I’ve been highly engaged on a variety of car forums for the better part of two decades, both as a poster and moderator. My anecdotal thesis: when moderators over moderate and categorically shut down trolling, differing opinions, a-hole posters, etc. it slows the volume dramatically. It reduces both the good and bad content. That coupled with a maturation and saturation leads to reduced forum participation.
I’m brand new to this forum (although lurking for months), so I’ll leave that for for you guys to debate. But this place seems almost too nice. Hehe
