Things do change as do people. It's not always bad or for the better. There has been a lot of change in CF. It was not always for the better but we have grown in far too many ways to count.
Gord adds a lot of perspective to a great many things here. A short summary often can focus that idea and this thread does that quite well I think. We reach toward 19,000 members and 1/4 million posts and it's not a lucky break we got this far. We have changed as was required and we don't see that getting different. We continue look for new ideas and ways to make it sail better. It does not happen in a day or even a a few weeks. We are more than one person yet it is through each person we find what we look for.
We are a large crew looking for new things in familiar ways. They don't always come together that easy or familiar. Not everything new is familiar and not everything familiar is appropriate with the things that are new. It creates storms. Weathering a storm is just something you need to accept now or later.

It seems to fit CF quite well. After all this time here I find "something else" is the more important part and I've found a lot of it here. If you can read 25,000 posts you'll see it clearly.
