There's a few kayak fishing forums that have bitten the dust too with The Yak Shed and AKFF looking really slow and only VYak and Kayak Fishing Downunder getting daily posts.
The Shed is still fairly active - you have to look at the season and you will see that a lot of kayaking activities slow as most of our northern yakkers fish only off shore picking weather can be a problem
AKFF died in one go when it was sold off to a commercial group in Canada - between ads and pop ups that started then pissed people off including the Mods that had no say in the sell off ( the mods started the shed at that time )
as for Vyak we are blessed with a great local kayak fishing community which is very active all year round ( and some real die hards at times )

Mrfisho was once on the way up, now seems less interest n dieing a slow death.
No sure if it was the mrfisho club with its own fish comps that cost around 100$ p -year to join that started it....
Now the owner is just trying flog off new tuna lures.....?
5 or 6 years ago Mrfisho was the site to be on - a lot of good content but I think it lost its way , back then there was a bit of everything going on
plenty of get togethers - surf W/Es and a few frendly comps
the club mentioned above was one thing and the shift to a game based thinking - away from the old days where the content was more like here
I think what keeps a good fishing forum alive is to cover every thing - it's nice to read Tuna and Marlin fishing reports ( the more elite / extreme end of town ) but if that is at the expense of the land based guys or the basic bay boating fisho expect the forum to fall over or at least go pretty quiet
Fishing Vic has a pretty good balance - something for all groups no matter what there fishing interests are -
