I don't think if spending such time of about %80 here is really a sign of success. Sometimes success is messured according to the value you creat with your time. Staying here in Bitcoin forum all day without learning anything is also as doing nothing. Many people have spent countless times here, thinking that it will do the good but they failed, because they don't know how to go about it just as @makus said, say person need to get telegram notification bot wey go dey connected to some of your conversation with some discurssion with some oga them. So that if them make comment, you go receive the notifications so that no be every post person ft read.
For here, many people dey grow on stety basis, and most at times them no dey dey online steady. Them dey make sure say them task themselves to achieve a better thing or contribute meaningfuly to the forum, just withing the little slightest chance wey Dem get. So you go confirm am say wetting one person fit use the whole day do somebody go use 1hour do am. Or wetting take take 10 years to achieve by mr A, go take 1 or 2 years to achieve am by me B. That is to tell you say no matter what you do, if you no dey follow the wright track you no go still grow as you talk.
If most of our legendary now tell you how they started their journey in this bitcointalk forum you will even find out that some of us are very very lucky here. Some legends here when they started they devoted all their time and effort on this bitcointalk forum, some of them even spent 2 to 3 years before they started eating the fruits of their labour but take a look at now that even before 4 months some people have even reached the level of a full member something that even took some senior members here years before they could achieve not even that they weren't too creative but at that time too this bitcointalk forum have not recorded the kind of improvement it has now because then there were very few merit sources coordinating how merits was distributed within the forum and there were no or very few local board for people to interact more in a language they could understand and also assist each other to achieve certain level of success but now we have about 109 merit sources and lots of local boards.
Everything you talk here na true because I don hear am for different, how members dem been suffer well well before them fit rank up for here. because merit been scare. But now new people go do 30 post no merits, them go start to complain. If you see this forum you go see some people wey don dey here for long. there activities Don reach 500 but just get 30 to 40 merits, and them never still give up. that is to show you dem no give up on the hustle.
One thing is for sure, for this life every first timer dey discover something and they always sacrifice things to achieve what they potray now. Thia 9ja local board wey everybody dey come dey creat thread almost everyday like this, I think na the effort and hardwork of some legendary wey them put for here, to take make here a better place today. some of the old members account dem ban am, because of Small mistake but now there mistake don be a form of correction for the newbies. So the old members here really suffer. So I think them deserve respec. We sopos learn from them, because them be buch of knowledge. No be say we go dey quote them anyhow, why we no no how the quote botton even come out.
