Who remembers those days? Everything moved so fast, it was almost impossible to make a point or get a word in edgewise. That's kinda like all of Bnet now. It's a complete cluster with so much change that we can barely keep up.
Are you discouraged by how fast the forums are moving? Can anyone possibly muster a way to make everyone "heard" again. This is going to be very discouraging and confusing to new members.

It's probably more difficult to get into the swing of things, but once you start using hashtags and followed members, it should be far less confusing you won't be inundated with terrible posts.
