Why do you join forums?

Drut Administrator Posts: 513	Why do you join forums? What's the incentive? What emotions are you feeling? What makes you prefer to lurk? Give me some feedback maybe the forum can be improved to attract new users if we understand this question better. Why do you join forums?

I'm starting to wonder whether love bombing might be a necessary evil.

Think about it for a second, you see two different people with two different forums, but the same subject, a subject that interests you. Guy A is a pretty nice guy. He is willing to interact with you, and post with you in a fun, mature way. He is considerate of others' feelings, and always brings something interesting to the table. Guy B is a jerk. He likes to spam his forum, begging people to join. He likes to make smart Aleck comments towards other members, post spam replies, and flames others when they point out that he is wrong.

Now, whose board would you be more likely to join? Person A, or Person B?
