This thread really helped me alot, @Ratimov was the one that really helped me in ranking up to full member, the merit he gave me really encouraged me now am in senior member, I noticed he already stopped giving people merit on the thread, I just wish he can countinue with his good work, lots of people have benefited from it and it serves as an encouragement. I just hope @Ratimov will see this post and he can couninue his good work, lot's of people have really benefited from the thread.
I hope that he continues his good work of distributing merit too. But it looks like he has abandoned this thread. He has not posted in this thread or merited any posts here for a long time running now. Maybe he has lost that interest in doing it and helping others rise. I would have applied if it is still open.
