What may have caused less forum/group activity, and what can encourage it?

Some posters I've been chatting with have mentioned that they feel B.next has a bit of an unnecessary [i]learning curve[/i]. What they mean by that is that the UI of Bungie.next takes much more effort to navigate than the original layout did, which can make it difficult to follow conversation and awkward to read. Posting on B.net old was convenient because the layout was straight-forward. You'd sign in, select a forum or group, create a thread, and then you were done. Replying, quoting, saving, pinning, and moderating were in places that made sense. BB Code was likely the extent of trouble a user may have encountered in the past, and it's nice to see that was changed in B.next. But there are a lot of other changes that have been made as well: looser rules, tag usage, navigation changes, liking posts, sorting threads, replying to posts, image linking, hiding posts, muting users, following groups/users, smaller group limits, etc. While the majority of these changes alone may enhance productivity/accessibility in some way, together some of them instead complicate the forum experience and make it more difficult to follow conversation. With the previous features that have yet to return (Top Forum Topics/Pinned Threads, Group Articles, Saved Threads, and Titles), many of B.net's distinguishing traits may seem missing. Looser moderation could even be a turn off for some. I understand how those may have driven some members away, but are those the only reasons? Could it simply be because Bungie has no game around at the moment? What do you think is the main reason members feel less inclined to post? Can those who are displeased chime in with more input and suggestions?
