Seems to be a pattern with these forum (well, active forums in general)...
Great group of folks gather -> posts abound, Crap-posts low -> mods relax, enjoy buoyant sense of community -> posts begin to digress, tangents are made -> Lack of corrective action sees crap-posts on rise -> "The Troubles" ANARchY ENSueS! -> Armed gangs roam the threads crushing all those who stand against them -> The people cry out for salvation -> The Kevin ReturnS -> Standards reimposed... -> those who lusted, ruled, and gloried in the time of the troubles throw up their hands in disgust and set out on their own -> the community sorrows for those voices that are lost, but those who remain thump their chests - talking either of the glory of renewed standards or the loss of the good ol' days -> The community heals, new members join -> and... a Great group of folks gather.
Wow...that kinda sounds like a summary of Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire... When do the barbarian hordes of vapers invade?
