Doesn't the forum seem more...decent?...these days?

Seems to me that people are pretty much getting along, there are some good posts being made, advice being shared, etc and that a lot of the bullshit we've seen in the past is at a low right now.

Or is that just my perspective?

I haven't been around too long, but also gotta take exception to that one. Remember winter beater cars? Or the pirate anti Finnish thread? Was it worse in the past?
Here is a little gift for the haters.

People are soo uneducated about cars its insane.

They pay a shop x amount of dollars and they have a fast car and they think they can beat anything on the road.

I know for me anyway, a lot of the times I don't even bother looking at the threads that I know are going to be a flame war. I also stay out of the lounge.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Thanks for the vote of confidence bajaman... I think that the users are ultimately what makes the forum and thankfully we have some of the best ones here.

As for the staff, we've added a number of what I think are very "liberal" mods in the last year. I hope that has helped bridge the gap between the users and the staff. I know many of us have sought to bring a "friendlier" forum to the masses.

We have more "assigned" roles within the team to address issues, so hopefully less is falling through the cracks, although with thousands of posts a day the users are still our primary eyes and ears.

Culture change is something that doesn't happen overnight, you have to work at it one day at a time.
