I originally signed up to buy/sell some stuff.... And then hung around
Now it is all about learning and helping others, looking at pretty pictures that I wish I'd taken myself.
There are so many aspect to this hobby, whether it be on the visual side or on the photographic side, or even both; it'll keep me going and learning for a life time. In the many years to come I would like to build my own telescope, don't know what yet but I've still got a long time to make that decision. Thinking of a long retirement project, so, maybe another 50 years to wait!
