Over the last 10 years I think things have definitely calmed down here.  I remember back when huge site-changing decisions triggered major forum upset and "what is art" came up at least once a week.  Now the threads contain more poser issues and the transition to allowing OT posts has found it's niche. 

I do have to say I love this excuse:  "Drunk posting. User loses posting privileges for 1 day."  :)
