So, lately I've been browsing a few forums, and have been a bit annoyed by the amount of low quality content that is posted. I understand that of course every forum has members who post low quality content, but when every discussion turns into a "list X" topic full of three word responses and nobody bothers to even read the OP before replying, it defeats the point of having a discussion forum to begin with. I'm also equally annoyed participating on forums where the administrators care about nothing other than their own statistics or the software that they run. Some niches tend to be worse than others, but no real niche is immune these days.
Anyway, I just find it sad that so new forums around are trying so hard to survive that they focus on nothing other than the stats. Forums are a great thing when the discussions stay unique and interesting.
What are your thoughts? Have you found yourself participating on good forums in the past that have had growing issues with low quality content?
