I've only been around 6 or 7 years or so, so maybe my perspective is limited.

But lately, this place has been weirder than I can remember.

Go Royals!

There was a widespread multi-poster breakdown in sanity and a great melting of feeble-minded here on the day President Obama was inaugurated for his second term.

Don't remember that, Chaz. All I remember is great pride in America.

But to answer the question, oh hell yes! Remember before sign in? The Wild West of the first few years after the turn of he century? Well, '03, '04?

Always a mix of weirdness and greatness and beauty and everything else comprising the spectrum of humanity. You find what you're looking for :)

Edit: and if you don't find it, be the change you want to see.

Supertopo's demise is foretold once or twice a year, usually in winter and especially during election seasons. People come and go, sometimes with hissy fits sometimes without. Maybe it's all different this time but maybe not.

Tru nuff, but it sure seems like there've been a greater number of expulsions, deletions, deactivations, etc. than recent years. Seems like more than a bad case of SAD.

Mebbie. I think it's just that more people use the forum than several years ago, meaning more nut cases, adults who can't handle themselves online, drama queens, etc.
