the new generation don't use arrangers , only adults and old people still use it , but there is not enough places to perform , so the market of proffesional arrangers players become little , so the companies stop to produce flagship arrangers , therfore all those talking and arguments are not relevant , and synth zone arranger cecome less atractive.
SZ was much more active not that long ago. Unfortunately during the past few years USA political differences have become downright nasty, and some of that vitriol infiltrated the SynthZone forums. Many active members decided to leave this long time service because of political discussions in the "The Bar" forum. This is why SZ has slowed down a bit, although age and arranger keyboards is indeed, also a factor.
Perhaps those "regulars" will decide to come back, they'll remember their "roots" and what the SZ has provided us these past 30 + years. I'm certain we can get back to a more normal forum without politics. Besides that, I miss those 'ol guys.

May SZ Live On
