Have these forums "Jumped the Shark"?

The forums used to be frequented by posters who had what I considered reasonable opinions on most issues. In the last couple of days there have been threads about constantly barking dogs left in rigs, a guy who whipped it out and urinated in public, and a guy who dumped his black tank into a stream. In the past those actions would have been met with a long chorus of "that behavior is unacceptable". However all three were filled with posters saying those actions were fine and justifiable. To me it sure feels like the monkeys have taken control of the zoo.

Not only those threads mentioned, but then there are those posters that come on here and complain about other posters. Sheesh :S If you don't like a thread or post, move on. No need to start your own thread insulting others.

It ebbs and flows. Usually you get more posts and topics come summer. Right now, most of us are in hibernation.

Just wait until someone posts a gun thread, which usually floats around sometime in February or March. Then you see things get interesting until a mod puts the kibosh on it.

Of course, there will be the thread about misbehaving kids (and adults), matching weight capacities when towing, generator noise, the rant about how RV quality sucks, usually a thread about Eternabond, and maybe if lucky a thread about gassers versus diesel rigs.

You forgot about campfires....;)
