Consistency is hard.
Staying committed to the forum is difficult.
Life change, priorities drastically take you away (or toward) the forum.
This gives even more credit to the people with a higher activity rank who are still around.
I definitely want to be one of those.

Even though I am a new user, I always follow some experienced people.
Of which you are one.
Consistency is really difficult in real life because priorities tend to shift so much.
That’s precisely why all the experienced users who have earned high ranks should be respected their continuous presence in the forum shows that they are dedicated to the community, not merely interested.
Striving to be like that will surely be an excellent idea for you. Forum communities need exactly this attitude. With proper time management and interesting discussions, you will eventually become one of these role models!
Agree with everything you said there. I think I will always be active on the forum, whilst I am able to be. I am not an old man yet so hopefully I can be here for many more decades.
It’s sad when people slip away from being active but like you said, life priorities change and sadly we have alwo had a number of deaths over the years.
It hurts even more when long-term members leave, but as you mentioned, life happens. People change, and sometimes it feels sad how much time has passed because we lose people from our communities throughout the years.
But it is good to know about your dedication to being part of the discussion. You have a lot of years ahead of you, and it is good that you have such an experience, which allows a forum culture to exist. Communities need someone who connects the past and future generations. Cheers for more years of wonderful talks and staying connected despite everything that happens in life!
