I was a long time lurker and also posted there at times, roughly between 2007 and 2012. But it's hard to get noticed there with all the regulars in-grouping so heavily. While I don't think it is as bad as ppl make it sound (and boy are there deranged PZ haters), and I disagree with the assessment that it is cult of personality, I really ran out of interest because the commentariat has become very limited in their horizon (they compulsively have to sneer at anything standard skeptics find cool it seems, and everything from genetics to comets became about the partriarchy and rape culture, and any topic which wasn't about that, apparently secretly enabling it), control freakish and very negative in their outlook on everything, and thus got on my nerves. Also, PZ Myers got angrier by the week and I didn't feel like spending my spare time watching a guy pop his aneurysms live on the internet.
