Since you didn't state your units (high... low... ?).
I'm going to insert a unit into your question.

Why is the the signal-to-noise ratio pre-2009 higher than in the post-2009 years ?
For example, many high quality posts and questions were presented that are still referenced to this day from pre-2009. Very few high quality threads are created post-2009.

I've discussed at length this problem with other mentors in the community about the lack of sharing of ideas and questions.

My Estimations for low signal-To-noise:

1. The Top mentors & teams just talk to each other
2. The good teams are afraid of others copying their ideas.
3. Less time to post on chief delphi during build season.

Feel free to insert your own guess for low signals-to-noise on CD ....
but regardless of the cause, the quality has definitely taken a step down over the years.
