Mild interactives are alive and well, as far as I know - mostly as a new crop of people begin to pick up the mantle. The massive super threads of the fully interactive AARs have died down a bit. I think the main GMs have gotten a bit tired out. I also think they're something that tend to come in phases. One will really light a fire in AARland and there will be others that pop up to meet the rise in demand, but that demand slips away in time. Comedies and comic AARs seem to follow that same cycle, if at different paces.
