My 2 cents: Nobody is affected by this more than Patatitta right now. They tick every checkmark by older standards, but I have no idea what their announcement should be cause I can't remember what they did. It also doesn't help that they slipped under the radar and were totally forgot about until recently.
I guess for such cases we can come to the candidates and ask them directly what they think they contributed to OT. Might do with all of them at that point I guess cause fossils like Penguin stopped looking at OT at some point but still retain a seat.
honestly I dont think I contributed anything to OT, I could probably have never posted and OT would be the exact same
it's just, the current concept of contributing is by making high effort threads, and I just dont like the metas we're in, I dont want to make appreciation threads or churches or anything, I dont want to take part in the padoru war or attack furries
I just chill out and share what I enjoy, but the things I share, no one else here really thinks about it, I would like to post about my mangas and to have debates about them, but people would not care, I can host a ctb tournament, but no one would participate, maybe even a tetris one, but the result would probably be the same, I've sometimes posted threads without anyone really caring about it, but for the cooler stuff I would need user interaction I just dont have access too
i'm not really bothered by this really, forums are a chill way to communicate and talk to people, it feels more relaxing and less demanding than something like discord, that's the reason why I really use this
another reason I have to talk in the forums is pretty selfish, I wish that people that look at my profile years after I quit, can get an idea of how I am as a person by looking at my post history, which is something I think I have archived already
I've already stated before I dont feel like I dont form part of this community, I made a thread about it long ago, I'll admit it's kind of a shame not being able to contribute or really be anyone important, but I cant really blame anyone for it other than myself, at the end of my days, my decisions in here are the one that made me feel that way
If you dont have anything to say about me, then it's fair, just dont make me a denizen, I dont want you to rush adding someone who you dont feel really has done much to a generation that is yet to be defined
still, the rest of OT should probably evaluate what this community really means to then and come to a conclusion what a denizen should really be, instead of throwing out random solutions to arbitrary problems
