Dii.net is, or was, immense. If you hung around a particular forum, you could meet some interesting people.
The General and OT forums had too high an idiocy content, but as you point out, there were some very intelligent commentaries now and again.
I thought Gaile and Elly and the gang did a creditable job at trying to be all things to all people, which is a hard criterion to fill. The noise level just got to be too high for me to spend any more time there.
The guides tend to have too much shopping list and not enough tactics and strategy, though I did get a few of my suggestions into a Trapper Guide. :)
All in all, you can usually find something interesting there if you look hard enough, and want to wade through spam.
