It is really a problem. Not all users in this forum are participating with the sending or giving of merits but we cannot blame those who are not doing so because that is there 'right' to decide whether to give or not. If ever you won't get a merit from creating a topic, do not stop, maybe, other users think that there is an 'absence' of something that would convince to give you a merit from your post or topic created. We should all seek for improvements.

Also, there are merit giveaways sometimes, participating would be a good idea, so do not lose hope.
