I loved SG when I first joined up, despite the huge hate fest I was bombarded with Lulz, it was busy as heck with loads of traffic and you could guarantee that if you hadn't logged in for a day or so there would be loads of new content to read. Flea also believed in free speech and didn't try to censor un-PC views, which is unfortunately a rarity in this day and age.This lasted probably around a year or so, but nothing lasts forever and forums are no exception, I've witnessed this exact trend with numerous boards over the years.
Seems to me like nobody wants the headache of running SG any longer so surely the only sensible solution is to call it a day and pull the plug? A shame I know, but at least the place had a good run and many of the old regs have found their way here anyway...
