Not always a bad thing
Not very often.

The problem with many of the haters is they are obsessed and will jump on anything they can to twist or even lie about the object of their hate. Some of it's personal and some of it's a business stance and becomes personal.

Here is the problem. Many board owners only look at it from a traffic and views POV. They see the hater, trolls and flaming as a good thing. Because it increases the page views, threads and posts. They ignore the fact that most of this traffic is garbage and might effect the profitability of advertising on a board.

It's not about the number of threads, posts and views. It's about the quality of people on the boards and I can tell you from a personal POV the effectiveness of many boards has crashed.

Get rid of peole like Frank and your left with cunts bumping shitty competition threads, women hating surfers and sig whores.

Can I suggest if you don't like what he says, put him on ignore.
Yes sometimes he may say something that needed saying. But how often does he say things that do not need saying?

Again it's about quality.

But in an industry that saw traffic as the solution and while traffic was increasing ignored the worsening ratios I'm sure that will be ignored. As much as it needed saying. LOL
