I don't notice much change. A year ago there were still flamebait threads, spamming threads, interesting threads, excellent threads and everything there's now. Some people have left forever, some people barely come anymore, but there are new people, some that started posting less than a year ago, and not for that they aren't cool people.

I mean, yeah, I miss some people, some posters that have left were funny, but that doesn't mean that some new that have come aren't as good, or that the quality of discussion isn't as good as before. Of course, you can always give an example of "man, this thread sucks", that has always happened and always will, you can't expect in a 50k community everyone to behave well, it always happens. What matters is that the community isn't getting any worse, nor is the content of the threads

Actually, the quality of the discussion isn't as good as before. There used to be deep analytical discussions but most of the people that participated either mellowed out or don't post anymore.

I have to agree - I barely ever look at the threads anymore, nothing here interests me.

Its also the redesign of the site - there is a much bigger focus on news, stories, (etc) - with everything accepting comments. The forum threads basically come last, and personally I don't have any time for them.

i agree with you, i don't like the focus on news, stories, reviews, because i read them elsewhere first. The forum threads aren't interesting either.

 

 



Wait, J-man weren't you just banned for trolling yourself?



man i should play uncharted 2



It's just because a lot of the people who used to post are leaving, and you don't like the new posters.

It's not like there's dime a dozen deep analytical threads now, but I doubt there were that many before. At least, not many I've seen to make a big contrast with today. I just know that there are a bunch of active users today that I can engage in a good conversation in the forums, that for me is enough




It's been more or less the same since I started lurking in late '07. There are a few new members who like to start a fire, though. And unfortunately, they are also frequent posters (when not banned).
