I'm the complete opposite. I've been coming here primarily for business since the board opened in, umm, I think it was 2001. I mostly just skim past anything non-business as I find it more of a hindrance to productivity to me. Boards, by their very nature, can be quite distracting to productivity (for me). It's easy to get sidetracked and follow drama and that sort of thing. So I just come here, check for business stuff quickly, then go get my work done, log off and go enjoy life, usually with my family.
I'm not saying the personas are a bad thing or not entertaining. I'm just saying that for me, it helps me quickly identify those I want to initiate business discussions with and those I'm likely to overlook.
Granted, there are far fewer business threads here than there's ever been, but there's also other boards more focused on business so it all works out in the end anyway. There's certainly still business to be had on GFY, no question about it. I just don't spend much time looking for it here any more.
