Something that I've noticed is an increase in the number of posts talking about the fall of quality...

Perhaps instead of talking about how your sick of people saying GP is dead, etc... you should go out and set a POSITIVE example that other teams, other posters, and other FIRSTers can follow. Rather than tell everyone to "not post these anymore" (which will never have ANY effect) go out and lead by example. Whenever you see a thread which talks about a lack of GP, share a story which shows GP is alive and well.
Whenever someone posts about how their team got screwed, help them to realize the positive experience they've just been through doesn't necessarily have ANYTHING to do with winning.

Joseph,
You've been posting for a while now. I'd expect you to know that setting a positive example works much better than simply telling people what to do.

If you feel strongly about this.
Step up to the plate.

Thanks,
