What you have realized is a fundamental problem of message boards. Their existence cries out for content, but there is not enough content to justify their existence. You read the board anyway because you are part of a “community,” but you get sick of its repetitive nature, particularly when some noob shows up and starts saying something that everyone already knows. Someone always snaps on the person who posts the same topic yet again even though there are no other “on topic” topics to post about. About 99.9% of the time the discussion changes nothing. The other 00.1% of the time, we prevent the hiring of Greg Schiano, which is kind of like the one good shot you hit on the golf course that keeps you coming back. But in the most general sense, about 1 day after any event, there are no new takes left to spew. And yet people will heed the call of the message board, looking to debate ad nuseum whether Nico’s departure will be good or bad because… well… I’ll leave it to you to answer that one.
In my personal opinion, people MUST fight about “who cares” and other similar pettiness because it is necessary to fill the void and drive engagement, and engagement drives ad revenue, and making money is the point of the site.
