Very likely. Many people sign up, quickly lose interest after getting flamed, or read all the long winded rubbish that gets posted, then retreat and may only post occasionally or not at all after that.
Also, if you follow all the negative and judgmental comments from all the long time (self professed expert) posters on AN then you might find life in Thailand completely miserable. So can't blame many for ignoring it all and living in the real world so that maybe they can enjoy themselves more.
