One thing I've found especially interesting about this site's development is that I slowly climbed from the lower third of the age spread into the middle. I thought that was kind of funny.
I think that this community has its issues, just like any other. They're just easier to see than in real life. In fact, I'm still not quite sure where I fit in with this community. When I joined, I was the typical new-member, trying to keep up with the standards, stretching my abilities to fit them. I didn't quite make it then, but I'm now able to do that, but all the good discussion seems to be gone. Do I make threads? I was never one for making them, I've only ever made two. They didn't do to well. Perhaps I should try again? Actually contribute? Sounds like a good idea to me...
