Yeah, that's sort of a problem. by

If and when you do get Permission, that won't mean you've 'completed' your socialising and can now stop. The PPC Community is about interaction, whether you're writing missions on the side or not. If you talk a lot, get Permission, and then suddenly go silent, we're going to look quite askance at that.
But yeah, I know what you mean. I'm the second most prolific poster on the Board (after Iximaz, who I think posts while she sleeps), but I've only posted a handful of times since the Shipfest ended - and all of those posts were related to dead authors. Because, yeah, none of the threads currently above that interest me (well, I read Rose Potter Mission 3, but don't have anything to say about it).
But next week, there'll be four or five new threads topping the Board, and maybe those will be more interesting. I've got a couple in mind to start myself, actually. So while I'm still compulsively checking the Board, I'm not saying anything.
And that's fine. The Board isn't going anywhere. If it takes you a week or two to find a thread to sink your teeth into - well, so what? By the end of the year, you won't remember the difference.
I realise it's frustrating now - it's frustrating for me, too (possibly more so, since when I joined virtually every thread was relevant to my interests). But it'll pass. Give it - give us - time.

This was the exact same problem I was dealing with. by

Sometimes you just don't feel like there's much you can contribute to a thread, so you don't post. As someone who is still learning to become more talkative here, you're on the right track. Jump in on what you can, but don't feel like you half to jump on everything. Someday there will be a thread you will excel in, and it will help immensely. Just have to wait and see!
