yea, smeagols advent was the big turning point...

just kidding... it's just the recent weeks that I thought parts of this forum have gone wild. There are so many posts, a high number of them rather spammy in nature (is that a word? "spammy", sounds cute, maybe I write that down for later use) I can hardly keep up reading. Maybe the karma thing brought some unrest, too. And, hmm, the age plays a part, I guess.
The golden age (which didn't stop when smeagol arrived) as I refer to it had this incredible balance between highly philisophical substantial posts and that exhilarating insanity.
I'm not completely dissatisfied with the current state of the forums and don't start to sing summer of 69 or something, just my opinion.
...I hereby declare the advent of the bronze age! Someone should keep a forum chronicle...
