2010 Had some pretty good users, myself included. I think that the reason you haven't seen any good 2011 users is because we are fairly early into the year. A lot of posters join for a particular thread, don't post for a while, and then get into more of a rhythm of posting regularly.
I know I joined in February and posted about twice a week. I stopped posting when VGC 3.0 formed. Then I started posting again when E3 came along. This is when I started seeing some interesting people, posted more frequently, and matured as a poster. All I gotta say is give it time and we'll see some better 2011 posters. Some of them haven't matured yet and some haven't started posting regularly yet.
I agree with the people saying that it was better back in the day. Any community has a limit on the number of users before the quality discussions, debates, etc decreases.
