Though i think it may be monitors in some instances, i also think it may be personal preference in others. I tend to like dark pics. For this challenge site, though, i have found that most of the voters like them brighter. Usually what i do is get my picture where I like it then brighten it as much as possible without losing color, quality, etc. Then, I submit. I don't think I've ever gotten a general "too bright" comment, and I pretty sure i've never seen one here. Overexposure may be a different story. Like you though, the "too dark" gets around quite a bit.
Also remember that a small percentage reads the forums, and of those, teh monitors are probably calibrated, or the owners know the short comings and adjust.
You may be preaching to the choir, as we say around here. :-)
