@Tito Lol, why @Tito why, please dont stop, I saw your photospheres all the way from Nigeria. You are great man, please continue to contributes on map just u also want to be a badge collector now. if you need more clarity i dont mind spending time to explain everything to you.
Dear @HelloSamsonR, maybe I have a countercurrent way of thinking, but I'm really enjoying this quite period after the storm.
In the last two week Connect was very similar to Facebook, with a lot of posts (included mine) and a lot of Kudos, most of the posts about summit2017,and ended with a lot of fun, mostly useful for getting new friends, new kudos, but without giving a real added value to the community.
Now most of the 150 are posting on the summit exclusive Board (well, I hope I will have time to post in there too, as I didn't right now), some of the not included in the list stops to post in Connect (yes @DiAnaUS, I've read your post).
Like you, Samson, I like beautiful post, but a nice post cannot be made everyday. I want to invite everyone to not be forced to post. I remember everyday to myself the nice words of @TraciC, asking me to be myself.
This is the only way to be, I believe in this, and I never force myself to post something just to get some more kudos, nor I mention everyone to have them to come and see my post.
I like to explore the board, to read the posts without being forced to do it, and I think that also most of you like to do the same.
So, in this quite day, I started to explore Connect from the first beginning, finding beautiful post, mostly unread as the community was very small in July 2016
Please, explore the beauty of our Community, there are unseen pearls in here.
Acting like a moderator, let me please give a suggestion to everyone: "Quote" button is a very dangerous tool, that I would like to remove, as the compulsive use of it make every topic mostly unreadable.
Sometime I'm boring, I know, but this is me 🙂
P. S.: Congratulations to @AnuradhaP, for the double 5000 in just a few minutes
After the result and announcement of Summit17, I have not seen eye catching and interesting posts, and I noticed members arent coming online as before, and the stats has really dropped. Please @OSAMA deliver more eye catching and interesting posts to get more members talking again just as you did and earned 2,500 kudos :D. @LucioV please we need more interesting post and quality content just have you have always been doing + providing quality solutions to topics posted by members like @Tito :D. @AnuradhaP we need you to provide counselling and community guidance to incoming new members just as u always did. @IlankovanT just as @AnuradhaP we need you everywere also. @ProfArunCM we need you to continually support posts just as you always did. @SanyaOdare we need you to also contribute to posts just has u have always done. @BishowvijayaP we need you to continually welcome people in the thread of Introduction just as u have always done :D. and also people like @SalmaanN . and many more great local guides like @ErmesT who provide elderly guidance and great commendations and to make connect a warm and friendly place, please we need you more than ever now. And there are many more great local guides but I cant tag more than 10, please come we need you more than ever :D. #Iamaddictedtolgc
@Badruddeen You are really super active, I have been tailing you end by end. Keep up the good work. After Summit17 activities dropped her on connect, but with Local guides like you, we are sure to get nice threads anytime we log in.

@ErmesT Thanks for your wonderful insights on this thread. The objective of my post was for people like you to continually support and search for local guides who gave up because they were not selected for the Summit17. The objective of my post was also to help support fellow local guides like @Tito Who gave up contributing to the Google Maps and decided to be a badge collector just only on connect. My post is not saying top contributors arent posting. What am saying is please help contribute more so that the slowed down activities could pick up back. But the honest truth is after Summit result were announced activities slowed down, no one can deny that. When it also comes to mention just as you said earlier on, I don't mention people in my post if I am not making reference to them, @ErmesT The truth is a fellow local guide said your name should also be in the list so I fixed it, I didn't put it on the onset :D, scroll down the thread you would see it.
