A combination of factors: DT drove many away, many of the most prominent on-topic posters left, many didn't make the migration from IMDb, the two biggest shit-stirrers (Ada, Blade) were banned, since IMDb died there hasn't been any real "new blood" to enliven things, the regs either recycle the same discussions ad nauseam or lose interest then either leave or don't post as much (the latter describes myself).
The poetry, OT and silly threads, a-holes... don't matter when you have an active forum with lots of relevant discussion. That stuff only becomes really annoying when it's the dominant norm rather than the minority exception. I expect those that stay do it because there's still that communal feeling Marv mentioned.

Of the reasons you listed I would say "The internet was just a passing phase." Things have slowed all over the internet. This place is particularly active by some measures. We've seen all the (classic) television and movies there are to see. We've played all the video games. It isn't new anymore. The child awakes. The Eyes of a Child Pts. I & II

Who or what is DT? A former poster (actually more than one, as it ended up being a shared account), but an oversimplification - DT was one account (ayelewis was another) among many (some of them were on the "Manly Movies" forum for a while) that were pretty much just lulz spammers. They weren't there to really discuss any topic on any forum, they'd just roll through and squat on forums for a while, spamming crap non-stop. The "some people just like to watch the forum burn" types. That didn't destroy the forum in and of itself, though. After a couple of weeks of the whole first page being nonsensical lulz spam, it just made some of the more discussion-minded types find homes elsewhere.

I can sort of remember ayelewis, but, DT doesn't ring a bell.

Wasn't there also some doxxing involved with the DT guys?
