Laura-
Snap out of it and quit the pouting!!
We all have gains at some point in our weight loss journeys. ( I know I've had plenty!!!)
If you are on a plateau then sit down and write things down, see what's going on, maybe your eating too much, or too little, getting in enough water? Maybe your working out too much for how much you've been eating. Write all down, make a plan and give it a few weeks.
As far as not posting on the monthly thread, you don't have to go back and read every single thread. It's a bit daunting sometimes. Try posting and hanging out more, you'll get lots of support there, as well as ideas, well wishes and thoughts from other people who in the same boat you are in. I find the more support I have the better I do. You are not in this weight loss war alone, we are all here for the same reason, to lose weight, to get healthy, to feel better.
