New blood basically dried up around 2004. I'd say you'd be hard pressed to find more than 10 text battlers that started after 2006. If you look at this board (and I'd bet probably most others), the population is 90% old heads from the golden ages. The old guard can't carry text forever.

that would be interesting to see how many people started in the last few years
