Hello AlexisYoko
Sorry for the very late answer.
The short answer: It's not dead, but still kinda dead lol.
The longer answer: Our dear Co-founder have left DA some time ago and so have I (kinda). I don't really use DA, only once in a blue moon (like now lol).
But if you know anyone with an interest in anime/manga who would be interested in becoming a Contributor for the group, then please do informe the person that I'm looking for someone to manage the submissions and other group tasks.
(and this applies to everyone who might read this comment lol).
Sincerely
