It's no secret that we're loosing contributors. Ever since we implemented stricter rules (most of which the community themselves decided on). But that's my theory.

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 bringing 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?
