As these forums are run for profit and benefit from new views, my hope is the administrators and us members take some action against the few lonely fools who need to hear themselves rant and yell at clouds because no one in their personal lives will listen. I am sure new member counts are dropping because of this trend.
If, as you claim, these forums are ‘effectively ruined’ you must have a ton of examples of legitimate new members being pounced on by the same few people averaging almost 4,000 posts per year.
You should have referenced some of these examples as it would have added some sort of validity to your post.
I average 1.18 posts per day btw so I guess I am a not one of the bad apples. Unless ofc you are extremely poor at math and have a likable tendency to exaggerate and dramatize things.
Either way, it is nice to know that your main concern appears to be the forums profit margin
