By your logic, Sgt .Pepper (Beatles) is now a bad album because it's 40 years old. Bullshit.
Dave Matthews Band is an act that is still standing the test of time. New fans are experiencing the band for the first time everyday. That includes their older material (hence the discussion about topics that are according to you, "old and depressing", such as the Lovely Ladies.
I'm sorry you don't enjoy great music anymore just because it's from 1993.
But it's still is and always will great. The artistic value doesn't change with time. If anything, their recent efforts just makes their older material even more special and amazing.
Regardless of what you think the band is or what you think the band should be now, you can't take any of that away.
If you aren't satisfied, shut the fuck up and move onto other things. But many of us still enjoy what the band has to offer in 2008.

Okay
So you opened your post claiming that my logic is flawed, reason being that "great songs don't become bad just because they're old".
I'd like you to look at my post and tell me where I said this. You took my avoiding songs like Tripping Billies, Ants, Too Much, to mean that these songs are bad. However, I never said this. I simply said that I don't listen to them anymore.
So your premise in the claim that my logic is flawed is based on a complete inference or assumption which leads me to believe that you don't warrant much talking to.
I understand that newer fans are experiencing the bands older music and yes, that is the reason for posts relating to older music and older themes. However, the point that I was making which, many (but not you) can comprehend, is that the sheer proliferation of these posts prove that the band has not done anything remotely exciting in a long time.
Again, I never said that the band's current material soils or besmirches the reputation of the band; I just stated that the flood of threads on wildly old topics prove that the band is done and has been for a long time.
And while I'm making an enemy with this post, I might as well bring the dude who said "owned" into the mix:
On a message board, nobody will ever have the last word and throwing out "owned", while it may make you feel secure and strong, it is a false sense of strength that is so fragile it will splinter at the touch. You essentially said "owned" to a post that is full of false accusations and illogical debate. Nicely done.
