Can you only stay here if you buy patterns?

Hi everyone,
I know this platform is all about selling patterns. But here’s the thing:
I don’t want to buy any patterns right now because I still have a lot of knitting, crocheting, and sewing projects here that I’ve started and want to finish first.
It’s nice to look at the pretty pictures of the patterns on Facebook, but since I don’t want to buy any patterns right now, I’m more interested in connecting with like-minded people. I hope it’s okay to stay here even if I don’t want to buy anything at the moment—or is this forum only open to people who buy patterns (regularly)?

No, I don’t think so. As far as I understand, the forum is open to anyone who wants to say something or ask questions.
It would be news to me that you’re only allowed to participate here if you’ve bought a pattern first.

Hi, the forum is open to everyone.
