Not to point fingers but look at the activity (if you can) in the citizens of catastoph or what ever it is. Even though it is shotty RPing it has seen 10000Xs the amount of active that the RP forum has seen over the course of the last year.
I don't think social groups have killed it. Like I said, some people have difference styles of RPing - if a group of TFFers prefer the use of astrics than a full blown post, then all the more for them.

Might I also add that most of the members who prefer those groups are the younger members - I don't think a long, detailed post is all that fun when compared with something short and simple.
