I like Threads from 4-6 years ago. It seems there were a better combination of people posting. Many Technical questions were not treated like " Not Again" and answered by several Operators/ knowledgable people.
The "Spirited discussions" were better too with a lot of bickering and drama, which is fun.
Now people feel like they have to ignore or drain since their eyes burn when they see a little conflict.
Notice a lot of Pinside personalities from that period are gone. Wonder what another year will bring.
