I did not connect it until this thread with people not doing intro posts. I hope that hasn't scared away any newer keepers, there are definitely some recent posts I would like to hear the updates on.I did however do an introduction post before I finally commented or made any posts, I just was here reading/searching for a while before I felt comfortable commenting.I think its likely because forums aren't as common of a website format nowadays unfortunately. All four forums I'm on suffer from a lot of new members joining, making an emergency post, never returning (or at least never replying again) to read the responses to it, and never updating how the situation ended. It can be very draining, but I also understand that forums are a totally different beastie than other social medias and I don't think many people realize that initially when joining them anymore.</blockquote>
