I've been here a while and consider myself one of the "old-timers". I am happy enough with the Mudcat as it sits because there are threads which are about the music. (Thanks to the filter, I don't see the BS threads at all!).

The reason is that Mudcat (for me) isn't about what it WAS, but what it IS at the time. There are lots of new music threads every day, and thanks to people like Masato, I get to learn new things, just about every day.

I learn and find I can help once in a while. That is enough for me. MAkes me happy and let me feel useful. That is enough for me.
