Interesting...
I think no matter what we do in any forum, people are going to come and go. The ones that want to be here will be here. The rest may find their place in another board or just leave Lit altogether.
I'd rather the posters here stay themselves than see the forum overrun with personal ads and picture threads (which is ok, but how many different submission pic threads do we need?). It seems like the forum died even more after pointing out that some of us make people elsewhere uncomfortable. Those people aren't participating here so I'm not going to bend over backwards to please them.
As was mentioned in that thread, people who post regularly and sincerely seem to be the ones that become regulars. I'm all for more people joining in, but lately it's just people asking an "I'm new tell me how to get started" thread and then we never hear from them again. Doesn't matter how nice we are to them.
Alright, I'm done ranting...

I've noticed a few people posting a bit more often here in recent weeks, though it's not like the place is overrun with newcomers. Ultimately, you're right that it's the folks who post sincerely, authentically, and regularly who form the community. Others who de-lurk will do so from time to time as they see opportunities to say something they feel is important - or funny, or whatever.
