SAoVQ is fucking garbage now, and it makes me just a little sad.

You'd think as DQN I should feel vindicated but really I just feel like I imagine they did in the USA after the collapse of the USSR. I didn't want it to end, at least not like this, with our old rival dying drowning in their own shit. It should be more dignified. Someone should take SAoVQ out behind the barn and just put an end to it, I can't bear to watch.

takes a look at the most recent threads of SAoVQ
It looks exactly like here to me, about the only "worse" I can see about it is more "HURR JEWS ARE EVIL" posts than here.

I know what you mean. I remember long ago DQN went through a rocky period when a certain obscure Touhou character impersonator became a regular poster, but that problem mercifully solved itself given time. I've been telling myself that SAoVQ is in a similar situation, and that, besides, quality of discussion in a community naturally waxes and wanes, but I really am starting to wonder.

I haven't entirely lost hope though, and nor should you. It's worth taking a look through our own archives to remind us of our humble origins, and worth reading some of the older threads on SAoVQ to see what wonders they once created as the norm. I'm no longer convinced SAoVQ can solve its own problems, but if it were offered a clean slate - if, for instance, it went down for an extended period of time then was brought back online once all but the most dedicated had given up on it - I think it could return to its former glory.

This is no empty promise: you should remember that the current posters make low quality posts simply because they find it enjoyable; they have no emotional investment in the website or community, so however vocal they may be they should be easily lost. Furthermore, there is a sense of inertia in post quality; a single insightful post in a terrible discussion is easily overlooked and drowned out, as is a single poor post in an otherwise great thread. If SAoVQ were to start over, and start well, it should easily rise from the ashes.

I really don't know what to say to you.
