There are some old members who used to be capable of at least basic communication in Lojban in real time, but haven't kept up. I think Matt Arnold can probably still speak the language reasonably well, though I haven't communicated with him in it in a long time; Mark Shoulson and And Rosta certainly used to be good at it, also.
I include myself in that category as well; while I was never fluent, I used to be a far better speaker if Lojban than I am today. Any time I offer to withdraw from the membership, on the grounds that I feel the LLG's business should be primarily responsive to the needs of active users of the language, I'm encouraged to stay, because it is felt that there's value in a larger proportion of members who take active part in the meetings; I reliably vote based on my perception of what serves the interest of those soaking Lojban more regularly than myself, and I have recently been urging a few such people who seem concerned with the future of our community to request membership.

Yep.This all looks strange. It sound like all members say "Yeah, I support
Lojban but I'm not going to learn it".
I don't think the "all members" part is correct. Looking at the list of members http://www.lojban.org/tiki/LLG+Members (which seems eerily up to date) I would say perhaps a little bit less than half of the members.I can confirm only la .pier., la .camgusmis., la .xorxes.. As for the others I simply never seen long (more than one utterance) conversations with them in real time.Ofc. I monitored only communication via internet, not IRL.Outside IRC and LLG personally I also communicated with la gejyspa in private chats.That's all I can confirm.mu'o mi'e xorxes--
