Consider why some people left: It was because of statements made that made them feel like thier work was not only unaprechiated, but that they should feel opligated to do things for everyone else.

Another way to help keep this place alive and well is to simpley say "Hey - nice item/post/whatever. Thanks." If you have nothing nice to say....
