It's never too late to start a quality post.
No because the OP just registered their account here "June 01, 2020, 04:46:52 AM" and everything has just begun.
You only need to be active in this forum and get involved in discussions that already exist.
Among the many efforts that must be made by the OP, I agree that being an active member will help him achieve the expected goals i.e. "be a useful and contributing member".
For the OP, before you consider becoming a useful member of others, it would be better for you to think about how to be a useful member for yourself. Example:
- Forums have rules where each user must post things that are not considered spam, rubbish or anything that violates the rules. Then you should try to maximize your knowledge to find out how to post something quality so that you will get benefits because your posts will not be deleted and you will also be rewarded with merit.
This is only my opinion because I think the contribution starts when we can apply it to ourselves. You will also be considered a contributor even if you can only prevent yourself from posting spam and posting meaningless in forums. Obey the rules and carry out your interests, good luck.
