Now, not trying to discredit what you're saying, because prior to what I would call the takeover, i almost exclusively posted there and it was great. also, unless the flames leave town and cp remains for some reason for 15 more years, then the situations arent really comparable. But just what I think is an interesting flipside to this

I hear you. The strength of the place I mentioned is that it is relatively broad spectrum so less prone to irrelevance. Nevertheless it is very different from here and not in a good way necessarily.
On topic, I think this is a good discussion to have as it is important to be aware of our tendencies and self-examination is the road to knowledge. CP is a pretty quality place, for the internet.
