The title of the forum is "Eyes on Each Other." Therefore, the general flow of the threads will follow the ideas of the majority of the members (the ones that go into EoEO, anyway). Way back when, when EoEO was a "good place," as you called it, it was a smaller board and we genuinely had more interest in each other. I would also consider the maturity level higher. The maturity/interest level has fallen, therefore the quality of threads has fallen. The staff can't close serious threads because they don't like them. As long as they're within the rules, the members are free to discuss whatever they want to seriously.
So yeah. "If you don't like it, don't read it." For the most part, that's my decision.
