Personally, I just see an interesting thread and post in it. I'm subscribed to sooooo many threads on here, it's ridiculous. Of course, most of them habe either gone inactive or I don't particularly care anymore but am still subscribed. But I have never read through, seen a certain name, and decided to leave. Never worry about it. Heck, I don't even notice who is in the thread usually. I just post. I know sometimes the big people can be a little intimidating and it's easier said than done but honestly, the threads and forums are here for a reason, they exist for people to post, and I also like helping people so usually try to help too sometimes. Of course, most of the posts like that have either zero answers or minimal answers so not really a concern I guess but still, I have posted in big threads too. They may have been here a while but the way I look at it, they're just another person. They've just been here a little longer, that's all. Although I must said this is the one thread that does sort of intimidate me just because you guys have all been here forever and it's basically just friends hanging out now even if it started a bit different so yeah
