Yeah, it is on its last legs I think.

Text is a dying trend in my opinion. Or, more accurately one that is in a way being passed over. You've got so many new kids stretching their legs in the text area of battling and bringing a lot of new styles. Whilst, all the old school heads are slowly slipping away and getting beyond the whole 'text battling' and moving on to other things. There are still a few left still flexing in the leagues, but not a lot.
