These boards haven't changed, there's always been flamers and people who take any excuse to bash as long as I can remember it. The same goes for most lightly-moderated boards on the Internet (for example, most MUD newsgroups).
Don't lump all of the MUDs who joined the list into the "we hate you so we're going over here" group. Some of them probably just wanted to see what the others were up to.
As far as certain people inciting arguments against themselves: arrogance is very annoying. Publicizing your game is one thing; insulting other games in the process and talking about how much money you're making and how better your game is than everyone else's, even if it's "true" in your eyes, is not. It's pretty #### arrogant, and that's going to tick anyone off. Some are just better than keeping their mouths shut than others.
