Once upon a time we were the best. We knew our shit, had interesting discussions and encouraged creative works.
Then the furries drove away the creatives, and after the furries were driven into hiding we were left with just a bunch of angry nofunallowed competits who only made metagame-related threads. But we were still the best, if only because at least we knew our shit. But being the best by virtue of sucking the least is hardly worth celebrating.
And over time as BW, BW2 and XY were announced, Plebbit karma whores stole our every minor scoop and made our existence known to the mainstream, bringing in unprecedented numbers of scrubs who didn't bother assimilating into the board culture.
It is the nature of good things that they draw in bad people and will much more easily worsen than improve. If we are still the best today, it is by a miniscule margin, created by a small minority of fans deserving better, but with no other place to go.
