Don't you think thread quality is going down?

It's been like this all the time, but what really makes me sad now that I'm back is that there aren't any more great conversations. Is always a few replies and that's it. Nothing funny and no one ever quotes you posts or anything. And what happened to the good g33ke threads? Now a days most people on the forums probably don't even know who g33ke is. And one of the worst parts is how someone posts a thread and the fist reply is something mean about how useless it is. As long as the post isn't really a stupid thing, don't say anything.

Threads were never high quality. Never ever ever. Lately mine have been high quality, but those things are damn novels. Novels take a long time to write.

Here are my old threads:
http://www.minecraftsurvivalgames.com/threads/us12-sudden-crash.270/
http://www.minecraftsurvivalgames.com/threads/i-hate-myself.295/
http://www.minecraftsurvivalgames.com/threads/a-7-person-team.978/
http://www.minecraftsurvivalgames.com/threads/sore-losers.1553/

After a certain amount of time, a user starts to get the hang of topics and will make more detailed threads. However, whenever people such as me or anyone else who creates a lengthy yet detailed thread, we get idiots who post:

"TL;DR"
"Didnt read, sounds cool though"
"Please make a TL;DR"

It's the reason I don't make that many threads. The threads get flooded with TL;DR's.

The forums, though still entertaining, have talked about most of what is to be talked about. People find the need to find other things to talk about, even if it doesn't make sense. A lot of threads are reletively pointless, or points have already been made that don't need to made again (and yet they still are because people don't got time fo' dat).

The forums are still interesting, but there just aren't as many opportunities for conversation as there used to be, they're all burnt up, but you can still have very nice conversations on Off Topic or whatever other section you please. It's not bad, just a low point. There'll be more to talk about eventually.

No. We had a long run of, "Who are the top 5 PvP'ers!" Type threads, but now we're getting really interesting debates about the nature of god and religion, views on radical feminism, and much more.

Thank you @pixel
Other than Pixel's threads, I still believe that the quality of discussion on the forums has gone down majorly.

Repeated threads, boring thread subjects, threads that aren't needed in the first place, etc. Out of like 25 new threads I read on the forums a day, I'd say like 3 are worthwhile for discussion.

I think that the forums are doing fine. So there's some threads that don't NEED to be on here, but it's not like it ruins the forums.
