I'm almost here for the same amount of time as you, so I assume we come from the same thread from reddit ;) When I was new, I tried to establish the gaming or even league of legends tag, maybe the hockey tag to find people who share my interest here, but pretty fast I realized that's not really possible, because the community is too small for that over here. Only Kafka and 8bit are in for some gaming stuff (even that I know their names is proof enough).

So overall I'm probably less active over here than I want to be. It feels a little like being left out if you don't know the people pretty well, for example I've seen 8bitsamurai being called 8bit for a while now and it took me a little until I knew that they talk about him. Knowing that I will never meet these people in real life because I'm from Europe doesn't help either.

So I just open the tab every day at work and see what's new, and barely bother updating the frontpage, because there's less activity than on the big sites. On reddit I'm subbed to mainly non defaults in the meanwhile and I either stay informed that way or some other ones have nice people where I chat along or submit stuff myself.

Of hubski I always think of a reddit with serious- and smart-pants on (in a positive way), where you have more of a familiar atmosphere (not necessarily my thing, but it makes this site what it is)
