There's always the whiners or complainers about various "this and that"s, though overall it's different people finding different things they don't like. I wouldn't say it's a recent problem that's causing downgrade within the site, because it's always been around anyways.
The site could be up at 2010 and beyond but it'd still have whiners or complainers. Usually something that's been as traffic stable and popular as this will die out only when there's a mass technical or backing difficulty, or exodus of staff support.
Alternatively, the boards may only last as long as Phantasy Star games continue to be released and supported by ST. It's just as possible, though, that the community would take multiple years to disperse even with a discontinued franchise.
