Well, capital reason #1: After site "reworking" and consequent selling, community and owners are dis-joined at best. We, here, knows what we need and what need be fixing, but they, there, don't want to implement changes, and don't know what to do to fix.
It slowed the site progress initially, then people started to find new activities, and no one replaced them. So... slow death, I believe.
