I agree with Fartie. Most of us know who at least one of the Mods is but it's more fun to watch them at work and play without revealing our knowledge.
As for the deteriorating content, well that's just a reflection of what the contributing members want, is it not? Who are we to complain? Doggie posts might be boring to some but note also some of the underlying inappropriate attitudes to other people - anti America, British and European comments and nasty, unwarranted rants about ex-bar girls. There's no other forum like it for those who want that kind of atmosphere so I guess it's serving a niche market.
A big change happened around the time that a few people either left or stopped posting frequently. The reasons for all that have been discussed at length so there's no need to go over it again. However, like it or not, those livelier members did stimulate, provoke even, some discussion. Those who remain, as I said, have got the forum they want so good luck to them. Fine by me - there are other places to go.
