"My gut feeling is no one is posting in the regular 'free' threads." Well, seems to me that most are still posting here in no-charge land. I paid to participate on a known backpacking forum for a number of years and stopped paying because it seemed that even folks who would pay good money were just as prone to acting up on forums. Why pay if they can't behave. (BTW, haven't checked out the "paid" forum.)
Elizabeth, you've posted lots of help and your findings over the years and I hope you'll just continue to do the same. Though interests ebb and flow, don't let that get you down. As many have shared, it is just part of the hobby. Listen, enjoy, and contribute when you'd like. Cheers
