This site was destined to die off a long time ago when the open media section was taken off. It's a site built on the theme of kpop, where people visit to satisfy their interest in the topic. In a theme based site like this, the community, or the forums start and grow primarily as a by-product. When the primary attracting element goes(in jsl's case, the media download section), the prospective visiters go. They move onto more accommodating sites, where they can easily satisfy their need for music.
The forums are just a dying vestige of what was. It's something between a kpop site and a discussions forum primarily consisting of those who were part of the forums before it became a kpop site, those who joined early in the game, mods, those who know jusun personally, and the rare bunch that found an appealing element in it and decided to stay.
My theory : Bring back open media = attracts kpop enthusiasts = new wave of potential forums members = well-needed forums stimulus = active forums.
or
scratch it all and make it an all out discussion forum.
