I used to be active, and I've said most of my 0.02c.
As someone else mentioned I tend to choose which call to actions to participate in. I don't honestly believe banner ads will have any effect, and given they cost a lot of money, it's basically a waste in my opinion.
I use adblockplus, so I never really see any ads on the internet (can't stand them), and nobody I know pays much attention to them, so I'm passing that one up.
I've also lost some drive due to the incessant wait time with the Hail Mary CTA. There are reasons given for it's delay that while might appease most people who don't know otherwise, I have certain information I can't divulge that I believe to be one of the causes of its delay and I'm not really happy about it.
I check the forums now about once a week instead of every day.
As far as MWM goes, I can't really seem to get an update from anybody, and leads above me have dropped off the radar. I still wish for the project to succeed, but I'm not going to spend my time in limbo working on things that are going to be shelved due to miscommunication or missed memos.
We would've been better off keeping the number of volunteers to a minimum until a concrete organizational plan and vetting was done beforehand, instead of an array of people getting thrusted into positions they probably were not ready for. The technology and platforms we've been using to form some semblance of a virtual office have changed so many times I've about thrown my hands up and decided to just wait it out until someone can tell me exactly what they need from me. I'm guessing at this point its probably nothing.
All in all, I hope the community keeps in touch with each other, but moving on seems to be the way to go for folks who don't see any light at the end of the tunnel.
Hope can really only do so much before you start realizing the facts. I'm not trying to be negative though, because I do still think there's a chance, at least for another year or two that something may come from all of this.
