(Take all this with a grain of salt, I'm just putting out what i observe being semi-active.) I wanted to kinda acknowledge how the change of affection, respect, and creativity changes throughout most small communities, mainly in referring to aol, or not just aol, but the small Hollow Knight art/rp community on scratch, or even very close friends of people who are large parts of the community, who therefore know a few people in the community by extension. But unless you are lucky enough to know someone who is a big part of this community (whether you are in the community yourself or not) you start to slip behind, your name is mentioned less, your ability to share you creations is stifled and you must find a way to get people to remember you. And if you don't, coming back gets harder and harder, you create less content, talk to less people, and certain bonds die out. You move on, caring less about about sharing your ideas and the community of sharing declines to a grinding halt to just a handful of people. But sometimes, one of the inspiring influential people start a new community, and invite old friends, and the circle continues. little 1 minute chat gbye
