What has happened to PP

I haven’t been in PP for a while, but was amazed at how little forum questions are asked, used to be one every few minutes and so few jobs, this site used to be buzzing with activities which raises a few questions:

1. Where are all the eastern participants gone, asking all the questions, have they found another site to block?
2. Where are all the jobs? Is it an indication of world crisis or simply a PP popularity crisis?
