Sorry to see you go. I too see many of the same problems.

It will be interesting to see if the donation drive begins to show any effects. While the user ID churn rate at FR is pretty high, it seems that the turnover has been limited to either one-liner poster or aggressive trolls.

Losing long-time posters like Poohbah, who typically participated with interesting, well thought out commentary and observations, is not a good sign. Others have noticed the anti-intellectual movement at FR; hopefully it will recover.

Weirdly enough, I've been checking out f**kedcompany again. It seems it's the one place where DUers and FReepers can attack each other without anybody getting to ruffled. I keep going back because the level of debate is actually pretty entertaining (granted, maybe 1 thread out 20).

Hmmm.

Anyway of getting that darn churn rate reduced?

While at the same time accelerating the troll turnover?

(I'm ambivalent about the one-liners.)
