Another interpretation is that there is less need for a developers forum because of the increased number of ways in which people can answer their own questions by interrogating a growing body of web resources.
The fact that there has been a tenfold increase in one year in the number of pages indexed by Google that match the keywords "SVG" and "JavaScript" (500,000 to 6 million) might support this concept that the investment of the efforts of "early adopters" on lists like this in 2002-2003 is actually translating into dividends as measured by real content being available (at least on the information nets indexed by Google). By such a metric one could view the activity on developers lists of an emerging technology as predictive of mainstream activity some years down the road. I suspect there is a lot of new development going on the Sparql, RDF and even XBL discussions (for example, wherever those might take place), the impact of which is yet to quite take off in terms of actual practices of Ma and Pa web sites. I suspect the amount of activity on HTML-developers lists has probably about disappeared by now, though it isn't clear that HTML has.
