Things have changed around here

Lots of old members leaving this site, lots of new members arriving.
I’m not too comfortable with change.

I’m missing many of the older familiar members.

It all seems a bit strange to me now.

I hope I can get used to it.

Hey! There are still some old members here. We’ll be here for a long time. :slight_smile: You’ll get to know the new ones. And you’ll always have people here who know you and care about you.

I’m not really old or new, but I’ve been on a lot of forums and I think that’s just the nature of forums. You’ve always got the core group that shrinks and grows and then there’s always an influx of new people that change the feeling of the forum/board. You just have to study through and find the new people that are with knowing and hope they stick around.

I’ve only been here since December, but I see certain names pop up more often than others. I feel like I know them better, or at least as well as one can know someone else on the other end of a computer.

There’s something to be said about the comfort of the older, regular posters…their reliability and familiarity.

But at the same time, we were all newbies once. I like getting to know fresh faces and stories. The forum goes in cycles. The newest poster today, might just end up being your good friend down the road.

As someone who’s only a relatively recent addition since I was gone for months, it is interesting to see how there were people I didn’t recognize already after being away for only a few months! But I think new faces can be helpful and bring new perspectives. :slight_smile:

It’s okay. It also feels weird for me not having some of the regulars around.

I always feel like a forever noob, like an outsider. Even on forums where I’ve been visiting for years.

Like the fallen Autumn leaves they dance and twirl and spin and eventually blow away. Nothing is forever. Love them while you can. Appreciate their beauty before they’re gone. Then just let go with a smile knowing come spring there will be all new leaves to love.

Full disclosure though, it’s not mine I just plucked it off the web because someone mentioned a tattoo with a monkey smoking. IDK I do things like that.
