I have watched a couple of forums just die off.
It's generally because they just run out of subject matter and there are not enough new members coming in.Also a few fuckwits entrench themselves believing that just because no body argues with them they are in the right.
This,coupled with a "hidden forum" by invitation only where some of the former frequent posters or long term members hang out just means they don't engage on the forum anymore.
At the end of the day,if I walked into a pub and decided I didn't like it.I would turn around and leave. I wouldn't write all the reasons I thought it was shit all over the walls ,then expect it to change.Likewise if I was a Publican who felt the mood was changing I would take steps to move it the way I wanted it.
