I decided to go back and check, and based on how things were a year ago, it typically took around a week for a mini normal to fill -- there were a couple outliers, but for the most part, that was typical for this part of summer 2017. that's shorter than this particular one has taken, sure, but I think the "the site is dying, no one wants to join games anymore" crowd might be a little more apocalyptic about the whole thing than is 100% necessary.

there's a ton of factors for how quickly any particular queue moves; overall site health might be one of them, but personally, I think the biggest one is the need to upgrade to forum software that creates a better play experience for those who primarily access the site from mobile devices, and while progress on that has been slow, it's a problem that will hopefully be solved soon.
