But I should note that I am someone who has stayed on LessWrong, and who reads a sizable portion of everything that's posted here, and thus there's some difference between me and people who left.

Out of curiosity, why have you stayed, why do you read as much as you do, and how are you different?

I suspect I find reading and posting on forums more intrinsically motivating than most people; this was one of my primary hobbies before LW, and it will likely be one of my primary hobbies after LW. LW was just the best forum I had found.
