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.

In addition, most members comfortably don't contribute to the forum because they know the forum is doing just well without them. The knowledge they've impacted in the forum is yielding great results as many forum members have learned from the grassroots to a greater length of Bitcoin knowledge. Aside from the forum, most bitcoin developers like "Gavin Andresen" don't add codes to bitcoin anymore nor does he share posts here anymore. When asked he said something similar and mentioned he had to move on for the young coders to continue. Besides he has a soft spot for shiny new ideas. Below is a screenshot of his response.
Priorities changes and people find fun in trying new ideas.
