How has Mac Forums gone Downhill? You saying the users here don't know what they are talking about? I spend hours helping people here and so do many other users here.

not at all, many users here are helpful and intelligent, when I said it was going downhill, the more I look at it and try to visit and help, it seems the forum has gotten away from it's original purpose of helping mac users and is more about idle chit chat. I didn't mean any offense.

I'm pretty sure the original purpose has always been idle chit chat... but maybe that's just me :)

Oh yeah... I guess we do get kinda dull and boring with idle chit chat... I guess its because our search feature is so easy to use... or people answer all the questions in a post or two, we have a lot more free time to socialize... But thats why we have "anything goes" forum so we don't have to talk about macs all the time.. who honestly wants to do that?

The only real just chat like that is usually in Anything goes. A good forums will have both, people talking and people helping. At least to me anyway!

Not trying to come down on you, it's just your post kind of made me wonder what you meant.

Use Colloquy and you shouldn't have a problem.
