What happens when we grow too big?

There's a few fairly "big" YouTuber's on these forums, @babyteeth4 is constantly growing bigger and bigger and has an astonishing amount of views so props to him, there's a couple more that I know of but I don't remember their usernames on the forums so I can't @ them.. One of them runs a channel about Hot Wheels and racing toys which is pretty cool and he has a pretty big channel too :)

I love coming here and talking to my fellow YTtalkers, I don't think a day passes when I don't check in at least a few times, and I don't see that ever changing! I don't respond to as many threads as I used to, but that doesn't have anything to do with the size of our channel, it's more because after being here for a while I start to see the same topics get recycled over again. I have met and collabbed with great people on this forum and I feel fortunate to have such a cool place to socialize with other content creators.

As for changing as we grow, I don't think I've changed too much, and I know fearless people like The Battery Chicken will take me down a peg if my head gets too big. One thing I don't want to be is a distraction, so while I am happy to answer questions, I like things to stay on topic, so I never want my presence to derail any threads. Aside from maybe one bad experience many months ago, everyone here has been very classy and respectful.

I derail threads, but they are usually the dumb ones
 
Sometimes it get old when you see yet another "What video editor do you use?" thread. The big YouTubers probably don't want to answer that over and over again. Forums also take time and everyone only has a finite amount of time.

...if I became a fairly big youtuber what would happen to me on YTtalk? Does it feel like you're Obi Wan Kenobi in the last fight scene of The Phantom Menace, where you're helplessly locked out of the action and can't get back in? Or is it more like you're Master Yoda and everyone worships you? (Except the mods, they're the sith lords ;))

I participate every day but I have no desire to be worshiped. As mentioned above, there are many repetitive topics so you won't usually see me participating in them. I'm looking more for industry news and opportunities.

Thank you for the input from your point of view! Until now everyone I had seen on these forum mostly had below 1000 subs, and I wasn't sure if the 'bigger' youtubers stuck around, but you've proved that you do![DOUBLEPOST=1423656751,1423656506][/DOUBLEPOST]Thank you all for the responses! As they say 'you learn something new everyday', so I guess I've learned two things! (bigger youtubers stay around, and @JeriKane has a large collection of chickflicks at her disposal)

Wait?! @JeriKane is a girl? Is this true? I'm very confused right now :confused:

Honestly, I worry that the main reason folks might stop being active on here if / when they "make" it will be because of how folks treat them. A bunch of "hey I saw you on the forums, mind giving me a shoutout?" might run people off.
