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.
