There was plenty of nef, probably about as much as there was now, but there was also more intelligent conversation and a better sense of community (could also view that as a greater sense of cliquishness depending on your viewpoint.)

If you don't believe me about intelligent conversation, search posts by Elledan, Athanasius, linuxboy, old posts by Moonbeam... Feel free to add to the list.

I haven't been around very long, but I can imagine that the forum would have lost certain qualities over time like that.
