We were better because we were us and no matter who comes or what happens we done it first and we done it better. I think it's that really summed up. We done it so much better first time round in fact the first million times round now when we see the same old thread ideas/titles being thrown out there we just yawn and click back to index because we can't be bothered with it these days. We're victims of our own greatness. Also I think why we can't come up with great stuff anymore has something to do with the fact that maybe, just maybe we weren't as great as the rose tinted lenses we like to wear make us believe. Perhaps we were only on a common level with our newer members, perhaps we were even worse but pride and arrogance as always have their place in our society and to even contemplate this line of thought for more than the space it takes to type it out and immediately dismiss it with the famous words of; "Nah, who am I kidding, we were amazing back then" is heresy.
