I understand exactly what you are saying, Steven, and am not blaming anyone for the situation.
I am simply pointing out why I believe there is such a high number of people who have been juried in and who have never posted.

This Forum is not just about posting one's work for critique and it's not just about learning to paint. It's also about exchanging ideas, tips, resources, marketing ideas, experiences in workshops, etc. One can join and never post for critique. That is totally optional. We always hope to find new talent who will do critiques so it doesn't always just fall on a few.
So, I don't think the lack of posting is just about lack of critique response. There are some who have been approved for membership who really are so good they are beyond critiques and they probably know it.
I do think that putting the password on the critiques area makes it cumbersome and less frequented, but was done at the request of a few members who didn't want their work seen by the general public.
