I have been here close to three years now (I think). I have seen many of the talented artists that were here when I got here leave. I have seen new artists come on board, learn some craft, and grow to produce work that is absolutely stunning. I have seen some of THOSE people leave. And still, I am seeing talented newcomers showing up all the time. Dying? I don't think so. Changing? Sure -- as any community must, or consign itself to entropy.
