I've been thinking for a while that the state of these forums is an absolutely fascinating study in the decent from euphoric hope to depraved ranting in a matter of months. I haven't decided if who is to blame, or if anyone is, but it is clearly true. The tonal shift on these boards is so pronounced, it's amazing the servers don't physically catch fire.

I'm also starting to wonder if this is a chicken and egg problem. Did Yoshi-P stop visiting and posting personally because he doesn't want to give information, which inflamed the populous, or is there less information because the populous is inflamed and Yoshi-P is loosing momentum. God knows, reading these forums is enough to give anyway fits of depression. Though similar to the aforementioned chicken and egg, it's pretty much impossible to tell which came first.
