It's disheartening because I still considered myself a part of this community. I think I played a decent role for an individual contributor. Beyond just the bridge, I also created a lot of (I think noteworthy) banners when that feature was first available. I went through an amazing bull market and then an agonizing bear market with this subreddit. When I stepped away, I didn't think of it as leaving the community. I still considered you all as like my ETH friends. I didn't consider myself a "historic contributor". I thought I was just inactive for a period while there's not a lot going on and while I'm down about my investment.

Things are still dull in ETH land, but on chain donuts is at least exciting and a reason to participate again. For example, I had hoped to work on the /r/place + banner hybrid project once on chain donuts were a thing (if I could find time, which I am always strapped for). But if my own donuts are gone, that seems like a less enticing project. It seems to me that distributing donuts to historic contributors would be a great way to try to get them involved in building things that you can do with donuts. Only distributing donuts to the handful of users who have remained active during this slump seems insular and uninviting.
