So you went to all SIGGRAPHs until about 6 years ago, *and then stopped going because you thought it wasn't good anymore*?
You should have gotten involved. SIGGRAPH is what we, the people who do computer graphics, make of it. Every conference is organized by volunteers. If there is something you don't like and you have good ideas about how to improve it, you'll have a chance to participate.
Your post made me think of the people who are inactive politically, don't even vote, and complain about the state of our democracy.
