I think many things have changed. Industry attitudes is one. I find a lot less Remedy developers that enjoy their job like they used to. There was a certain level of light heartedness that existed on the list. Now everyone is very serious and I have actually seen people complain about things like Friday humor.
Also I have noticed (and it seems to be a lot of the traffic that has moved over to communities) a lot of lazy new(er) developers. There used to be a mentality of trying things and learning by poking at the system. Now the more noisy people seem to want to know things that they could learn on their own with simple effort. I think some of the more proficient developers have either moved on or don't feel as inclined to help. You are talking about spanning a generation in real life and, what, 5 generations of programmers/developers. Mentalities and attitudes have changed. It is kind of sad. I don't hear much about local rugs like I used to either. Sadly, it might just be a sign of the times.
