i can't be bothered reading through 6 pages as i am lazy, so i shall say this then leave - i've been on this site for about 3 years, and active on the forums to an extent for most of them. and you have nooooooooooooo idea how many people complain about how the quality has deterierated over the years. so, if people were complaining about how it had deterierated around the time that you were saying it was better at, then pretty much we have two possibilities. possibility one is that these forums started off amazing, and in their four year history have got completly -expletive-, or that your looking about through rose-tinted spectakles. personally, i'd go for the latter - remember the big fuss about people asking for recs? or that big melons person? or (and this is reeeeeeeeeeeeally nostalgia) tuco? and sintubin (i think i've spelled that wrong...the first person over 2000. which, coincedentally, was what caused the outburst...) and schilemann having an argument about sintubin using a computer? (they were the top two players on this site at the time, they weren't just two randoms...). or the witch-huntings of not too long ago? i think i'll stop there as i'm about to have to switch computer labs (there's an IT lecture in here next. i'm not sitting through an IT lecture. they suck. i had to once. i had an assignment for that evening. i had to sit through a lecture about "how to purchase a computer". generally, i would just ask my friend who knows about that sorta stuff. or build my own. or get my dad's company to get me one, and get them to pay the VAT...(i got a £800 laptop for about £650. i wasn't complaining...😉)
anyway - these forums haven't changed that much, and this thread is evidence for that 🙂

i think those who think the forums used to be so much better should stop posting in rubbish new threads and start reviving the golden oldies.
