Eh, it's a problem with the platform. In 2006, smartphones weren't *really* a thing - so peoples' medium to the internet, especially the younger generation that CN has always appealed to (hell, I was 16 then) was laptops and browsers. In 2016, your internet browser is the *last* method you use to get online.
The thing that would save this game, more than anything, is a bloody mobile app made for it. It's been proposed and rejected by admin a thousand times now - so wither away and die on a long-dead platform we must.
