Hi guys. I am one of these guys mentioned in the OP that was active on here a few years ago (around 6 years ago at a guess). I still see many names I recognise on here. Personally, just other things got in the way of chipping. Other hobbies and travel, work etc. I still check in from time to time, but have not bought anything for quite a while, just how it happens sometimes I suppose.

This is one of the first boards I used to check multiple times a day and I loved it. Now though, only checking in sporadically, I must admit it is hard to keep track of things. Without meaning to sound too critical, and I know I will offend some here, but the actual software makes it kind of hard for both newbies and those less frequent visitors amongst us. One of the updated boards that could have FAQs, Stickies, and separate sections might help to get people checking in more often and/or contribute, rather than just a quick browse down the page.

Also, the CC>CC club, while I am sure is great amongst the members, can sometimes act to make the rest of us feel a little excluded. I know I could just suck it up and join, but at the time I was active I felt like I should put the money in to chips I wanted, and now I am not active enough to justify any sort of outlay.

Again, hope I didn't ruffle too many feathers, this is just the opinion of one once active chipper who still frequents from time to time.
