Ok JdFox, I'll bite. Let's go ahead and break down your complaints.

If by "quality" you mean stupid gifs, ridiculous memes and absolutely no discussion involving wrestling outside of maybe a couple posts here and there in between shows, you're right.
People like making gifs of memorable parts of Raw and Smackdown; sometimes they're funny, and people will keep using them when relevant. Other times they won't be as good and they'll die down after a day or two. I've seen this happen even since I've lurked here, so I don't know where this complaint is coming from all of a sudden.
As for your complaint about how there's "no discussion involving wrestling outside of maybe a couple of posts?" Do you just completely tune out during Raw, Smackdown, PPVs, and TNA? Plenty of people talk during and after the shows. Just because you're choosing to ignore that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. There's also a natural lull in between shows, but of course everyone has to stay on topic even when there might not be much going on. Heaven forbid people talk about something funny that is wrestling-related.

The discussion has gone to absolute shit over the past couple of years. Looking at the previous threads, there was actually discussion.
And I bet wrestling was actually exciting and fun to talk about back then too, right? You can easily place the discussion blame on the overall quality of wrestling. Face facts: WWE and TNA are at their worst quality that they have ever been in a long time. Discussions about "this thing sucks" can only go on for so long before people get tired of hearing it. And when TNA and WWE did something cool and exciting (example: The Rock coming back and Punk with his pipe-bombs), there was plenty to discuss and plenty of non-"shit" posts.

Now we have pages of stupid spamming of the same dumb Twitter post, stupid jokes that most people find insulting rather than humorous, dumb gifs and blatant spamming that has all accumulated so much that it's caused moderators to come in here and tell people to stop. Quality discussion right there when bish has to come in and threaten people to stop with the shit.
You can't really stop people from quoting the same thing over and over because it's hard to tell if something is quotable or not. You can only hope and ask that people learn to cut the tags from things (which actually has been asked recently). But when several people quote and respond within the same 5-10 minute window, chances are you're going to see a lot of repeats.
Refresh my memory please: which jokes do people find insulting? Because aside from people blaming *** ******** for snitching, I don't recall a single joke where multiple people were offended. Or is this just you trying to be the voice of the voiceless?
As for your last comment, Bish only came in because someone tipped him off over Midnight WrassleGAF getting too big for its britches. I'm personally sad to see it gone, but I'll be the first to admit that it's for the best.
So instead of whining that things are getting worse, why not take the initiative once in a while and bring up something to talk about? I guarantee you'll get more responses than just sitting around with your arms crossed pouting.
