Looks like someone doesn't seem to understand the concept of respect, as you're basically whining about people and "no name" clans, which pretty much implies that you don't deserve to be respected, as you treat everyone who doesn't have a reputation like shit, and some of those newer players deserve a hell of a lot more respect than you (As well as me) my good friend.
The main thing that's changed has been the size of the community, so you'll you get more good, but more bad as well.
As for clans, there are many more clans on the forum to before, so some people (elitists) don't appear to take new clans as seriously (e.g. The person above me), as they seem to disband quicker as well (most likely due to the steep learning curve on this game causing players to stop playing after a short period of time).
From the area I'd say I have most experience in on the forum out of anywhere else I go, the replay board now has MUCH higher quality replays to a long time ago, which also means that the quality of replays in videos tends to be quite high as well, which then means that the newer players/players who aren't experienced in replay making on the forum are impressed by these high quality replays and idolize people who make high quality replays, or from what I've gathered, some replay makers all go down the same route and attempt to basically follow the more experienced ones, which leads to a huge pile of generic replays (The current trend being tricking and corkscrews and that jazz)
I don't mind the community from what I've gathered, as I've changed alongside it and met some people who I'd deem as friendly.
