Were we this bad when Paramount left?

I don't know if you guys have been taking a cursory glance at AVS, but WOW the posts that are still going in those threads are just pathetic. At first I was reading for amusement, but I just cannot read anymore; it's that sad.

In the general HDM forum now, there are mainly just HD-DVD supporters consoling each other and resorting to bashing the PS3 as a video game console to make themselves feel better.

In the HD-DVD forum, there are a bunch of threads proclaiming that Universal, Dreamworks and Paramount need to start releasing ONLY combo discs (No DVDs at all) to turn it all around.

There is so much more nonsense in there that it really got me to thinking... Were we that bad when Paramount suddenly jumped ship? I have to admit I was pretty shocked so I didn't really post or read any threads that day, but I definitely never posted any ridiculous claims.
