I actually think it's the realisation that there are few "users".

In the 90's you didnt have to wait long before you heard the modem answer, and the curiosity of what they were doing. These days, there are many "old" sysops and a few if any visitors. I can see why they loose interest, especially if they dont want to chat via an old text interface that may or may not get a response...
