It's a message board. "It's gone to shit." So the fuck what. It's not like people live and work here.
You need to look at it from the rational angles. People were NEVER civil to one another here. It's just people back in the day would just be like "pff whatever" and go on with life instead of persisting and carrying the argument on until everyone was involved. 80% of these posts ARE on-topic, and if they aren't, again, who the fuck cares. This is a public forum for people with likewise interests to have conversations.
Now pretend you're Kevin Smith. Or next time you do, imagine this scenerio. It's 1999. You have two critically successful movies already out, one that nobody liked at first but everyone likes now, and you've finished a fourth one. The people coming to the board are, more or less, going to be fans of your WORK, thus they will have more to ask than R JAY N SLNT BOB CUMIN BACK?? I'm sure if Kevin Smith came here, often, he'd be bamboozled with bullshit like that. You think it's bad NOW? You thought it was bad before Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back came out? Wait until after Jersey Girl and J.Lo's pre-pubescent fans find their way to the website.
The ads aren't pop up, they don't slow the page loading, thus I have no problem with them. And some people here actually make USE of them. Wow!
Lynch is still pretty funny. It just seems to me that Lynch is at a point where several other things take precident over hitting up a webboard and amusing people, so whatever effort he WAS putting into it has been halved.
I haven't seen Vincent get bitter, but I haven't been watching closely. He just seems like he knows better than to get bitter.
And I haven't seen Malcolm around lately, so I dunno about him.
Point is, and this post was way too long, it's a fucking webboard, quit taking it so seriously.
