As I am sure everyone has noticed, webmaster boards just ain't what they used to be. Is this because there are fewer webmasters? Could it be because there is not enough money being made to spend time sig whoring?
Perhaps the business is just dying and the web boards are going down the same plughole. Who knows.
I have noticed that small focussed boards with good business and/or technical information have fewer posts, but the quality of the posts are much higher than "Happy Tuesday" or some other such meaningless drivel. I personally think it is the future of boards. Its like traffic. Huge amounts of traffic that doesn't convert is....well a shit pot of cheapskates. Small numbers and high conversion....the way of the future.

Anyone have an opinion on this?
