With regards to/.ing, don't forget that other factor that drives would-be posters away from the boards: The post-whore master.
You probably remember him as the guy who seemed to live on slashdot, and was always posting the cool funny posts that you really wanted to post. Eventually, you'd get up the nerve to post before him, but he somehow deletes your post before you even post it!
I know the post-whore master personally drove me out of./ and onto the other forums.
