"... not much in the way of a thriving community here".
Really? Man, I have trouble keeping up with all the new threads and posts; it's the most active single-product or company forum I've ever used. Said activity suggests to me that it is thriving.
Apart from the "frenzied" activity, we have a huge number of very generous members, both with their time as well as in their profile-sharing and creating activities.
Perhaps you're just seeing things through a temporality-tainted lens, SwAn1. As has been suggested, a break might be in order; chances are you'll be back bushy-tailed and bright-eyed before you know it.
OK, it's wishful thinking on my part, but you know what? If this wasn't a thriving community, there'd be nobody jumping in and asking you to reconsider. So please, for what it's worth, SwAn1, reconsider mate!
EDIT: This "non-thriving" community has just broken its record for most users online according to Paul.
