I don't know. I can see both sides, I guess.
To me, if I were to say, "The good old days" about vB.org, I would specifically be talking about back when I would check this site every day for new modifications to try out and have fun with. I haven't been that big of a poster, so discussion and topics were never a large part of my time here at .org. Modifications sort of died down drastically.. and my personal interest grew in other places of web development.. so "back in the day", I did have a lot more experience to learn and fun to have coming here.. I imagine that's what a handful of people share too.
But those "good old days" changed due to myself moving onto other areas, and really don't have anything to do with anybody else. I can only blame myself really, but I'm glad that I'm not that way anymore.
The sym
pathetic (emphasize on the 'pathetic') "I'm leaving" threads are, for a lack of better words, retarded. Members on my forum hate them, and they let it be known. There have only been a couple of people to do it though..
