesting is currently happening with the band. The people you see here regularly are 90% of the time here for the community, not the band.

    Because we're in a period between album cycles when nothing interesting is happening, like Filip said.

    I lost interest when Mike Shinoda sacrificed himself to the #illuminati

    Because there is not an album cycle going on. Once their new album drops, the forums will be flooded with newbies again.

    rip

    Too true. You'll see LP's "popularity" when there's a new single fresh out. DTB doesn't count.

    Yes, yes we are. Time for all of us to go our separate ways under a new name and a new life. I'm sorry it had to end like this.

    Well, Linkin Park have lost plenty of fans over the years as far as I can see. They haven't really gained as many newer fans too. But yeah, there's barely any news right now so as far as fans who come only for the news and LP discussion go, this is not a great time. I joined slightly before THP was released and they were plenty of people back then. Most of the threads started then are dead now. (I DIDN'T JOIN BECAUSE OF THP THOUGH, DON'T YOU DARE THINK THAT)

    And besides, all of the LP discussion is pretty minimal too, even the session thread is on a hiatus (Valid reasons) and the THP section of the forum has gone away too. So yeah, hold out for the next album cycle, queef.

    /obvious stuff.

    We are currently in a dead period in terms of news and updates with the band, and in between THP and album number 7 at the moment. There's no new collabs (other than DTB) and no new movies that the band are doing singles/new music for, just touring and chats. When the time comes for the band to start hyping up LP7, it'll be back to being busy and crazy.

    This is the reason:
    Tocaraca is busy with his life,and SuperXero was moved by Steve Haines and Dave Norton to the other part of the world under the name of Xero De Santa. He's not allowed to communicate here in due time.
    So there's that.

    Cause they are not making any more music about how nothing matters in the end.
    And how much life sucks, and being an angry adult instead of an angry teen now.

    All the points above. Also, Linkin Park aren't really that "in the news". Was talking about them the other week and a couple people even said "they're still making music?"
