Maybe folk are tired of puerile jokes or go elsewhere for their puerile stuff. Like Wrestlecrap.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I find the discussion, speculation, and analysis about things like ratings, booking, pushes, and other manners of WWE business more interesting than the Photoshop/joke threads (nothing against them, just not my thing).
I also love to argue and discuss the things I'm passionate about with other fans (it's the reason I got into message boards in the first place), which tends to happen more with those topics. Call it "srs business" or whatever, but it's more engaging to me than esoteric board memes that I wasn't around to understand the context of.

I blame the fun policeExhibits: a) I believe the "Kane taking a dump" thread you mentioned in the OP was not only locked but deleted as an example to anybody wishing to make a similar thread. b) Any attempt at humour is met with resistance, all memes are said to be forced and jokey comments are taken seriously. c) The Shield are targeting the injustice of some of us having fun, they've targeted Ryback because of his humouous ways, catchy catchphrase and taint, Team Hell No for being too funny and Sin Cara due to the 60s Spiderman thread.

I just want a revival of the CANUEVENAFFORDTOPAYMETOWRESTLERON I DUNNNNNNNNOOOOOO meme. I was busy lurking here at that time period, and for whatever reason Luger's outburst still cracks me up. I find myself saying I DUNNOOOOOOO! on a semi-regular basis while checking doors to make sure they're still locked.

I'm the oppisite here. I much prefer the serious discussion to the forced and unfunny jokes that arise far far too often x
nothing is more annoying than seeing a potentially interesting topic and clicking on it only to realise its essentially five pages of the same repeated humour that wasnt funny in the first reply it appeared in x

Bring back Tiger Maskooo.
I get what Clash is talking about. This forum used to be the perfect blend of humor and serious wrestling discussion. Matter of fact, out of all the different message boards I used to be part of; this was only that didn't get off being humorless dicks. Nowadays, its posts about how much WWE sucks. Oh did I tell you WWE sucks. Once again to reiterate, WWE sucks. I mean when the Divas pic thread breaks down to serious talk for most of it, we got a problem. Nobody can force you like WWE nor make you become funny. But the board would be a lot more better if we can achieve that balance once more.

Turn the Wheel of Aggression face. But I need another 3 heel lowercarders for him to fight! At the moment, it's just the 3MB! Tensai, Curt Hawkins and David Otunga. You're welcome.

With each passing day this board gets further away from it's original roots as part of Wrestlecrap which attracted those of us that loved mixing wrestling and comedy. I think a lot of people that have joined in the ensuing years join for more serious wrestling discussion. I agree with the OP that I miss the days that every other thread was funny. Or it could be... Not enough Mason Ryan on TV. I still demand that be his new titantron. I demand he no longer be allowed walk normally and he must now shimmy everywhere he goes. Also he's constantly accompanied by the Alex Wright music.

I do think the fun/serious discussion balance has been messed up. It's a shame that when a stupid, daft thread comes along it often gets party poopers saying THIS ISN'T FUNNY then usually gets locked. And discussions on ratings, in regards to wrestling or any other show, still bores me to tears in most cases.

All the really good photoshop people left. I still spot some of them around here and there. What killed the photoshop threads is that instead of before where there'd be one sustained thread for a good period of time, it turned into one popping up every day or so where there'd be a number on the front page then they'd only last only 2 or 3 pages before being abandoned.

Yeah, people take offense and stuff way too easy, and then feel the need to push some pseudo-political/racial bullshit argument and bring everyone down, rather than just admiring the pictures of the purdy gurlz.

I still find some decent humor in this section, its just littered through various threads rather than just in photoshop or joke ones.

It's either this or King Ghidorah's Wheel of Misery in Off-Topic. Now I'm imagining the Wheel of Aggression Gif but instead of Del Rio it's Ghidorah and instead of jobbers it's all depression news.

It's kinda like when you bump into that kid you and your friends made fun of years after school and he kinda grew out of all the parts you made fun of and became kinda cool.

But I just finished my 2012 ratings analysis spreadsheet in which I calculated who is to blame for the decline
