I recently logged in after several years away, seems like this place has really gone downhill. This is kinda sad. Half the Off-Topic are seems like one particular moderators personal rant area. I see a few seasoned members still around here that I recognize giving out sound advice, but what gives?
Off Topic has always been... well, off topic. And Political Discussions have always been political. The good advice is still here, and so is a fair amount of camaraderie.
