determining reasons for user dropout

Hello. I'm curious about methods for finding out why subscribers to a
site stop visiting that site. For example, imagine that I have some
social networking site, and I notice that some subscribers (some of
them new members, some old) simply stop visiting it. They don't cancel
their accounts, they just stop showing up.

How might I discover their reasons for dropping out?

"New article" vs "Create article" vs "Add article"

Hi guys,

Could you please tell what do you think is better to use as link text in
CMS:
- New article
- Create article
- Add Article
?

On one hand, it's good to use verbs/actions - "Create", "Add".
On another - people are used to "New" command in desktop apps (at least on
Windows).

Thank you.
