The death of SF/F has been an on again/off again thing since the 80's. Basically, there is a lot of churn. Add in the fact that sub-genres come and go and there is a cyclical nature to the various genres (people move from SF to adventure to mystery and eventually back around) and it's pretty easy to assume that SF is dying when you see a 2 year drop. Especially if you have a specific sub-genre you like and people stop writing in it.
I've seen Fantasy go from Roger Zelazny to Tolkien knock offs to middle ages fantasy to SF/F mixes to vampire and werewolf romances.
