No, I don't play any other games but UO, which I love and support through these boards and the site to the best of my ability.
I can see why the thread in question contained requests for clarification. I do not see why people chose to turn it into a dev bashing fest deriding the problem being fixed while having no real knowledge of the true scope of the problem.
Personally, I think you folks over there do a terrific job at riding the line between trying to keep these boards free for expression of speech, and trying to maintain a level of control over the general tone of the boards.
The bottom line is that as much as we all would like everyone to post constructively (and I think most do most of the time), we're all subject to tempers and emotions - especially when it's on the topic of something we care about, and have invested years into.
As a dev, I don't like the dev bashing that sometimes happens, but I understand it. In my opinion all the work you moderators have put into these boards have really paid off. You guys might not see it in dealing with the day to day stuff, but from my point of view, the difference is VERY noticeable.
