Same question. And why in the world was this person downvoted for asking?

Austin may not have jumped the proverbial shark, but this place sure has. Very different audience than the people who were here just a few years ago.

Lots of jaded, unemployed SWE with free time here now

As in any such case, whether a city or a forum, it's not different people, it's the same people getting older.

Yep, I missed a word. Board game groups.
