Why aren't the older members still active ?

perhaps, older people do not suffer fools, gladly.

some people have more patience for tolerating presumptuous opinions without the facts to back them up.

...woo, woo, woo.

Not much "new" left to discover these days..........

I'm surprised to see no mention of TWL. He stood as one of the most interesting and pioneering individuals I met through this site. Is he still camping in Tennessee?

One of the reasons I tire of reading this stuff is the perpetual emphasis in brands. Audio theory, practices and principles tend to lead us away from endless mention of companies which have not grown along with us.

Many long time users have gotten off the highway and cannot any longer communicate successfully with those who still have their noses buried in TAS and Stereopile.

Censorship is very discouraging also. It seems random at best and uneven otherwise.

Good call there MJ on Mr. Lyons, one of my old faves for sure. If memory serves, I believe I may have been the first member to respond to him on the occasion of his first contribution to a thread.

Anyway, speaking for myself, as much as anything I think it's that I got the novelty of conversing and posting online out of my system (in my case thanks almost entirely to Audiogon), and went back to using that time for other things, including listening to more music.
