Sums up my own feelings quite accurately on the subject, including my conflicted feelings about the growth of Forest as a region. At the risk of sounding like an old man shaking my cane at passing clouds, I'll say that I used to keep on top of unread RMB messages quite frequently, even though I didn't (and don't) post much. But these days, I'm definitely letting most of it go unread, and that bums me out a bit because I wonder what interesting and thought provoking topics might be buried in the red "156 unread message" icon now.
I recognize the contradiction in agreeing with our core value that Forest is open to all nations and also feeling frustrated with what's been happening as a result of becoming so populous. Same as I'm conflicted when I see another swath of undeveloped land in my town get that big white "we're going to build something here" notice (I wish green spaces to stay green), even as I also wish property values weren't quite so out of control so more of my friends could afford a house if they wish (which building more houses would ostensibly help with).
