As you can see, I am a Sr. member right now and I never had time to create a thread. To be honest, I was demotivated to create a thread when I see people create a thread to celebrate their rank up and some of us call him Merit Begger intentionally. So I gave up.
It's all right, do what you think is right and what you personally like, unless of course it violates the rules of the forum. And there will always be all sorts of provocateurs and whiners, there is no getting away from this. Never rely on the opinions of people who mean absolutely nothing to you, otherwise you will be dependent on their idiotic reaction and will be afraid to do what you see fit. If you want to tell about yourself and your successes on the forum, as dozens of other users do, feel free to write about it.
