No offense, but I'm 23 years old. I'm probably nearly twice as old as a majority of the player base so it's fairly difficult to find common ground and interests. The forums are a little immature and frivolous a lot of the time, with tons of unnecessary drama. They don't keep my attention very long, and haven't, since I started playing in 2006. As a result of that I very rarely visit the toribash website except to get new versions.
I have always gotten by just fine with minimal forum activity, I can certainly make sure to check in more often. Though I cannot see myself becoming particularly active on the forums.
