I notice lots of Realtors in my local area that are no longer active on Active Rain, Why do people give up on blogging? Do they get too busy?

I believe there are two reasons:

1) they are too busy taking care of their business

2) they are not seeing any results from all their hours of thinking, writing and responding to their blogs and give up.

I agree with Diana. It is probably one of the reasons she stated above. Many AR bloggers just become so successful that in order to keep up with their business that they must chose one over the other. The other reason is from those who aren't seeing instantaneous results. However, it takes time, diligence, patience and perseverance in order for leads to start flowing in. I can certainly attest to it.

Maybe they don't see the value. I like blogging and I do see value in it. I will keep doing it. Even when I'm super busy...like now, I find time for it. But I also consider it a creative outlet. I like to write.
