Granted, the place was more active back then. Now, I suppose that I have mellowed a bit and only engage in the deep stuff if I feel an urge.
That's why I joined. I wanted to find thinkers, not specifically atheists, even though I've been a non-believer most of my life, but I don't actively seek out atheist content. I'm aware of people like Hitchens, Dawkins, etc, but I don't follow that type of content. I just like anything that is interesting to me and that usually involves science or any discussion involving critical thinking and why we do the things we do as humans.

Maybe this is the reason why people on atheists sites are more often lurkers than posters. Seems like you've answered your own question.
