I remember plenty of criticism and negativity in the "old" forum too. In fact, the subject of GPL compliance was brought up on this forum months ago and caused a heated debate then too. The good old days were never as good as they seem.
Look, as far as boris goes, I respect that he always tried to be helpful...but sometimes his enthusiasm for the Edge got in the way of helping people with problems that reflect poorly on Entourage. Just yesterday, he responded to a user who reported problems playing You Tube videos by crowing about the August update which will include a UI refresh. Now, the update in question is NOT supposed to fix the YouTube problem that was acknowledged by Entourage in late July.

Well, old meaning before June, I guess. When it first started, and a few months after that. I haven't been around much in the last couple of months *because* of the negativity. I do want sources to be released, but civility is of /far/ greater importance to me. I am worried about reports that entourage is not being civil to some developers, that is bad business conduct. As is the reverse.
Whether Boris was over enthusiastic or not is a matter of perception. I found him to be polite, helpful and kind, in general. There may be a few instances where this wasn't true, but the vast majority of his posts were positive. I'd rather have overly positive than malicious or destructive.
I stand by my statement about the early forum. The same goes for the Yahoo group prior to the forums starting. The old days WERE better. And way more fun. There were, of course, disagreements and heated discussions, but nothing like what's been happening here the last couple months.
