I don't really blame them. My posting hasn't really decreased all that much since then, but I'm far less likely to take quality football threads seriously. Sometimes I just troll, othertimes I join the muck because it's just easier.
I think this offseason will be different, though, and things will start to change. We'll have a huge assortment of draft picks, so even if Dorsey goes super conservative, we'll have a ton of stuff to talk about. It won't be so focused on one or two positions like it was last year, which then lead to the same topic of OL importance being hashed over and over again.

Agreed this influx of 49er fans has had the worst effect on my fandom that I ever recall. I still watch the games but that excitement for a good outcome is out the window. I'm pretty much passive with the occasional chuckle.
