When this board shifted from the slow natural growth it had to merging forums for speedy growth was a double edged sword. As a community, I fucking loved the 10-15 tight members with the 30-40 active on the forum. We were all buddies, posts were relevant and the Skype was fun.

When it shifted into the more open community we have now, we're more like a general forum than the technology community we once where, which from an admin's point of view isn't the worst thing ever but from some casual it kinda sucked.

We'll weed out the asshats like we always do and eventually quality will pick up.

I can agree with this. While merging promoted massive growth on the forum, it slowly started rotting our user base with members that have not idea on how to make a half relevant post. I tried to contribute but all of my posts got buried in shit so I just gave up and took a break. I've come back now and it's better around here, but it's nowhere near how fun this forum used to be.
I plan on sticking around now and helping rebuild Sinister.ly, but this time around I'm going to be trying my hardest to get this forum back to how fun it used to be instead of fooling around.
