Get a grip. There’s a non-promoted post with 70 comments since I looked at LW about 12 hours ago. The community isn’t dying. Hell, look at how much lukeprog has posted in the last while. Those have all been good to excellent substantive posts.
I have no idea what the potential audience size for LW is, but it seems to be growing without massive continuing daily support from Eliezer. Also, look at the recent comments feed. Relatively often somnolent discussions are re-opened.

Around 8,000 visits a day is pretty active, even if they aren’t unique visitors. I don’t think we need more leadership than we have.
