This forum has turned into a social site "aka community" where people who don't even own or use the equipment we are supposed to talk about here come to talk about everything but old macs. The mods take ages to do anything about the few problem posters, few people get banned unless they are a pain for years it seems. If you allow and encourage disruptive behavior (as one particular mod did) you will get more of it.

This forum didn't have a negative vibe for many years, it didn't just show up one day either, it came about because of the lack of will to do anything about small problems over a long period of time.
