> jim, I think there are reasons for the decline separate from Dr Bob. The site design is pretty old fashioned at this point. I personally like the text-only thing, but the thread navigation could use an update. I suspect lots of people who used to post on single-topic forums like this have moved onto more modern looking forums, to social media, and perhaps reddit. just speculating here.

Tabitha,
Site design is something I fail to consider as well as competition from other sites, forums, media et al. I'm old-fashioned and I feel old trying to keep up with the explosion of these alternatives. Especially in the last decade, Jim. Hello?At least, I have every alternative theory:
1) Bob was too present, heavy handed; drove people away.
2) Bob checked out, was too distant, gone? therefore people left.
3) Bob or no Bob, times change people left anyhow.We may reasonably expect all three will be seen to have applied to varying extents at different moments.
Always appreciate your input, Tabitha.
