Actually, an Ouroboros is not necessarily a bad thing. When it eats itself it doesn't mean that it's zoning itself out into nonexistence; instead it is immortalizing itself.
You see the infinity symbol above The Magician's head? That stands for forever. However, what most people don't understand that just because something is "eternal" doesn't necessarily mean it's in an upward flux constantly. There are down points and there are up points. Much like when waves come to the beach and then leave; when we breath in and out; when the market goes up and then goes down. Life is about ups and downs and periods of work and rest. Daily life, for example, is that we're up during the day and we sleep at night(or whenever our work/school schedule allows). Going to sleep is our down time. Being active is our up time. Evil gains power, Good becomes weaker; Evil becomes weaker, Good becomes stronger. It's even evident in our yearly cycles. Depending on what hemisphere we're in(and I'll be using an example of the Northern said), we have winter and we have summer. Sure, there's a transition between them but they're when the sun is strongest and when it is weakest. The sun gathers strength up until Litha(Summer Solstice) and then wanes through the rest of the year until it's at its lowest point at Yule(Winter Solstice). We have all of these examples of Eternal Life in our mundane surroundings that we forget their wisdom.
Just because there isn't a big influx of writers on the forum right now doesn't mean we won't peak later on. There will be periods when activity is low. It's not dead until the Admins say so.
