Being a new member, I don’t know what it was like years ago.
But I do know my first impressions: this forum is exactly what the architects, moderators and site administrators want it to be. The reason why the volume of ‘grey’s are evil’; ‘incoming, congrats, congrats....’; ‘my AD won’t sell to me’, and ‘this city is unsafe’ type of threads are so prevalent is because they let it be that way. For example, they could easily create sub-forums for each of those ‘topics’ and allow those threads to be sorted into their respective sub-forums.
They choose not to build that functionality and controls, so the forum is what it is.
I catch myself wishing there was sub-forums for each line of Rolex watch. I own a DD and a DJ. It would be nice for each of those to have it’s own sub-forum. Let the DD or DJ owners have a place to share knowledge without being swamped by SS sub threads.
I still like it, but it does force you to hunt for what you like. And I’m still learning the site, so maybe some of this already exists.
