    Have you ever had a member that only ever posts in your forum games section or off topic discussion and never contribute elsewhere on your forum?

    On our teen forum we have had about three people in our forum games section that have never left it to post elsewhere.

    I've never had people join just to post in the off topic forums, but I have had people literally join just to use the arcade, which is pretty similar.

    I become extremely aggravated when members choose to do this. They are usually between the ages of 13-15 and simply fail to recognize that there's an actual subject in which the forum is based around. If they continue on with these "forum games" for a certain length of time, I'll contact them and ask them to either a) make posts pertinent to the subject matter or b) leave.

    Same here, it just doesnt make sense as to why theyd choose these forums only. Surely they must notice the others that have discussion going on in them with the real meat.

    I honestly could not sit there all day counting pmsl :D

    Maybe they read and occasionally click ads?
