This is totally IMHO, so please don't kill me, if you have different point of view.
Because, of my nature, if I have something to say, I'll say it without wrapping it in a candy paper....
First, the facts.
If you look at board's statistics, basically all numbers have been falling for a while.
It must be some reason for it.
As probably some of you noticed, I've been much less active on this board for a while.
One of the main reasons....I'm sick and tired of many, many topics, which started as computer problem question and by a second page, it already became a discussion about grandma's underwear.
It's totally unprofessional and I don't even see anyone trying to curb those trends.
I've also seen some rude replies and some others, where just because someone is a computer newbie, he/she becomes a target for jokes, or rudeness.
Secondly, since evilfantasy practically left, the malware forum looks like a joke.
There are couple of guys there, who try to do what they can and a whole bunch of other people, who keep posting replies there, but they have no single clue, what they're talking about.
Replying in malware forum is not a reading from a crystal ball, but a professional activity.
I've never seen any other forum, I'm familiar with, where anyone, aside from malware staff is allowed to post replies.
It's very irresponsible and often dangerous to allow people, who know nothing about malware, to reply there.
Just some thoughts....
