Well sometimes a little drama does get people more active. Its entertaining to the spectators I suppose, not for the forum staff who are expected to do something about it.Bring it on!

True. And atop of that, forum staff are (usually) unpaid volunteers who donate their time to help run the forum. I believe that warrants at least some respect and a big THANK YOU.![]()
If someone says something stupid or provocative, if there's no response, there's no drama.
Agreed on both comments.I do feel while you can help to alleviate it, it can destroy a forum. I have been a part of tons of forums where the staff and members just didn't get along. Then on top of all of that, you would get staff who are newly promoted who would get on power trips and cause even more drama, or even admins who would cause it just as bad.
It's a forum killer.
That's definitely true. I think that was one reason InvisionFree Skin Zone back in the day was like the most active InisionFree forum because it had so much drama.Well sometimes a little drama does get people more active.
I remember that forum! Yeah peace is good, we have enough stress IRL to deal with.That's definitely true. I think that was one reason InvisionFree Skin Zone back in the day was like the most active InisionFree forum because it had so much drama.
I'm personally not a big fan of drama myself, I prefer peace.
Regrettably, I’ve been the cause of forum drama in the past, when I was younger.. I hated being the villain, but I loved the attention. Reflecting back on it, it was probably due to the lack of attention I was getting in my day-to-day life. I’m not too fond of drama anymore, especially in the work place, so I guess this is to new beginnings!![]()
Now you're old and...?I was young and dumb.
