I've also noticed, in my short time here, a change in quality of posts and members.
I'm no golden apple, but I like to think I'm at least contributing positively, whether it be in jest at times or more seriously.
Basically, the way I see it, leaving this site, because 'it's not how it used to be', is comparable to people leaving a country hoping the grass
is greener some place else. We know the issues here, we know how to deal with them and we know how good things can be.
When the good, those with a wealth of information, those with positive, stimulating direction, choose to leave this site, what remains? Only a larger,
ever growing community, left more in the dark than the light the came for.
And those who only came for their own ego's and boasts, don't seem to stick around too long anyway... they come and go. Basically, like attracts
like and I truley believe that those seasoned members here who stick it out will see this site swing round.
I'm trying to think of an analogy here (it's what I do
) but failing
It's like people realized long ago that there is a great pervading energy through the universe, then these dudes came along and decided 'hey, THIS
is how you're supposed to use this energy!!' and more dudes decided there were other ways, more ways to use this energy.... eventually, after
fighting amongst eachother they realized, 'hey, this is the same energy! S#!% balls, we're all here, together! Using the same energy!!'
well, that's my retarded attempt
oh well, you win some...
