I think its clear many people have been having similar feelings lately.
I think we will just have to accept that some people are on DTT to only help themselves. Which is fine, that's probably how most of us started out on here anyway. I know I did.
The thing that makes DTT awesome is that there are so many amazing people willing to unconditionally help complete strangers. That is what transformed me from a 'I'm only here for your help' member into a 'I will do whatever I can do to help you' member. (Even if it is only moral support in my case because I still barely know anything.)
I just hope that many of the new/future members develop the same sense of community and comradeship that I did. I look forward to making new DTT friends, because I love all of my current DTT pals like we have been friends for 10 years.
(Also, I was always under the impression that having a build thread on here was a requirement to be eligible for BOTM? How can a bike be a DTT bike of the month if it isn't even a DTT bike?!)
