I did check for a plugin that would allow me to set a user account to a memorial account but there doesn't seem to be one available. Keep in mind that the forum is powered by a commercial software package. I didn't write it and I'm limited to the features that are available in the software or add-ons. I'll keep looking since I agree that it would be a nice feature.

You would think that even if someone who was a big contributor moved away, the forum would still hold some interest for them.

I think many of those big contributors are still lurking. I still hear from some some of them. Of course things have changed on the internet since I started the forum in the 90's. Facebook has changed things and there are many other sources of information out there.
We may have lost some active members but the traffic is at an all-time high this year. In August we had the biggest month ever with over 100,000 unique visitors. There is a wealth of knowledge and information archived here and people are now finding it through searches instead of registering and asking a question.
