Maybe, or maybe they enjoy the thinking up a theme, setting up the software, customizing it, and once they are finished it just gets boring. I am like that, I've been here a while now, and I'm always starting new bbses and shutting down old ones. I like seeing what different BBS packages are up to, tinkering with my own, coming up with themes etc.

I kind of think of it a bit like distro/os hopping - installing a new distro, tinkering, setting things up.. once it runs smoothly it gets boring, or there is an itch to try another thing.
