I believe the biggest factor in the decline in Virtual Systems activity is that under the new format posts by others to system threads in which one has previously posted, including one’s own system thread, no longer appear in one’s forum activity feed. I and others have suggested in the past that that should be changed.
There is a "subscribe" link near the upper right corner of system thread pages, but many people presumably haven’t noticed it or don’t choose to use it. And that link doesn’t seem to be present on one’s own system thread. So apparently the only way to become aware of posts by others to one’s own system thread is to look at it, and many people only seem to do that when they want to incorporate a change.
