Most of the good coders did not like the idea when the site decided to introduce the "paid script service", they where mostly against this idea and decided they would not support hacks for free here anymore. Some where for the idea, but only because they saw this as an opertunity to stop offering help for free and instead charge people. Either way, it was a negative thing for getting free help here after that service was put in place.

Most of the "good coders" I know build websites for people these days. Most of them don't have their own business, they just write code when requested assuming they're working for themselves.

What's happened to this community is there aren't enough teachers. There are too many new customers signing up here daily and there is no way we could teach them all the tricks of the trade. There is also the issue of people that simply don't want to learn but love to argue about things they don't fully understand.
