I think the reasons people leave are probably widely varied and unique to each of them. However, I do know that some have left and I have sometimes felt a desire to leave, due to lack of content, and because sometimes it feels like there is a disconnect between those who are here to be anonymous and/or escape "real life" and those who are here in search of finding something missing or something more than they have in their real life. For those seeking more, it can be very difficult to find others who truly feel the same way...and weeding through some of the nonsense can get frustrating. Sometimes people take advantage of their protection behind the screen and can be very hurtful too. I have seen that drive people away.
