I have tried to be "active" a while back - but was not really successful - I guess - (did not get the status) and gave-up. It is - or let me be more correct - I find it difficult - to be "active" for 2 reasons.
1. It seems ambiguous what is required. It is subjective, (I do believe it judges fairly - but the parameters are not known) I actually get it why it is subjective -as this allows for a broader spectrum of contributions to be considered. But as an aspiring member it is ambiguous even frustrating.
2. Myself I am not a super well "poker educated" player. I guess I fall in the cathegory of recreational player. As such - I had difficulty finding topics that I can contribute to. Some hand analysis go beyond my knowledge, and there are very few - (or I do not know where to find them) threads that would talk about say some nice game opportunities(share knowledge of some good promos), some nice results to celebrate with friends, some bad beats - to make it less painful and perhaps to learn from, - that is threads I would be more interested in.
Not sure this makes any sense ... hope it does.
