@Mari-LouA yes the site is not "thriving". Part of this is because a large volume of questions get closed. When people come and put serious effort into writing a question, and it gets closed immediately, then they're unlikely to come back. With so few people coming back, and many people leaving because of their questions getting closed, there's only 5 people left, which are the people doing the closing (the only ones who don't have a problem, because they're the like-minded people doing it).
