I can see two problems with the forum right now:

1) There is not enough technical discussion. There is far more activity in threads griping about "things I don't like about this year's game" than anything else, and these are generally unproductive and they very often breed ill-will and negativity.
2) The atmosphere is not always conducive to providing helpful feedback to people who need it. People who post incorrect things are often swamped with condemnations for being wrong rather than helpful corrections.

We'd all do well (myself included) to step back and realize people are in FIRST to learn. If everyone already knew everything, they would not need to post here. If every team were successful at all aspects of FIRST, there would be no purpose for anyone to participate.
