Another factor may be us being stricter in behaviour, as we've blocked a lot of contributors who violated the personal attack policy. I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about that one. Although I have spoken to User:LurkSAR, and the rest of the admin team about possibly unblocking contributors unfairly blocked during the "2014 Purge" set up by Joesph Kennedy.

While that may help to bring the community back, we still don't know exactly why contributors have left, and we feel that even though we ourselves are contributors, we can't see what it's like for new contributors and "standard" contributors - So what's your theory on the issue? From my knowledge I've actually seen users here leave to go to the place which I am not to speak of, because the people from the place which I am not to speak of have told lies and spreaded rumors about this wiki. That's what I know, however I feel now I am the subject between two worlds.
