As for your other points about most new posts being boring, you're absolutely right! I cannot argue against that. However, there's still some interesting stuff going on in a few areas of the forum, with genuine conversation, and I appreciate the camaraderie I've developed with several people here over the years.

Yeah I agree with you. Although there are spams all over the forum, there are still some quality posts out there but sometimes they are burried deep in spam. Most old posts are very interesting and intriguing I basically spend more time reading very old posts than posting and you not only learn a lot from them you also get to understand the forum better.

In the almost 4 years which have passed, has the forum made any real progress fixing the painfully obvious issues? My original post didn't mention "virtually forcing" paid sigs to make long posts (100++ characters) **Doesn't really help** Instead, it creates endless blocks of boring text which is made longer to simply get to enough characters.

Sometimes people have different posting styles some explain in detail (though some spam) and some just drop bullet points like vapourminer and disappear...
