Happy 15th birthday from user #872. Back when Rob Malda started you, it was such a thrill to read the posts of far-flung techies whose interests went beyond what the real "tech news" press was covering. It's almost painful to go back now and read what has become of you. There are only so many racist trolls one can encounter before it ruins the whole experience.

That can be said about any public forum. Once a group gets large enough you start to get noise that needs to be filtered out. As long as you browse comments at +4 or +5 its not bad. If you play the moderator roll you have to expect crap. Immature people will fill and forum they can find with crap. It's just something we have to deal with as users of the Internet.
