Precisely! Plus, it's always easier to start topics or reply ro topics which you're very interested in and passionate about. For eg, if you love web design, you'll find it easy to talk about HTML, PHP, etc. And get the hosting credits.
Sometimes I find it difficult to post quality topics and replies. Many times, I find that I can't answer other people's questions or that I can't think of any questions that could be answered here.
Really, the categories that I'm most interested in, tend to be a little slow or frequently spammed.

I would suggest that you attempt to offer a little more substance to your posts.
