It's still great for the reasons that I come here-to get and exchange information for Disney World trips. For that, I think there is no other board as good as the Dis. The information is priceless, and reading about Disney World really makes the time between trips go by quicker.
For the community board, I don't know. I read it, but don't understand the people who post about the details of their personal lives. I've never understood the emotion that people bring to these boards. I could not and never would post details about my lives the way I have seen people on these boards do. So when you say it's not the same, I'm assuming you're talking about the community board and not the other boards.
