You have to accept that all of us come from different backgrounds and probably different forums. And someone rightly said that each individual brings something fresh to the community. I used to be a moderator for a forum group that started off with a very small group of individuals, eventually it got very large and very popular that I had to leave; but not because it was so big, but because I found that the older members were moaning too much about the new members.
Variety is the spice of life, without new people entering the pool, it'll only grow stale and stagnant, it's very easy to get bored of talking to the same people about the same things day in day out. The reason that peoples post counts go up so quickly is most likely to do with the reason that there are more topics to post to, and more people to talk to.
Scythe, I hope that you continue being a member and never consider leaving these boards, you can still make plenty of new friends. I and many others I'm sure, respect you for having been a veteran of these boards for so long. I hope you will make new members welcome, so that you can be a shining example for them...

You win a giant cookie. It's so huge, it had to be baked up in earth orbit, on a clear dark night, you can see it clearly gleaming in the night sky.
Unfortunately, a bunch of astrounauts muddied up some bits, and people keep mistaking it for a moon, but dont listen, that big ol' giant cookie is all yours to have!
