It's hard to be a newbie here, especially since people have been grouping up. Heck, it's even harder to be a 1.5 year old minnow here haha! Newbies get a boost because whales want to ramp newbies up quickly. But, for old minnows like me, there just doesn't seem to be a place here anymore.

You just have to put yourself out there and leave thoughtful comments in other people's posts to get noticed. Looking at your profile, I see that your last post was 2 months ago, why is that? Just post about things you're passionate about, comment on posts that you feel share your interests and don't give up. These are exciting times we're in, and we have to adapt to the turbulence if we want to survive.

You have the right mindset there, with regard to patience and persistence. Just keep at it, and you'll do great!
