Right on the money. I was there in the (relatively) early days where it was exciting to ask and answer questions and contribute to the site, while scoring points(!) Nowadays I often encounter SO links while googling things, and it has certainly become a great resource in that sense. But I rarely have a need to ask questions there anymore as everything is covered, and trying to answer questions isn't worth the effort for similar reasons. As new technologies emerge, I can see there being waves of increased activity as those topics are explored, and if you're one of those people on the forefront of said technology I could see it bringing back some of the original charm.
