why are people haters? vent

I have noticed that this forum is really turning into ranger power sports. i.e. people are now DICKS. This place really used to be nice and I used to come 3-5 times a day, now I come like twice a week. Everytime someone asks a question all they get is shit and if the moderators dont like the person they close their threads. Even the SSM old timers (even ones that I fought for to be un-bannedfor stupid bs) are like this. I guess this is what happens when a forum becomes high volume. Heck I remenber when the mazda folder had less than 200 topics. I don't want to hear any bs about not being a paying member b/c I used to be a gold member but now I don't feel that it is worth the money anymore.
