This is when you stop becoming a member of a forum and start becoming a member of a community. The forum itself might change, will probably change. Your posting rate might slow down, you might disappear for a while, but you'll always come back and start posting again. And you always know you'll be welcome, and that there will be at least some people you'll know. Good online communities have that special something that makes you want to keep coming back.
