S2 is pretty dead if you ask me. Just check out the cruise servers, full of +20 peeps online with their cars parked for like a week(Except TC, wich I'm lifetime banned from there).
The few drift servers only have 6 cars drifting around, and every 30 minutes it goes empty.
Without mentioning the 'race' servers that stuffs a XFG/XRG/UFR up your *ss until you sucess 40 races or so.
You may like it or not, but it's just my point of view wich I accumulated since years and years of activity on this great sim. LFS doesnt has the same popularity as 2007-2009 era.
PS. I learned to drive IRL thanks to LFS and rFactor, they have all my respect!
