I'd say the current iteration of the forum has much more lax moderation, people tend to get banned much less often (or they just gave up trying to ban people every time they very specifically called another person a festering asshole, OR posts where someone calls someone else a festering asshole are very quickly followed by a post redacting said statement/apologizing, EXCEPT the original post could have just been edited so I'm not sure if the apology is just to prevent their banning or if it was due to the time lapse between the original post and the second post, or whatever, basically double posting just to apologize for calling someone a festering asshole seems pointless to me because the last post in the thread would still be yours if you just edited it and didn't call them a festering asshole, it's like you just wanted to call someone a festering asshole AND get away with it). Also topics generally go off-topic about half the time, but again, the mods probably just got tired of putting yellow "warning text" in telling people to get back on topic.
EDIT: Like the mods are Delita going "blame yourself or God!" except they are God and God is kind of lax on moderation BUT we could all be less terrible as well. Also Delita was clearly kidnapping that chick so I mean, it was kind of a hypocritical attitude all around.
