Yup - it's either a move to a different form of information transmission technology, the singularity, or Cthulu eating everyone after they wake him up by shouting too loud.

Actually, I think it's also likely that they die out too quickly. Given the age of the universe, and the speed at which a culture could build itself up to that level and then subsequently destroy itself, there might be all sorts of spots in the timeline where we're alone. Or there is no other life in the universe, which would be telling in and of itself.
