Without you, this form has one ball. Well, without your avatar, that is... Think about it! You and me, our avatars were both semi-round. We were this forum's balls!
...I mean eye balls, of course. Get your mind out of the gutter, guys. Sheesh.
It's not being better off. It's about the same, just like it would be about the same if I left it really. We might be unique members, and no one can fill in our places, but others can always come in and make another place that wasn't filled before to take minds off of it.
