A point you seem to have missed is that playing EQ is, with infrequent exceptions, a game that RELIES on SOME notion of community. Engaging with and being a part of that community is often expected of you so that a guild, for instance, knows what kind of players they are going to be recruiting. It seems you're doubting the usefulness of the boards to begin with, which may very well be a question worth asking. But there is definitely a good amount of useful info to be found here as long as you don't wander into BS land, which is decidedly hard to avoid.
I am not really missing that fact. I am one of the people who obviously has some degree of love for the forums when I can't play for whatever reason. That said I don't really feel the situation here is that out of hand most days. There is probably a lot more noticable vulgarity and insults flying about with the server down. I think things will calm down a bunch post Friday and people aren't trying to fill hours of their day doing things they usually spend 5 minutes on lol.
