I'd agree to this, I frequent CD extremely, I probably check it as much as I do my other social media. However after initially joining, I tend not to post as much for that very reason, or for being afraid to share my ideas due to them not being completely fleshed out in my head. I know several others that feel the same.

Couldn't agree more. I know and understand Chief Delphi is supposed to be for all members of the FIRST Community, but it does feel like it's a Alumni/Mentor based forum, and it does make it slightly more scary to post as a student.

I must agree. I think seeing more student's views on topics we discuss here would be a great thing for the community.
