Well, I have been here a while and think this place is just fine. People come and go and one of the nice things about this place is that just because your gone for a bit, it does not mean you can't come back.

Personally, I am in the process of off-loading most of my "collection" in an attempt to keep what I truly love and ride and not be encumbered with managing the "stuff" that comes with this type of hobby. I also will be taking delivery of a modern, steel road bike in the next week or so (10sp w/ brifters ) because I test road it and really enjoyed it.
