I make no claim to be a great PvPer, I just love to solo as much as I love to run with gangs. Solo PvP is alive and well. A few haters love to say it is dead because they suck at it and/or are afraid to try. 
Actually several friends in my corp who specialised in solo PvP left Eve for WoT over a year ago stating that it is no longer worth their while to solo...
Stating that a player suck at it is no reason or cop-out. The uptake is low and rather the exception than the rule. Its not like Null Sec is flooded with guys doing solo stuff.
I observed the pattern recently when we were new to the region. Initially there are lots of left over guys trying to harass the population once jump bridges go in the numbers slowly dwindle to a few die hard characters.
Over time only the AFK morons remain.
Truely - I wish I was wrong but it is dead but for a few exceptions. Grammatical error and spelling mistakes are included for your entertainment!

Hardly I can still maneuver at full speed, see more space than ships, and dont have WH people complain about me causing random TD in their hole. |

2v1 isn't solo PVP and you still lost at that |

your killboard isn't looking that good yourself, since the only thing that you can solo is a thrasher capsule and helios  |

Attacking small gangs solo, which really is a lot of fun, got a lot harder with Retribution and the really cheap, really easy to skill for, yet super effective T1 logi cruisers.
Percentage of Pre-retribution small gangs with at least 1 logi: 10%. Percentage of Post-retribution small gangs with at least 1 logi: 75% and climbing. *
Having a couple of logis in a gang makes soloing them pretty much impossible. I don't mind attacking a gang and losing a ship, providing I have at least some chance of getting a kill. Trouble is just 1 T1 logi cruiser is going to be very close to repping the DPS from a solo player. A pair of T1 logis and you can only hope for 100% complete incompetency from their logi pilots, otherwise no chance of getting a kill.
Bad gangs are also getting wise to being split up as they rely on their logis - they know they'll likely lose their 20mil ship without their logis countering their inability to fly, so they often refuse to chase now unless the logis can jump/keep up. Risk aversion in EvE is slowly killing solo & the Retribution expansion made it a lot easier and cheaper for gangs to be risk averse. I've even seen a 7 ship gang that had 4 logis camping a gate. Made me sad. On a brighter note, I've had slightly fewer falcons decloak on me since Retribution. But ECM could sometimes be countered when flying solo. I've yet to find a way of countering multiple logis that refuse to be split up.
* Maybe not completely accurate but my best guess going by my last 10 or so roams. |

Solo pvp is obsolete because of boosting alts. Solo pilots (not in a fleet) should receive stat bonuses. I like the diminishing return comment on another thread regarding people in fleets. The larger the fleet the smaller % of boosting being applied. |
