Having made a circle of friends in the BG1 forum, he really put up a lot of crap from us, never went too far with his authority though. It really was fun to be on the boards then at the time.
But you notice things, more often than not, it becomes a club. And I've spoken to others that've noticed it. A lot of my friends no longer visit here, and even if you do make a radically in depth post about something, unless you're part of the regular posting crowd that occupy the front page, chances are it'll get ignored.
It's somewhat frustrating.
I noticed it changed probably around the time Heirophant left, or rather the way he left that sticks out in my mind.

I didn't even notice Heiro go. Not in an offensive way, just think I must've already left. I left for about a year, and then came back, and most of the old crowd had gone. Caleb leaving was the start of it, though that pre-empted it all by quite a while. And he did 'leave', rather than just not coming on any more. I think after that it was all just a very slow butterfly effect.
Basically I think it all comes down to the dissolution of HADB and ORT
