I see fewer and fewer users who contribute to discussions and create interesting threads. At the same time, we seem to have more and more users who post for the sake of posting and CAN'T even be bothered to use decent spelling and punctuation. This is an adult site concerning sales figures, not a sports thread on 4chan. And frankly, while sales should be the central focus, great threads can emerge from any topic. People on this site reminisce about the old days between we used to actually be able to have meaningful discussions about both games and issues. Now, a lot of threads seem downright lazy.

There was also a greater sense of community in 2007, 2008, and 2009 to some respect. And believe it or not, it was accomplished without Facebook-style walls and notifications. We just talked and discussed interests.


Agreed. The quality of the average post has taken a severe tumble the last year or so. Too many one word posts, blatant trolling and long-winded material with grammar and spelling from hell. Of course, one can still get a point across even if the writing isn't on par with a novelist but it kind of detracts from the whole impression of a serious post and the problem is worsened if the point itself is also moot...

I miss the old days but it is what it is and there isn't much else to do about it than stay put and do your best to light up the forums with intelligible posts and some overall effort to maintain a certain level in the least.
