I remember sites like Web Hosting Talk, Sitepoint and vBulletin.org having quite a few of these topics for example...

Anyone agree those are annoying, drama attracting topics?

What's so annoying about it? generally, the thread starters in these cases are veteran members of boards and when they see a board take a turn for the worse they (or atleast I personally think) they are entitled to voice their opions and reminisce about the good ole days. What harm is it doing to you exactly?

It's all to easy for say "you" and me (generally speaking) a new member starting a thread complaining about members who create topics that reminisce about days gone past. Observing this thread, Your thread you created isn't so far off from the type of thread that chaps your ass.

So, yeah, I don't agree with you and yes I agree this is more of a drama queen topic than "the good ole days type thread"
