HOLY FUCKING SHIT, what is UP MY NIZZLE!
in any case, I agree with the above...well, all of it really, but this part is particularly poignant.
in addition to Nizzle's points, keep in mind that this site doesn't really revolve around anything...it doesn't appear to have a 'center' to me. perhaps over time politics became a center to me, but that's neither here nor there. I totally disagree that this is the only place where deep/stimulating conversations happen...what a load of bullshit and smugness. I'm a regular member of a shitload of boards...why? because they offer me something I enjoy...whether it be a forum on the types of audio gear I want, how to build my htpc, or rebuild my car. unless you somehow create a sense of distinct community, you'll probably continue to feel this drift...because there is no center you're having trouble pinpointing where the drift is occurring from.
and by community, I don't think amorphous community does it. it does for a small class of people, perhaps the ones nizzle is referring to. you see a center...a point to the forums...that most members do not. that's not to say they don't see value or any point to it, just that there does not seem to be an overarching theme or core value that ALL of your members subscribe to.

he can't because he's been here longer than the current post history shows.
and more importantly, he shouldn't have to. he already expressed his feelings on it, it's not something that needs to be proven.
