Seconded completely. I had an account for about a month, I think actually in mid 2011 (funny that). Very few people who were accomplished seemed to have time for it. Felt like nearly all of the posts were of a please-review-my-first-project nature. Also, despite the attempted parity, designers outnumbered the developers so substantially there were only three or four developers on there participating consistently.
I'm grateful Forrst explored the curated social network space, but unless it were done better I don't think I'll have time for it again. I think you could create and sustain a designer/developer site like that, but probably not with unchecked positive growth. I would like to see more curated communities, but the curation on Forrst doesn't seem to go far enough. You can either release a site to the world or keep it private to your friends; the space between those two extremes is troublesome.
