I have been 'pretty' active.
There are pro's and con's in every system and I would say that a con has been the introduction of the bidbots but, that is what it is. The major pros are of course the increasing amount of applications that are utilising the blockchain, the increasing amount of smaller investors who have used the low prices to power up, the introduction of Resource Credits that have cut spam down heavily and will offer a lot of flexibility, the recent reduction in costs to run a node, the waking up of the community to taking responsibility and the realisation that this is much more than a blogging site.
Overall, I am enjoying my time here more now than when I started as I have spent time digging into the community more and being involved on and off chain in various ways.
Yes you are rightm....
