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.

Not a top poster

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.
