It's getting pretty close.
I would say that the general quality of the forums has taken a turn for the worse mostly due to the influx of several obsessive compulsive posters. These are people who have apparently chosen EA as their forum of joy, and lurk on it all day long, posting obsessively and vociferously even if they have nothing to say. And when they've posted something on all the threads, and no one has replied to any of their posts yet, they start a new bullshit thread that no one cares about except these other spamming posters.
You know exactly who these people are. They've got recent join dates (say late 2006 to early 2007), but they're already well into the thousands (and thousands) of posts. They're averaging like 15-30 posts a day. Most of it crap.
I still read EA, but damn if wading through all the bullshit posts doesn't wear one out. So much so that I hardly post anymore. The ratio of quality threads to bullshit threads used to be something like 4:1 when I first started reading the forums, and now I would say that ratio has reversed itself. Bullshit 4:1 Quality.
...AND Electrical has Pro-Tools now.
Now, if you'll pardon me, I have to go rent some ice skates to some creature from the ninth plane of Hell.
