/me carries Joxley away.
Same here, I just went to google after needing some advice on a computer build so I typed in computer forum and nearly a year later i'm still here... I tend to stick around for a while. On one community i've been activetly involved in for nearly 4 years now. Off and of. Also there was a big shake up once upon a time and a lot of highprofile members went aganist CF and got the boot. I don't mess them that much.
I think of web communties as a business. The poeple that orginally helped create it tend to stay for a while then retire. Then poeple take their place, some stick around then others. Some communties are stronger then others. Some last longer. Its very simple.
