I'm afraid I have to disagree that the forum is getting worse and worse.
I still consider myself particularly new to the forum, as I only crossed the way with some historical members, and I have not lived the most glorious years with Satoshi, Hal and the other Bitcoin OG.

The forum is not a chat. All those users are still with us (o_e_l_e_o included), and the greatness of the forum is that we can continue with them, quoting, reposting, and cross-analyze to "interact" with their thoughts in this forum.

The vast majority of posts are only slightly above the mediocre level. Probably, but the point is the direction.
This forum is not just a place for discussion but an invaluable resource for spreading knowledge. We must recognise that this is the main goal; we must preserve this resource, not just for ourselves but for the future generations of Bitcoiners who will follow us.
Regardless of its immediate impact, every post contributes to the accumulation of knowledge in this forum. It's not about every post being remembered but about the knowledge stacking up, post after post, for the benefit of all.
