There usually comes a time when you get tired of reading/participating in the same old quarrels/discussions. We all have our own opinions on what HiFi is, how much to spend, what is a ripoff/snakeoil etc etc etc... So members interest tend to decrease eventually... Some come back, others join new sites, some find new hobbies... I suspect the frustrating site change just helped push some persons out a little earlier (but they were probably fairly bored with HiFi discussions before the site change).
More or less this for me. Very, very few threads that I find sufficiently interesting to go through the trauma of posting using the new site. Still actively contribute to the film club thread, although less than I would if the site wasn't so crap.
