You put my thoughts into words brilliantly in this spot and that was the very reason I've really tried to keep the Health Thread going. Hopefully I can keep contributing to the community to keep awesome members like you engaged enough to always stick around. I know I have a go at Chat being the reason for less board activity whenever I can but I know that's not the reason. We are at an all-time low in activity since I've been here (S17) but I do believe threads like that should and will help us engage old and new members alike, hopefully creating a bigger group and not a bigger gap between old and new members.
It was in the soccer (football) thread during S17 that I had my first VHL interaction with Tyler Owens, and then Kendrick, Victor, Shawn etc... the off-topic discussions roped me into the community and the drive to better my player was just the cherry on top. I hope we can one day return to that.
