@ewwhite Ew, reddit? :/ My experience with that site is that it's a great time-waster but it's not really a useful resource. That's where I'd go if I wanted some gifs/puns about sysadmin...

@EEAA Have you found other sites, IRC channel, or similar where you spend your time? I want to contribute to a sysadmin community, but SF isn't a good fit. I want to collaborate with professionals, not provide free technical support.

This matches my feelings pretty closely. I try to contribute to SF when I have free time or energy, but I have noticed the overall "feel" of Serverfault has trended towards the negative in both tone and content. I don't pretend to have the solution; just making a sad assessment from the sidelines.
