Are things slower around here?

matter of fact i was gonna say your name paladin

then i noticed you joined in 2012, were you even posting back then ?

Considering that you mentioned a user like Paladin just now, Lexou, it actually serves as a good segue into a point I would like to mention.

While it is true that Level 1 (even though he was here before under the name 2-D) and Iocus are the two newest members that made the biggest impact, I've been noticing that a few "veterans" on this site have been making a splash. For example, even though Sevenstitch joined in 2010, he didn't begin actively posting until 2012. Sure, while it would be nice to keep raking in new users, it makes me wonder how much the lurkers on this forum would actually contribute if they finally get around to actually posting. Also, it's not just them that would make a difference. If I'm not mistaken, I think there was at least a small handful of successful members who were once the kind of newbies who created mediocre sprites and asked for requests and then left the site before coming back a while later. Considering this factor, trying to get those kind of users who left the site back and tempering them into better users wouldn't hurt, right?
