Unfortunatly without all these newbies....Me included really...There would not be an Elite Dangerous.. 
We welcomed every pledger on the kickstarter with open arms to raise the money.....Whats the difference now

That's what I meant when I said I gave no thought to the fact this is exactly how it would be if Elite 4 ever did get made.

Suddenly one of the regulars whose name, no-one can seem to remember, notices a figure in a dark corner. He starts to approach the sad, lonely Commander Alien, but she gives him a very evil look that clearly says that she does not wish to be disturbed.
The friendly stranger goes to the bar for a refill, and the barkeep consoles him. "She's always been there, not wanting to be a part of the communtiy, nursing that glass with "life" on it, wondering if it's half full, or half empty." *Alien Quote*
I did say after this post of yours, that you had been noticed(and noticed you had been here along time) i was hoping you were going to carry on, and join in the fiction Thargoid Thread some more(might not be your thing though) hope you do, its a bit of harmless fun

I'm sure most of us were lurking around, waiting for a word of Elite 4 even if we did not participate on this relatively new forum. I used to be active in the newsgroups in 1999 and 2000 or so. I even wrote some fan-fic about Frontier/FFE. I wrote a retroview of the original Elite for a gaming mag in 2007 and in several other reviews and articles I've always compared new space games to Elite and Frontier. And I was, at one time, very active on the Oolite gaming forum.
It is undoubtedly true that there was a small community here on these forums devoted to a dream of Elite 4. But it does not mean that those who were not on these forums at the time were not also dreaming.
It is also undoubtedly true that the great influx of new members may have completely eradicated that original community feel. But, unfortunately, that is true on almost every venue of life. Times change, people change and communities change.
The devs are reading - and they really are, I see it happening - every post in the DDF forum.

I thought of Men at work(dont think it is) am all over the place right now, trying to work it out!!!!

Cheer up mate. I can only imagine some of you guys here have a shared history of nostalgia. And this particular bit of cyberspace must have been a nice hangout. Without an account, I am sure I have ended up here several times in the past checking out the details of Elite 4 rumors.
As for the first poster in the thread. I don't know what a realistic expectation is. Would anything make him happy enough? I am happy with the newsletters I am getting as a backer. From the interviews and info I've seen, I am convinced the 'spirit' is still in the creator(s). And I'm sure they'll make something worthwhile. I'm really in it for the end product.
And I do appreciate the forum members here who dug into online discussions to gather and sort out comments on design, fiction, etc. It's reasonably organized, too. For me that's enough as a newcomer.
When it comes to forums, I'll have any advice on participation. Recent topics often consist of many pages by the time I see them. And mostly someone like-minded will have added to the debate already. So I expect to stay lurking most of the time
