If I am not wrong theymos mentioned multiple times that he replied to most of the PM sent by the newbies so obviously he will reply to anyone is there something to reply for.
Exactly. If you ask the guy a legitimate question or you have some valid concerns, he isn't going to let you hang out to dry. If there are problems or bugs on the forum, anyone can talk to him. You can even get a bounty if it's something important. But if it's not something urgent or it it's a topic he cares very little about, you will be ignored. I wonder what he does if someone PMs him and breaks some rules in the process? Does he just ignore the person or bans them from the forum immediately? 
Topic: How important are you on this forum? - page 2. (Read 708 times)
If I am not wrong theymos mentioned multiple times that he replied to most of the PM sent by the newbies so obviously he will reply to anyone is there something to reply for. But I am not a special person here so even if I am not existing here anymore then nobody cares so basically I learn from here and it helped me a lot to increase my knowledge about money.
I made this chart so everyone can better understand their significance to this forum.
I mean, its great if y'all want to contribute value to each other, but let's not get carried away here.
Hope this helps.

If I just disappeared tomorrow, I doubt there'd be much notice at all.
Well, maybe from those who're just joining this forum now but I doubt anyone from my days here will have a hard time forgetting you. You've been around here in reality and it's so far so good (from my assessment) because your prints have been felt. Do you know how many users here that are beneficiaries of your gesture? Quite a lot. However, I dare say you're as tough as you're soft. Those who've seen your soft side shouldn't wish to witness the tough side. Beyond all that, you're among users I consider highly useful here.As for me, I think OP's question to rate oneself will produce a biased result. Users should allow others rate them and I think that's what the annual community award we've here does.
The lion never felt great even though he was nicknamed the king.
Healthy will feel important when the body is lying in the hospital.
The rice tree will bow when it is full to be harvested.
Maybe those are some quotes that can be a reflection of us in interacting.
Here, in the Bitcointalk forum there are various different characters. Basically all have good intentions. I learned a lot from the different characters that everyone here has.

I see myself far from irreplaceable and wouldn't call myself essential or even important to the Bitcointalk way of life. I possess certain qualities, but they are nowhere close to what the top guns show here on a daily basis. Proper problem-solvers are the kind of people who would be sorely missed if they left. Everyone else is more or less replaceable.
I think that there are very rare cases where the leaving/disappearance of some members turned out to be a great loss for the forum. Those who are active in their local board probably have some value at that level, so that should be taken into account as well.
I wouldn't say that there are more than 15-20 important members, or what you call them top guns, whose leaving/disappearance would be felt, and I also don't consider myself important in the sense that someone would ask about me in case I disappear from the forum for some reason.

Don't look at theymos and the mods as entities from other dimensions. They are just regular folks and they post in discussions that interest them. In all my years here, I have never checked where theymos is mostly active, but I did it now. I am actually surprised that most of his posts are in Meta. I don't come across them that often unless it's something very important to Bitcointalk. I imagined theymos being more of a P&S kind of guy and even though he posts there, it's not as frequent as I though.

I dont know what question you posted but It must have been of the administrative purpose of the forum. It is nothing to boast about and I feel this should not be the reason you are here, To make yourself important or get response from forum administrator. I expect the forum to the first recipient of news coming in cryptocurrency. With the development of each state of cycle, the forum should have threads discussing the next building stages, marketing strategy and technical developments.
Importance is going to be a largely subjective quality. Everyone will have a different perception. The way one particular user perceives someone may vary wildly to how another user sees that same person. And the way we view ourselves may well differ to how others see us.
Perhaps the problem is the word "important". Some people may be taking different meanings for it. If something is important, then it generally needs to be there in order for things to work.
As such, I don't see myself as important. The forum would continue to function just fine if I wasn't around. Others users may appreciate my contributions and it's conceivable some people might miss me if I were gone. But, in my view, that's not the same as being important. And even if I had frequent replies from administrators and staff members, I still wouldn't see myself as more important than others.

There are many useful members on the forum who shares their knowledge and experience with others making their importance on the forum but it doesn't imply that they are the only one's that matter.This forum is sort of community and we all have the same value but our knowledge levels can be different and our reach determine how well we are known across the forum.
Speaking for myself then I have shown progress in past few months ranking up on the forum but only with positive approach of giving our best contribution to the forum leaving aside the fact I am important or not because you need to do something really helpful and useful for the community to be recognised.
Now as you say about @theymos and other high rank members giving you reply makes you important then I would say it's not like that as you see his last reply was in the technical section to a full member so is he more important on the forum then others?
This is just our way of thinking the facts and we all must do our best on the forum and treat it as equal opportunity we all have to grow with our learning ability and knowledge over time.

Everything in this forum, in my opinion, is important, from the person to the discussion as long as the direction is positive. No exception whether it's you, me, him and all of them are important people who have various advantages and disadvantages.
The advantages that are in you are not necessarily in me. Likewise, the advantages possessed by them are not necessarily with us. That is, we are here to complement each other.
But if our existence here is just to create something that is not beneficial to all, even breaking the established rules, I think such a person is nothing more than trash.

I understand the main goal of this topic because there’s a bunch of user here in the forum that make thousand of post per day. It’s very rare to have a reply to someone reputable like theymos and other legendary user because most of them discussed advanced topic on Bitcoin which simple user like me and most of us here can’t attain that level of Bitcoin knowledge. It’s really an honor if one of your post catch the eyes of this users because it means that you have insight that they like or interested to answer.
For me, I will say that everyone here is important because we are part of community. Community is composed of different types of people such as dumb, normal, clever and other personalities. This what makes the forum balance. Without dumb there will be no smart people and vice versa. We are important in our own different way.

I don't think it's about who you are, but it's what you put out in the forum. They would probably reply if it does make sense and not just spam posting anywhere. If it is about the conference and it's a very informative post that everyone would benefit from, then there's a high chance that theymos would reply.
This has just become a religious post or something, though.

In response to what the OP says, theymos is not known for responding much to posts. In my case he has responded in some thread of mine and also gave me some merit in another case.
Leaving theymos aside, I am happy with my performance on the forum. Without being in the top ten of best contributors by far, I think my contribution to the forum is clearly positive.
Regarding the rest of what the OP says, not much more to comment on from a person who says he can influence with his signature on the price of Bitcoin.
I am quite respectful of religious beliefs but the OP's thinking brings him closer to a pre-scientific magical world than to the world today.

Even non popular or important person could get a response from theymos or any global moderator if their post needed those guys attention or something to talk too.
Yes it quite rare for them to comment on users post since they dont need too. But if they necessary to speak as part of their role here for that topic I guess whether a newbie or a higher ranking users will expect one.
(Maybe I posted its my birthday theymos could greet me.. Or mayne not)

OP, I've looked at your trust, and you're the one who probably lacks recognition. Isn't it? What do you want to hear from users here? An outburst of vanity? For someone to recognize themselves as an important person?
The strongest people are usually quiet and modest, they do not need to shout and exaggerate their strength, which is not the case by looking at your trust.
First, a person must respect himself, namely respect, and not seem respected. People see sincerity, a desire to help someone disinterestedly, and it is because of this that a person becomes important, as you put it, or rather useful. But this should be talked about by people who consider him as such and not by himself.
I really hope this doesn't happen, but if it does, I'll hand over the baton to you.

Myself and the likes of Lovesmayfamilis would surely miss you and she will likely create a thread in reputation for you. She did it for Nutildah

So anyway, how important am I to bitcointalk?
"am" feels an odd thing to say exclusively, everything I've read here is something someone has written in the past (sometimes close to the past but other times a few years after - and based on the merit I've received before, others have read past/years ago versions of me every so often too).
On to the topic of this thread, I think a lot of people underestimate how valued they are generally and some don't want people to know - there's a lot to this forum that's more enigmatic than it might seem too...
Additionally, the good thing about this forum is there's a record of it (on multiple sites) - if someone important in any way leaves, the forum would be able to adapt to it, most people in the tech boards are able to learn from each other and it's easier when people explain things directly to you but not normally necessary.
Personally, I don't exaggerate such things. Theymos, all moderators and other famous members isjust humans, like you and me. But yeah, it's good that most of them is down to earth people and it's not impossible to reach them. Offcourse, when I was still new here,there was strange feeling when theymos or some other famous forum member replied to my post or interacted with me in other way. But now there is no such feeling.
To answer question that you asked in thread title - well, it's not for me to answer, I can't judge from my own perspective. But I doubt that many will notice if I will disappear one day - I'm just one of many forum member, not somehow exceptional. Maybe only some folks from our gambling community would notice it.

See everyone on the forum to be important because your post is meaninglessness if there is noe to learn from it. So everyone is import because we all are aiming towards one goal though from different phases of life.
A lot of you know that I've offered (and still offer) post reviews on a monthly basis to any member of the community under Legendary rank and without enough merits to reach that rank already. I always say just send me a PM requesting a post history review, and I'll be more than happy to do it.
..I'm something other than a regular guy who treats newer members just like peers (assuming they're not scamming/spamming/account-selling jackasses or idiots who want red trust removed when there's no basis to do so).
Again, you scored high here. Your charisma and audacity projects you as a demi-god to people who haven't approached you or who has intentions to cheat or scam. But any newbie who has the opportunity to interact with you personally will attest that you treat newer members like peers and always willing to help newbies grow by advicing and handing out merits to deserving posts.So anyway, how important am I to bitcointalk?... If I just disappeared tomorrow, I doubt there'd be much notice at all.
If you disappear tomorrow, bitcointalk might forget you, but there are individuals who will not forget you for goodness or maybe otherwise. But then, when you disappear, your case would exactly be like that of Lauda and Vod. I didn't meet them but I heard much about them. So, next-generation would remember you. Myself and the likes of Lovesmayfamilis would surely miss you and she will likely create a thread in reputation for you. She did it for Nutildah Jump to:
