I don't know that we really need to change anything that dramatically. We've always had people coming in and saying that the forums, and the site in general, isn't what it used to be, and we just dismiss them.

The boards have always had a fairly dynamic membership. People come and go; some stick around for longer than others and form bonds with other posters, and then they leave and their friends miss them and start thinking less of the new people that come in, especially short-term posters with no real personality apart from some hilarious ebaum's pic.

And now that we've got more people coming to the boards with the comments system. Some will stay longterm, others will put a few trite remarks out there and leave after a few weeks. In the old days, we used to speed up this process by mocking crappy new people, but now, we have an ignore feature.

I just don't know what else we really need to do, apart from cracking down on crappy posters.
