I doubt very much if they burn themselves out Matt, more likely they have been upset by someone or something. How many times have you read a post where someone feels no-one responds to posts or it is cliquey? Silly arguments and bickering are one of the main causes I would have thought and reading things into remarks which weren't there in the first place another. It is very difficult to communicate when you can't see someones face I think.
However I am surprised to hear that so few people post!

I'd better get typing!
