People are too fickle. It wasn't even 2 days ago now that I was responding to a thread where it was being claimed this forum has gone down hill do to over-moderation. Now Im finding myself responding to a thread claiming its going downhill due to under-moderation.
As for the complaints in THIS thread, you've been gone a while jtomsic, so maybe you just dont realize, but we do have rules against the things you are complaining about. IN every section on this site EXCEPT the thunderdome, we have rules about not harassing other members, not deviating off topic, thread dumping, etc. If someone sees this happening, hit the report post button. Action will be taken. Goob, and the mods here, have been working at 'cleaning up' the tech and classified sections for a while, if you haven't seen an improvement, its because you aren't paying attention.
Ive been here as long, or longer, than anyone in this thread (and most people on the site). A lot has changed over the years, but one thing that has remained consistent literally since the day I signed up for this site, is the claims that the forum is dying. The 'good old days' that are usually referred to in these threads, I was here for all those days.... and people still complained bitterly and suggested the site was dying back then.
