I'm not really as connected with the SF&F scene as I once was. Way back in the late 80's and early 90's, I even went to the WorldCon when it was in Atlanta. This board is really the only place that I talk SF&F anymore. Some of that is the demise of the walk in bookstores ( my introduction to David Weber was meeting his sister or sister-in-law at the old SF&Mystery bookstore in Atlanta way back when), some is moving on from the old Baen webboard (really became a Clique (capitalized on purpose) when Jim Baen and most of the authors stopped posting right around the time that Arnold Bailey died).
Personally, I think that when you have to argue about if a book is high or low fantasy, then the distinctions have become too blurred to matter.
