Dangerous. Just make sure you don’t become #1. The board has a history of banning its #1.
Man, if that doesn’t describe my dating profile…
But I am one of those posts-infrequently people you might or might not recognize. I usually post for only 2 reasons: I have a question I think would be answered best here, or I feel I can provide an answer to someone thereby paying back for the times the Board has helped me.
But it’s often the case for the latter example that, by the time I read something I can help with, I find that 5 or 6 members have already provided said information. Which is part of the reason I love this place.
Oh, and a third reason is that sometimes, albeit rarely, I think I have something amusing to say. Whether my assumption is correct present deponent knoweth not.
It happens to me occasionally. Less so now with avatars. I’m a visual person.
Before this thread I’ve never noticed:
Ellecram
pjd
Folly
Xocomil
Lare
Make of that what you will.
I read this and was wondering what natureboy did, since he always seemed so nice. And he has that nice dolphin avatar.
Oh. That would be dophinboy.
Doesn’t seem to stop me (6 years and 3,800 posts). 
Sad to see how many people stopped posting around the time we changed to Discourse.
@LSLGuy Thanks for the tip about the User section.
I too was massively disappointed, and most utterly mystified, at the large volume of folks who said that the (trivial IMO) tech change overwhelmed their interest in a community they’d been part of for 15-20 years.
IMO its like refusing to go to your favorite restaurant / hangout ever again because they repainted the walls a different shade of off-white. Hint people: it’s about the food or the company, not the wall paint.
WTF is wrong with those people?
A lower tolerance for technological novelty.
It’s a difficult trait to live with in this era of accelerating technological advance, but it’s there nonetheless.
I’d substitute “negligible” for “lower”, but you’re surely correct.
To me at least, anything about the presentation or the process pales as to nothing next to the words of our people. The medium is most definitely not the message, charlatan McLuhan notwithstanding.
To be fair, I haven’t been posting as long as the others on your list.
Good God, I’ve read 5000 posts today? Time to go to bed.
For me it wasn’t trivial. I could not get my login to work and it delayed my rejoining for months because figuring it out was a pain. And I’m a tech professional so I can’t imagine what it’s like for people who don’t deal with IT stuff for a living.
