Yeah HN of 2012ish timeframe was very different. Even Reddit didn’t seem nearly as popular. I think this goes for everything (not just forums), but the more popular a forum becomes the worse the content seems to get. I would like to say that the mods and community here have been unreasonably good at keeping up a level of quality that would likely have been long gone any place else.
