Forgive me, but when did TPIR stop going to commercial between Act 1 and Act 2 (PG's #1 and #2)?

^ The original airdate was on May 7, 2009.  I remember that change.

When I saw this immediate change take place, I thought it was really strange.

The commercial break was briefly reinstated during the holidays in Season 38, but was once again removed.

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

When they removed the commercial break in question, did they add one in a new place I didn't notice or did they just extend an existing one?

They extended some of the existing ones; there was no change in the overall amount of commercial time when they eliminated that break.
