Why do some people leave religiousforums?

- Start date
A lot of people leave because it gets in the way of changes in their life. It's also been very slow compared to what it used to be in the 2010's

What do you mean with slow? i am just curious
There’s a lot less variety of religions nowadays, and there’s less activity in the DIRs now that only the people pertaining to those religious beliefs can contribute to the DIRs.What do you mean with slow? i am just curious
People also tend to leave I think because they find what they are looking for while here. Some answer or insight.

I hope the DIRs will be open to everyone soon, like it was before. There is very little activity there now, yes
I prefer that the DIR forums are not open to everyone. As a member of the Dharmic Religions DIR, I want to interact with other Hindus, for example, without non-Dharmic people asking random questions, trying to debate with us, or even posting things to insult our religions. I like having a space for Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, and Jains. People who don’t adhere to those religions can ask questions and debate elsewhere.

Well, someone who came here stated: "I came for religion and stayed for the comedy." This place if frequented a lot by agnostics and atheists, and there is a lot of cantankerousness based on the grounds of "logic" versus "superstition". You have to have a certain amount of fortitude to endure the climate of discussion, and as a theist you sometimes feel like an exotic. I have written that this forum has not brought out the best at least in me, despite its claim to promote "friendly" and "civil" discussion.
It may be because some posters here refuse to bathe.

What is bathe? I have never heard that word before. English is not my mother-language

Just forget it. I googled the word. Hehe.
Bathe = to take a bath
It was a joke. One nice thing about online forums is that if anyone really did refuse to bathe, we wouldn't have to smell them.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
There's more to life than perusing internet forums. ;0]
Personally I think topic redundancy might play a role, some people are intimidated by attitudes and strong responses, others rage quit perhaps, or they just want a change of scene and just like to start over with a brand new avatar and voice.
I've never thought about leaving so I don't know.
But it do know one guy took a moderation badly and hasn't been back.

I find I have rather less to contribute than in the past. But I still look in from time to time.
I probably haven't been here long enough to notice why so many depart, but from what I have noticed, many seem to be on a mission to convert or proselytise their particular beliefs (so naughty too), and as noted, there is a sufficiently large enough contingent here who are atheist or agnostic, so perhaps when they see not much chance of success they tend to move on. Apart from the naughty ones who get banned or perceive bad treatment, sulk, and then depart.
I decided to leave yesterday because my body needed some sleep.
Glad to see you are back
I'm one of those. I haven't bathed in at least 40 years.
Some are too ticklish and can't stand the tickling.
