Going back through old threads, I found that the Baghwan's contributions to be really inspiring. He was forever coming up with great insights even though he copped some unwarranted flack. The years up to 2011 were full of great contributions by many still serving forumites. I guess you have seen it all by now, turning every possible chance of an edge inside out many times over.
I recommend any novice forumite to backtrack through old threads, it's worth it's weight in Gold!
It would be inspiring to hear some accounts of how some of you longstanding forum members have benefited personally from your experience of this forum, if at all? MG, UB, CP to name a few.
