The new generation of Sharders

[IcedOutPenguin He/Him]

Im just curious what your opinions are about this, but I believe that a new generation of sharders has come online/active in the past three months (basically November 2024) and has helped replenish the numbers of many people who have been going offline for periods of time. I hesitate to call myself part of the "New generation," but if I am, then I am one of the spearheaders of this new generation. 

Most notable new generation sharders:

@सत्य हेर्ने, my goodness, it is impossible to ping you.

@dezaS

@Βοηθήστε is a similar boat as truthwatcher. It's hard to ping you!

I might have forgotten many people.

What is your opinion (and does anyone know how to ping either of the two above)

Hmm… do I constitute part of this new generation? I joined a while ago but only really began interacting recently.

You joined in November 2024, you're pretty new!

I have been here for like 4 years! (I was inactive for the first 2ish)

What is your opinion

There's generally a influx of new people/names every book release (and all year of the Secret Projects), and it's always good to see new names and (virtually) meet new people

And, while it's not specific to this batch of new Sharders, if there was one thing I would hope to pass on all new Sharders, its:

Spoiler

Look around, get familiar, read descriptions (and especially the Policies) before you start posting too heavily.

Essentially, be a good online citizen rather than making mistakes until people call you out or have to report to the mods to fix things - they are busy enough as it is.

I'm sorry if that sounds unsociable; but, for example, one new person posted three threads in three wrong forums in less than a week (including duplicating the exact same mistake the day after they were gently corrected by Taln (Spoilers in a Thread title)).

Also, my normal request to please consider checking out the Sharder FAQ for some useful forum info and tips.

I find this to be interesting as a sharder of this generation who joined an aging rp subforum right before they started a large advertising project.

Additionally I wonder what the traits of this generation are, especially since this has been an era with a dramatic increase in cosmere connectivity, and due to that, more reading order complexity and debate
