Also, while we can't assume that a GUGE will be the same way, it IS a really encouraging sign that everyone has gotten a gift in 15 GEs(!) and it's actually a good sign that the gifts have gotten very lavish, because it shows that people are giving a little more than they expect to get each time. If people were joining GEs just to get stuff, you'd see it go in the opposite direction, with gifts getting cheaper and cheaper. It says a lot about the community that such basic GE rules have gotten such a great response.
So if the requirements are a little stricter here in terms of time spent on the boards and posts, I think it's likely that the same spirit of generosity would shine through.
