^^ Mostly sums it up. I keep coming back LOOKING for a reason to stay, LOOKING for a reason to spend the money and support this. It's NOT a lot of money, but the quality of discussion has pretty much hit the sh!tter. Thus far, I just can't justify it. The forums are dieing a slow death, the thread topic quality has significantly degraded, both in content AND in quantity- especially over the last month or so. A majority of the old school, long time members are either gone or leaving. Snowest is not what it used to be, and likely will never be again.
That being said, I'm still on the fence. I keep coming back HOPING things will be the way they were, yet they are not. I've spent a lot of time lurking, reading, learning, and helping. I've met a lot of people and had a great time on these forums. I wish it would be the same old forums, sadly enough, I don't see them ever going back to they way they were.
I'm still looking for that ray of light, that reason to stay but just haven't found it....yet.
