The board are what you make of them.

By that I mean, not just here by forums in general, including non-adult. Most forums are filled with drama, and whining and bickering back and forth. All seem to have some degree of posters from CNN or Fox News to stir the pot. I think the main difference now is, you have 90% bullshit and 10% gems. You simply have to search for them more than before.

Most seem to admit to at least reading GFY if they no longer post here, or on forums. Often times people simply reach out to you on PM/IM when they see a post or something of interest versus going back and forth in a thread for a week with fragment sentences.

I would much rather jump on a 15-30 minute phone call to kick ideas back and forth, or discuss whatever topic at hand for the query, versus bickering and bullshit on forums for a week. Forums have their use and value, depending on your end goal. I simply think most people's priorities have changed on how they use the forums in general.
