The idea that "Musicbanter is going downhill" has actually never entered my mind until now. And still, I strongly disagree with this. When I joined the forum, the atmosphere was quite hostile and certainly far more elitist than it is now (or I've just become more elitist I dunno :P), but if anything, it's gone uphill. Every month we get at least few new permanent members who go on to become an important part of our community, and very few members leave. I can't think of many in the past year who have abandoned the place.
I have no complaints about MB as it is right now. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough at all the dirty little things, but I'm very happy with it.
