Ah, I shouldn't have assumed; although even Feb 2011 is early enough to see before and after boards.

Have you seen any positive use of Boards? I haven't -- even Marc Bodnick's boards are pretty mediocre, although I don't think they drag the site down like the others.

Survey questions are a worse thing than boards, though, I think. Getting rid of both would be great, but if I could only get rid of one...

Agreed. Survey questions are terrible. So are "joke questions", which are now legitimated by an official designation...

Joke questions by people who are already on the site, if they're a small percentage of the total, and easily filtered out, aren't that big a problem for me. Survey questions basically attract and retain the formspring crowd. Better filtering should prevent you from seeing content you don't like, but in the long run, the second order effects will take over :(
