Just to play Devil's Advocate....
They could now finally be posting stuff because... A)They have had enough and finally decided to say something in public. B)They are newer to FIRST or the "community" behind it.
Also...one can feign most of the above. Larger post count can't be driven up through the chit chat area (although thats easily trackable for all), reputation can be boosted easily by doing a "Reputation Ring" in which a group of 10+ people just constantly rep each other, you can also fake your team affiliation and make up a name.

Don't be scared to post something that is more than "dave is great" "here's my caption contest entry" and "overdrive is the best thing ever". Say something interesting. Say something that will make others think. Create discussion.
If you do say something that isn't just for fun or praising something, which hopefully you do, just be prepared to back up what you said.
Remember: GP is Gracious Professionalism, not Glorifiying Plesantries. Saying something negative does not mean you are evil. It could help someone out a lot.
Anything that I post is an opinion from my own mind. Some may agree with it, others may not. However do not negatively associate anyone else, including any team I work with, with my opinion.
