Has AO gone downhill?

I had this theory that I could make any word sound funny if I said it enought.

EDIT:

I saw a few people here with a certain phrase as their sigs. Here si where they got the quote:

Wait for about the second lines of the song.

What amazes me is not only that people keep coming back to complain about the site, but back in the day people got banned a dozen times and STILL came back to complain. Pretty hardcore complainers we've got keeping this place going, lol.

Well... somebody has to do it

I also vote for a new IRC, that is, if my opinion matters...

Downhill? really?... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year anyone..

Hell... I might as well chime in and get my share of complaining in ...

Honestly I lost interest in AO because I lost interest in computer security... I mean it's kind of like a broken record here... Even though a lot of you are saying AO is changing, if you look at the threads on the front page... Nothing has changed... nothing... Computer Security is really not that much of a 'dynamic' area of study (but I suppose that depends on the individual)... Everyone is still warning each other about the latest exploits and the latest security updates for software, cleaning trojans and doing basic tech support, etc. Yeah you don't have all those script kiddies coming in anymore but I think that's because "the hacker" has fallen out of the popular culture spectrum. When's the last time they made a movie about hackers? Better yet... when's the last time they made a good movie about hackers? And lets be honest, the majority of the REAL hackers/crackers have extreme social problems anyway....

Ok now I'm just rambling... I don't mean to insult the good citizens of AO, after all, I spent multiple years of my life here as well ... It's nice to see you guys again and I hope you all had a good christmas.

When I took over accounts, talked Neg into banning some bimbo, then hit a few AOer's blogs...
you'd figure people would either pickup more interest or stop calling it a security related website altogether.
