What would even classify you as a "core" member anyway?

An established part of the community or history.

So popular members pre-2012 overhaul?

Spoiler

Decimator Omega, now known as Explosion Imminent, publicly known as Armen, I think we need to address your issues.  You clearly have a problem with people on forums, and it stretches beyond your autism (I apologize for your condition by the way, it is an extremely unfortunate thing to happen to a bright young man such as yourself.)  I think you may have a disorder known as Internet Addiction Disorder.

Quote

Internet addiction disorder (IAD), now more commonly called problematic Internet use (PIU)[1] or compulsive Internet use (CIU).[2] Other overlapping terms include Internet overuse, problematic computer use or pathological computer use – and even iDisorder.[3] These terms avoid the word addiction and are not limited to any single cause, but only reflect a general statement about excessive computer use that interferes with daily life.[4]

IAD was originally proposed as a disorder in a satirical hoax by Ivan Goldberg, M.D., in 1995,[5] though some later researchers have taken his essay seriously. He took pathological gambling as diagnosed by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) as his model for the description of IAD.[6] IAD receives coverage in the press, and possible future classification as a psychological disorder continues to be debated and researched in the psychiatric community.[7] A systematic review of PIU identified a lack of standardization of the conceptualization of PIU as a major impediment to advancing this area of study.[8]

Other habits such as reading, playing computer games, or watching very large numbers of Internet videos or movies are all troubling only to the extent that these activities interfere with normal life. IAD is often divided into subtypes by activity, such as excessive, overwhelming, or inappropriate Internet pornography use, gaming, online social networking, blogging, email,[9] or Internet shopping (shopping addiction).[10] Opponents note that compulsive behaviors may not themselves be addictive.[11]

Internet addiction is a subset of a broader "technology addiction". Obsession with technology started with radio in the 1930s and with television in the 1960s, but has recently exploded in importance during the current digital age.[3] A study published in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking (2014) suggests that prevalence of Internet addiction varies considerably between countries and is inversely related to quality of life.

I think you may need to cease your internet activity, or at the very least start a consistent process of slowly weaning yourself away from your computer.  I know a good therapist that can help you, he even allows Skype conferences if you cannot make it to his office.

Please, Decimator Omega, now known as Explosion Imminent, I want to help you.  But you have to push yourself as well, my friend and I cannot do this alone.  We need you to commit with us.  Please PM me for information.

God speed.

Most likely, yeah.

None of the core members are here, and no people like SecondClass don't count.
