I left the server after 2 years or something because I couldn't stand the abysmal signal:noise ratio (of many kinds), and that's as someone who dedicated their life to CG. Just my 2c.
I get what you mean. I sometimes enjoy looking at the showcase channel or checking out some of the technical discussions but I quickly feel I need a break of a few months from it because there's just so much going on and a lot of it is silly.
