what makes a quality thread?

[sweet angel]

Here's a different angle. Maybe the people who posted those threads and those who posted in those threads have moved on to other things. Maybe it's something that can NEVER be re-created. Plenty of people posted on OA.com and have now moved to a life beyond message boards.

What defines quality differs from person to person, so I truly don't see how an absolute answer can be given.

Of course, most of us can recognize utter nonsense.

At this point, I'm sure many people would be willing to post "intelligent" topics, but would that necessarily help?

Maybe the whole message board heyday is over.
