I haven't been on the boards as much as I usually would either, but it's mostly because of being super busy and taking care of my gf as she's been dealing with a lot of morning sickness and stuff lately.
The boards can be great, but not necessary. Use them as a tool, or as a source of entertainment or just some place to relax.... try to avoid the drama and just hang out.... they can be a great place if you take them for what they are.... a place to post stuff on the internet
