The site being treated like a commodity only exacerbated this problem. I'm part of the group that has moved on and only come here for entertainment purposes.
It's a forum now and forums are notoriously difficult to continue moving when there isn't a central focus like a cause or product. It's dead, let it go. It'll be back up on sitepoint sooner or later at a discount price.

BINGO!!!
It's quite humourous now thinking back to the sort of stuff we (as a group) did back then. I look at it now and think "what a waste of money, I souped up a fucking Ford Escort".
I still say the same thing to myself when I check out some of the activities at PSA but to each their own, I won't ever insult them over it but I definitely do laugh to myself about it because it is ironic.
I still receive phone calls from PAS Mag asking me to renew my subscription which I haven't had for over 3 years and I usually just laugh at the 18 year old girl on the other end that has zero business experience and just say that I've "out-grown" the industry.
In the end, it all comes down to money and aside from my main hobbies which are sports; where I actually get something out of it (ie. healthy/active living), I'd much rather invest my money into something with an actual ROI.
