The only member that we lost recently is o_e_l_e_o, or who else?

Leo is the saddest of the departures, and most recent. But, more people have either left, went very inactive or even betrayed the community.

Some people still see this forum educative and interesting.

Perhaps it's personal, then. I frequently find myself uninterested in most topics for the last few months.

TIME!!
It's a major determinant for everything under the sun.

That's hopeful. I hope it's true!

And even if mixers stayed on bitcointalkthey wouldn't stop the decline, maybe only slowed it down.

I strongly agree with this one. Mixers were only a temporary solution, at a time when decentralized, self-custodial solutions were non-existent.

My feeling is that genuine development and debate over real projects is lacking these days.

Me too. And the problem is that there's a lot of work that needs to be done. Scalability is not resolved. The notion that Bitcoin does not need further improvements is an attack vector.

It seems that most of the topics from the technical side have already been discussed enough times

Sure, I can agree to an extent, even though speculation topics are discussed at orders of magnitude more frequently than technical, but I wasn't talking about the technical board. I'm pretty sure we can have constructive and interesting discussions elsewhere, more often. See, for example, what's posted in stacker news.
