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

Hey, welcome back.

Considering the fact that you left the forum in 2022 (says your post history), and were around after the years when the merit system was introduced, you must have noticed that the spam was greatly reduced after the system was introduced, but of course, you can't end it completely. So yeah, you will find spam even now, but the forum itself is still pretty good; we still have very useful and knowledgeable users with us, which is proof that it isn't yet a complete sh*thole.

Click the ignore button or scroll past what you believe is a spammer and don't let them ruin your experience here.
Or, maybe even press the "report to moderator" button and contribute a little to reduce the spam.

So many people think it's not worth it, but it is. If 5,000 people report 1 post per day, we will get rid of 5,000 useless posts. Wouldn't that make a difference? Of course, it would.
