Not a top poster, but I concur with your summary. Certainly it's a good forum for the new people to get introduced to the ideas or "rationality" and chat about them here. Then it plateaus and just becomes a decent place to hang out. At that point most new ideas come from SSC, Eliezer's FB posts, EA, etc.
It seems fairly clear that this is more an indication of what a dubious metric being in the "top recent posters" list is than of anything else.
