Of course it won't be what it was, because the population is ever changing, but what says that different can't be just as good? There will not be another Right Track or Big3, nor would you want one if you got one, because the reason users like these are meaningful to you is because they are one of a kind. The ticket is to acknowledge this, and then be open to all the different kinds of irreplaceable users that are certain to come through here.
I found it difficult for a long time not to take it personally that every forum I ever joined was "dying". It's hard not to be disappointed by the fact that the community you're trying to be a part of is too busy missing other people to recognize the value in new contributors, but I have come to realize that this is a constant, and not a result of my joining at a bad time, or worse: causing the problem.
