I joined and lurked for like 3 months before i posted an introduction. I may or may not continue doing this, and it seems that may also a factor in the drop off. I have the psychological aspects that i'm still working on, not to mention confession to the wife if i do decide to progress further. This can be a fun situation or a very scary one depending on the person and i think some people just use the forums for research.
One particular attraction that brought me on was being able to actually see results that weren't just claims by sellers on dubious websites, or reviews that seemed false or misleading on amazon,ebay,etc..
I have no reason to stay or go at this point but reading and getting different viewpoints seems to be helping me come to an overall decision as to what i want to do, so i don't see the "in and out" nature of membership here as a problem any more so than say a forum on any other topic that discusses a product.
