My theory is that most people come to TOV for relevant information on what is going on in the Villages and may be growing tired of consistently seeing threads that are about nothing.

I think the site might be slow for several reasons. There have definitely been some contentious threads as of late. Confrontation tends to turn people off. It's also the holidays. People are busy with family and/or out of town. Repetition of topics. SSDD.. And of course some people may be turned off by NOTHING.
But as far as people coming here for relevant information, yes and no. In my opinion some people come here as a form of daily communication and entertainment. This is where they socialize. They like to keep in contact with others even if it isn't relevant.
Some are here to be helpful. I haven't seen many questions of relevance go unanswered. If someone knows the answer they will reply. At times even if no one knows the answer they will reply with a guess. Some threads get so hijacked away from their intended topic that they become irrelevant. All of these things can contribute to the perceived decrease in forum participation.
There is no one right answer.
