Yeah, totally. In the past year, (for various reasons) i typically go weeks and weeks between posts and sometimes even weeks between reading stuff on the board. But i used to be a multiple-posts-per-week babbler. It is kind of disheartening: no one knows what you're like, your conditions, problems; you don't feel like your comments-- and questions-- command as much importance. And not to mention, like you said, there are so many new people (which is cool), and many of the recognizable people are gone. And then you also wonder what all of the many interesting discussions and points or suggestions you missed, and what questions of yours has already been touched on just last week or what have you. So yeah, it really starts to suck after you're gone for weeks or more. But oh well.
(Sorry i should stop speaking in the 2nd person so much).
