If there was no merit system and no rankings, then there would have not been much interest to post actively in the forum.
Indeed, the merit system challenges me for real. You know the feeling of posting as hard as you can and then go to your profile the moment you log in once again to know whether you able to get at least a single merit or not? That's what I feel most of the time. So thrilling! It makes my heart skip a beat

. Though I don't get merits sometimes but that's fine with me, getting nothing doesn't make me hate this forum. It actually encourages me to grind harder because I'm not really contented with 71 merits. I want to have more.
The wide variety of topics here is also one of the main reasons why I'm still interested in this forum

. It really tests my brain to cope in various discussions. I'm used on solving math problems and thought it was the hardest to understand but d*mn
economics and
technology (mainly crypotocurrency) is more complex lol. I'm still a newbie when it comes on those topics that's why I remain eager to stay here to contimue learning
