Lets get a couple of things straightened out here (speaking as a Customer not as a Staff member):
This site is not dieing in any way, shape or form as far as I can see - I've been here quite a bit longer than all of you negative and arguementative people so far in this thread, and I can tell you that I actually think that this site has progressed further than I ever thought possible 5 years ago...
Coders come and go, it's a part of life - Some good ones have gone, and some good ones are yet to come... Instead of moaning and bringing down the rest of the Community with you, be pro-active... Teach someone to code how you think it should be done... Or better yet, if you know so well how to be the perfect coder, why don't you take over development should it come to vB.org and perfect and maintain it?
As far as I understand it, it's not a case of "wanting", more a case of "legally being able to"...
Things aren't always as black and white as "right and wrong"... vBulletin.org is not the Judge or the Jury in a dispute like that, and the majority of the time not even the Executioner, so please, get your facts straight before you present them...
And finally; I wish The Geek and his family well

But this has nothing to do with being "negative" or "argumentative" like you claim. Where just stating a fact that this site is just not the same as it used to be, sorry if you don't like that! All because "YOU" claim thats not the case, doesn't mean your right and we're are all wrong. If you feel the site is still the same as it used to be, OK you think that!
Like others, I hardly come and post much these days unlike before. All I mainly do now is just read a few threads when I'm bored and post very little back to them. Mainly because I started to notice a while ago that very little help was forth coming to problems posted here when asking for help and advice. This was not the case a year or more ago. And was the reason why it was a better community back then which would entice you to make posts.
Sorry, but you kind of lose interest when you know your post are just going to fall on deaf ears all the time. Lately I've seen may questions posted by members, and they even bump their own threads to try and get replies. And weeks later they still have no replies. Open your eyes, if you cannot see this is a big reason for people losing interest here now something is seriously wrong. It's not rocket science!
