Yoyo, you hairy nicer.
I've been on here over 6 years now, and people have been complaining that it's shit ever since then.

Flaming newbies doesn't help, neither does a focus on mundane, everyday threads, rather than opportunities for debate/humour.

The main issue is that people start falling out of love with the place when the people who were around when they joined start to disappear. They find it more difficult to relate to the newer folks who perhaps are a bit more cliquey with others and they find that they aren't as revered as they once were.

Or they get a job/girlfriend/life.
