I’m a member of this wonderful community for almost 5 years now.
At first because I was clueless about home automation and as you can see from my profile, I needed a lot of help… (and still do now and then) 
Not only did I ask, I also got answers from very patient volunteers.
YES, volunteers!
Users like you and I who donate their free time by helping others (us).
Luckily, most of the time that help is appreciated by the majority of users who need help.
Over time I started trying to pay forward because I noticed that the numbers of newcomers were growing and to support the mods, I thought this was the best thing to keep this community thriving.
As the possibilities (and the number of new users) of HA keeps growing with every release, there seem to be more requests for help and luckily there are users who, just like me, are pitching in.
With this post, I want to say: thank you to the mods and admins! 
Also, by browsing the forum regularly one gets to know other users who share their knowledge: kudos to them too! 
I really hope that positivity will continue to prevail!
Have a nice WE everyone.
