furthermore, don't feel that your opinions are not noticed ,they are actually noticed and recognized but just know that nothing good comes easy and don't be discouraged maybe because you have not been merited . However , i have seen some newbies here with 100 activity and 0 merit please don't be discouraged or feel that you don't know how to make quality post ,just know that those post are very relevant and time will come when they will be merited.
Many people are introduced here, but their lack of patience sends them packing. Some recognize their own merit and discourage others from trying, which is why the majority of new users are not increasing. However, if you remember that you are capable of succeeding, you won't find anything too challenging, even though better things never come easily.
I always knew that the forum is not for Everyone and that some people no matter how Much they try to become regular members of this forum with their contributions they will never be at peace and will never see the forum as home. So some newbies are also quitting the forum not because their posts have not been merited or because they have been criticized but just simply that they are not comfortable with the consistency that the forum demands and they know that within them self they will not be able to provide it sustainably for a long time.
