Well, there are newer members that might make the negative situation happen all over again. I am avoiding these people because they are too serious (in a negative way) and the mods had to step in when it happened.
Wow. Same case as me. I didn't know we have something in common, that I, also had the time where I couldn't really get into the whole forum thing and because at that time I was also busy irl, I couldn't find any threads that interest me and went missing for a long time, then returned to post but then I went missing again before returning (again). Other than that, I find it fun to just watch people post and me not posting even I read most of the threads that I'm subscribed to.
