Didn't you quit for an entire year?
I went to other forums and kind of forgot about this one. Decided to come back after a while.

So you don't exactly know the state that OT's been in since January.
According to criplockin it's gradually gotten worse, and from my own experience it's quite disappointing seeing as threads are frequently derailed. I personally would rather the Seriously Off-Topic forum to stay, because I don't think serious and casual threads can have a harmonious coexistence on this forum since a constructive topic will simply get derailed.

What was it you ask? Forum games and spam threads. The trolls (the good ones) kept things interesting.
So you prefer spam threads and forum games to constructive debate? I guess i'm in a minority if I prefer an informative discussion then.
