I think you're rant is a bit off base. The problem with Lugnet isn't that the
attitudes or posting style of its user changed. The problem with Lugnet is that
Lugnet never changed.
When Lugnet first came out, it was one of the best Web based discussion forums

use some sort of "off the shelf" software, so they all have a similar "look and
feel" which is far better than the, now antiquated, "look and feel" of Lugnet.
