nah, graphics really even at it's peak was never big factor of drawing people to the site only was good for the current members who wanted sigs. It was still active like year or two after that. with KORV 3 and then the LBL. Kempo brought most of the top names on the site to come join RV for that. The time the site really "died" was when people stopped battling (aka leagues died down and tourneys) and also it was when most of the bigger audio heads stopped coming and not caring bout rules, etc
