Hi, Greg,
I've noticed the same thing. The forums over at VinylEngine, Audiogon, and AudioKarma are much more active. It's lamentable to think Luminator's suggestion that "(c) the uncalled-for personal attacks and denigration" has driven people away but I believe it to be true. Many of the regulars here at AudioAsylum tend to be far more argumentative (aggressively so) than at other sites.
I don't know if it's entirely due to more restrictive posting rules and/or diligent monitoring (including self-monitoring) at other sites but the Asylum seems to accommodate embarrassingly juvenile behavior that adds nothing to the discussion and probably does drive people away. I do understand that the Asylum's goal is to foster "(d)ebate about audio, even when heated", but I also wonder if it's time to redefine the current Asylum paradigm for what is considered a "heated" discussion.
Regards,
Tom
