Is it worth coming back?
How's the spam been? The forum basically became virtually unusable at a certain point. The noise to signal ratio was 100:1 at best.
Also, remember that 'new forum' that was supposed to happen? Lol, did that idea die again? It can't be that hard to develop a forum

I didn't meet the forum when it had uncontrolable spam. But I have heard of it severally and it seems the apex of that spam attack was 2018 and I heard that so many old users left the forum because of the spam.
You can return now, because the merit system has solved that problem, but I am also sorry to announce to you that another type of spam is here - The AI spam

For the epoch forum, the idea has been dropped because it was on the verge to cost $5M to be developed.
