I can explain the guidelines to them and encourage other posters to encourage them to stay. But what I can do is limited, I can't force people to stay, or others to encourage them to stay.
There's less activity here than before, but I don't feel it's stagnant. People still support and educate each other, and I think social media, a point system, some kind of Elders Council, and social network analysis are all exciting new directions to consider, and I'm sure there are others.
