In the days of yore (20 yrs + ) , the original Internet fora were the domain of academics, and large MNCs. So even on the football boards, that was still the base intelligence level of the participants.
With the rise of the WWW, accessibility meant that that level would inevitably fall to that of the "lowest common denominator" . And so it came to be.
Even the mighty Usenet comp.* groups etc, where the smartest people used to debate, became home to rentamouth PC owners, Mich-style nutters etc.
Most of them are now ghost towns, scattered to the four corners in heavy moderated fora and not in one place.
Call it "progress" if you will.
