I'm member of this community since 2015. I know people like@Yo_Yo_Choti_Singh @DrKingSchultz and others since then. Nice to see this revival.
Hey,
I remember you 🙂
@IWRA I have already found the next IWRA here :) In two years you will see him in the ranklist just like you :)
Also found another@HAZE . So in about a year or so you will have another someone in Top 50 :)
And you will realise you are growing old :P
@Yo_Yo_Choti_Singh Still not found next yo_yo . The hunt is on :)
I was never that active, i only commented when I absolutely had to. You were quite active :) Very glad to see you. You give the impression of a mommy's chubby kid somehow. Are you one? :)@Nikita i remember you being quite active at discuss , nice to see you here
Haha, He is exactly as you said. I have met him.
I bet he would be blushing!

Haha,
Look, All the excitement that I have is usually to see people grow into what they *can* become.
So I am banking on the people around me :)
@Yo_Yo_Choti_Singh ??you are a gem.I too feel forum ke wo din wapas aane chaiye.... :)@Neyawn ek accha push dijiye...
I am all for it guys.
Rahi baat Yo_Yo_Sir ki, I want to clarify three-four things here.
#1 I never tried to use forum name, or my own to link it to any programs of forum, at least in the early days of forum - even when we started academy. Only about last year or so, I made concious disclosure about it. That is because we wanted to grow slowly.
#2 forum lost the charm not because of commercialisation BY ForumIAS, but because of commercialisation ON forumias,( i very secretly launched the programs of forum academy, which people in forum didnt even know about.) most of forum was full of advertisments and spamming by so many people ( which you can see on telegram now - all groups are full of spam, nothing else ) most people migrated to different websites much earlier, and this place was reduced to bakar. If i tried to push for mobile verification, people would make too much noise with too many profiles.
#2.5 personally i like building things from zero, so when migration happened to TG, i did nothing because if TG was a better solution, let people move to it. I decided to focus on the academy for a few years. also because of so many websites there was a flood of study material, which in the early days was created by a culture of co-operation and self help.
#3 we assumed that most people will understand that it is a good decision to keep academy and community separate. but people didnt think that way. they wanted support and discussion for academy here itself. it took us a long time to figure that if we dont allow such discussions here ( which in fact help promote the academy ), people develop more mistrust .@Zohanmukharjee and a few other people convinced me that there is no harm in having these discussions here.
#4 lastly, today, if we had not worked on the academy at the right time, we would not have had so many people from the "forumias ecosystem". Today, we can proudly say though the community has most people in the civils selected list, and the academy contributed to more than half the people who are from "forumias". i can see that right from yo yo , iwra jyoti , haze - all these people are also from the academy , and a lot of people were not so much from the community as they were from the academy.
#5 now that we see that TG is another distraction and not really meaningful ( as i had thought earlier), i will be focusing on this platform itself, and will keep it in a good condition with quality moderation and better conversations.
I have been on here since 2014(Discuss) as a silent spectator. Been working really hard to clear and probably with this attempt UPSC journey would come to an end.
@Neyawn's Posts is so encouraging and I owe it to you big time, brother! Especially the posts just before prelims.
@Yo_Yo your journey is inspirational brother! I derive strength from your journey.
Bas aur jyada likna nahi aata bas, Forum has helped a lot in many ways! dhanyawaad sabka, dil se!
Thanks! This means a lot. I left the forum way back sometime in 2016-2017 completely frustrated by the overall negativity. It has taken Herculean efforts t start afresh . Have never taken an easy route.
Hello "administrators" wanted 2 know 2 things
1.S it feasible tht with onslaught bashing of pvt sector in current mileu even benign concepts like "New Public Service" go into oblivion and u guys lubricating wheels of the new elephantine Leviathan with unbrindled powers?
2.If Taylorism(Kaizen included) s bad for obvious reasons,then can it b said tht all philosphies including Geeta or Protestantism r bad and extending the same human genesis basis itself s flawed??Dehumanisation s bound 2 occur there
Valid queries BUT Not a right place to discuss this. Make a new thread,tag us all we will come and discuss ! Make the thread broader so that more such queries can be tackled there !
We can have a Public Administration thread!
@ChipadBanda I think he is asking more like, why they are not here and not where they are 
Actually, they are older than the oldies here
