What about my second observation?

In this context, the subject of "continued success" is "JapanForum". As stated before, the pronoun "its" is used so "JapanForum" is not used a second time in the same sentence. This results in less confusion for the reader and a smoother reading experience.

Thanks! Now I think I understand what you meant.
This sentence means like this?
“Many people here help each other and that’s why this forum was made, and as we all know JapanForum is working very well.”

All the time, Yuri. Trying to type too fast, plain laziness, or assuming the reader knows the context of the sentence without accurate grammar are all reason why this kind of mistake continues to be made in English writing.

I see. These words sound the same, don’t they?
There are many Japanese words which have same pronunciation and different kanji. Many people make mistakes when they write kanji all the time.

*nods* Correct. "People in this forum" as the general subject, with emphasis on people like you (native Japanese individuals) who have a wealth of knowledge to share about the people and their culture.

So, the sentence means like this?
“Many people in JapanForum help each other and that’s why this forum was made, and as we all know we are doing very well here.”

I apologize if they appeared too formal and confusing. They certainly appeared that way to me after I read them a few times. I should have provided useful examples as well to increase understanding

There is no need to apologize.
Asking questions is very educational.

Have a great day, Yuri!

You too, Koir.
