Long live language journal websites

I used to be a user at Lang-8. I was really glad when I discovered that website because my favourite part of learning new languages has always been writing. Even though I tend to be quite forgetful about writing regularly, it always gives me a sensation of accomplishment when I see all those words written in a language different form my mother tongue.
I began learning English when I was very young, around 6 or 7 years old in primary school as a mandatory subject, but I only started to make real progress after I entered college and began to write journals. So, when I found a site where I could post something journal-like AND get native speakers to correct my entries, it was wonderful! I got really sad when the site shut off the subscriptions and the community started to slowly vanish. They offered a new product, but it didn't fell the same.
So I'm really glad I found this new site. I hope the community grows large and strong, and I hope I remember to write entries regularly. I'm really looking forward to this new experience!

I hope the community grows large and strong, and I hopeattracts many members. I also hope that I remember to write entries regularly.

By 'grows large and strong', do you just mean you hope many people become members? If not, what do you mean?

What you've written is grammatically correct. However I don't think it is necessary to qualify your first statement so much. You say 'I tend to be' instead of 'I am', 'quite forgetful' instead of 'forgetful', and 'writing regularly' instead of just 'writing'. You can convey the meaning equally well by just saying you often forget to write. Also, you should say 'when I do [write]', because otherwise it's not clear which words you're seeing -- maybe those of other journal writers?

Your sentence is confusing because you're throwing so much information into it. I would split it up, and there are many ways to do that. I like semi-colons and dashes, so I might do what I've shown.
