Thank you everyone for your warm and heartful responses. ![[Image: smiley-happy119.gif]](http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-happy119.gif)
@Bust Quest-I appreciate your reassurances.
@Fire & Ice-Yeah, I agree there is still much to share. I think you're right about the knowledge gap. I guess the question is, how do we retain more of the experienced members?
@Man2breasts-NBE slave? You make it sound like this forum is like some sort of BDSM haven!
It's good to hear I'm still needed.
@Kari-It's true, repeating what I said before did make me feel like a worn out and useless record. I do like to mentor newbies, but at the same time I have concerns that as time goes on, the more and more difficult it will be for me to relate to the newcomers and vice versa. As for other demands in your life, I think that's why a lot of other members elect to leave or seldom visit the forum anymore.
@iaboy-I can't leave my friends behind! I never wanted to leave the forum, but I didn't want to stay around anymore if I was fading away into irrelevance. It's a relief to know that isn't the case.
@Misty-It's nice to hear I'm a stable voice!
It means a lot to me that you hold my opinion in high esteem.
@Spanky-Thank you for hearing me out. It's a relief to hear I'm not the only one who is confronted by a state of uncertainty.
@Lenneth-Yes, I should stay around, especially since you got me hooked into GW2!
@Annie-It's interesting you brought up my androgynous nature. Sometimes I feel like this keeps me at a distance, but I do enjoy hearing you like having me around on the forum.
