I consider the pathetic source and it doesn't bother me, but I don't understand what motivates the regular cast of characters that post there or, for that matter, why they should be provided a public forum.
I've never even visited the Misfires forum, but in any online community it's very useful to have a place where off-topic nonsense can be vented - sort of like a lightning rod. Other forums that I frequent are proactive about moving off-topic conversations out of the 'main' areas. IMO that would improve the signal-to-noise ratio here, too.
