I visit about 8 different forums a day. 2 that I moderate at for my group and some I visit for pleasure.

 

How about the rest of you?

 

Surely as inactive as this forum seems, you must all be visiting at other places on the net. Lets not be shy. Come on. :)

Hard to believe as it sounds, but this is currently the only forum I visit.  I've shied away from visiting the other forums as there are way too many jerks around.  I like it here, it's nice and quiet.

I'm sorry to hear that. Now you've got me wondering which forum you're talking about. tongue.png

 

IF the forum has too many jerks, I don't think the administration will do much to stop the trolling. I was a moderator on a very large forum once. The admins knew who the trolls were, but they were reluctant to pull out the ban hammer because that would mean less revenue. Ultimately every website will make that decision: which is more valuable, new members or the trolls?  

 

For some websites, the trolls will be earning them more revenue than the new members would. For most sites, though, you're completely right, and the trolls decrease revenue by scaring people off.

I used to visit a lot of forums since i have a wide variety of tastes and even was an admin at 2 of them but as time passed I only visit this one now since it is the most peaceful and intellectual one I have come across and made the most friends as well. :)
