The way I see it is that there are 4 types of members who stopped using the forum.
1- Bcash team and supporters
There is really nothing that can bring them back for now.
2- BTC price crash, no more lambos , bounties and signatures campaign slowed down , less money to make spamming the forum
They will come back when prices go back up , ICOs start to come, shitcoins start doing 100x a day ,etc,,
3- They can't stand the forum rules
IMO this group is fairly large, I am very active on telegram and sometimes bitcointalk.org gets talked about, many people said they don't like the "strict" rules , it's fairly easy to be banned over a copy-pasta and "lose" an account you build for years, I am not saying this is wrong or right, but if you want those people to come back, lower the bar , but then more spam will come along , so pretty hard to decide on which option is better for the forum.
4-Harassment against unpopular opinion/s
There are many examples related to this, in fact the first point does relate quite well, you see a few Bcash supporters getting tagged, being called scammers and insulted for thinking their version of bitcoin is a better / more realistic bitcoin , while they truly are full of shit they shouldn't be treated that way , the same thing goes to cryptohunter and his team, the majority of the forum are being so "mean" to them, this will make a lot of members leave, we should really treat one another with more respect , the forum is large enough to accommodate all different types of people.
So instead of trying to bring back those who left, maybe we should work on keeping whoever we have now, everyone should do their part by creating quality content that will attract more visitors, and of course respect everyone equally regardless of their opinions.
