I think the BainsBane primitive is to blame for the deterioration in the quality emanating from Skins's island, especially General Discussion.
Her arrival there, and that decline, appear to have coincided.
To find halfway decent material for the DUmpster any more, one has to go to forums that the BainsBane primitive doesn't.
I haven't kept track, but I'll bet upon closer inspection, a lot of top-quality primitives left ever since she started acting as if she owns Skins's island, or at least post a great deal less than they used to.
