All of these types of complaints lead me to think that the forum itself is never the problem, more that those who are using it are changing as people, moving in and out of the forum and of phases in their lives.

That usually is the case and I can see where you are coming from but for this many mods to say goodbye leads me to conclude that it is not what it used to be. MB is one of the very best non profit music forums out there (and I have checked site hits, popularity, site worth monetary) so for many of it's contributing members to leave must mean something and I have seen very few people to replace them personally.
