There is a newer crowd that's here now that drove off some really good posters and a lot of us just don't post much anymore.

I don't agree with the OP all that much. If players, fans, families, etc., can't take some random anonymous opinions with a grain of salt, then they need to stay off SM. Should it be that way all the time? No. But that's the SM world we live in. The loud few always seem to get more attention than the normal many.
