Low traffic and bad connectivity are two reasons that come to mind. There's not really enough going on here to hold the attention of the non-diehards and the fact that the site is not accessible to fairly hefty chunks of the net doesn't help matters.
Losing members isn't too much of a problem, however. All boards lose members over time. The big problem for 3DG is that we're not attracting new members at all, let alone at a rate high enough to match our losses. More aggressive promotion could help here, as could dusting the cobwebs off the homepage.
Unfortunately, however, there might not be room on the net for 3DG. Between CGTalk, Renderosity, Highend3D, LW3DG, Sci-fi Meshes, the various photography and digital painting forums and vendor-run product forums there are so many places on the net to talk about graphic arts that 3DG would need major investments in time and funds to differentiate and promote itself to the extent of winning back more than a token userbase.
