Why do certain people flood forums?

I love the ignore feature on this software. The forum is a much better place w/o the spam, the trolling, and screams of LOOK AT MEEE!, the racists' filth, the hate, and rage. Well, I still get those last few from Toxic's dreck, but mostly I scroll on by that twat's posts and just drop off a barf. :rofl2:

Cue the bellowing of "Another thread is mine!"

People flood forums to rapidly spread information, express strong opinions, or disrupt conversations by overwhelming them with a high volume of posts. This can be for positive reasons like promoting a cause or negative reasons like spreading misinformation, creating chaos, or harassment. This tactic is also known as "flooding the zone" and can be used to sow distrust or overwhelm the opposition.
Reasons for flooding forums
Spreading information or opinion: A large number of posts can rapidly share information or a strong opinion with many people at once.
Spreading misinformation: Deliberately flooding a forum with false or conflicting information can confuse the audience and promote general distrust.
Disruption and chaos: Individuals, such as trolls, may flood forums for amusement or to deliberately disrupt a rival's activities or sow general chaos online.
Political or social manipulation: Flooding can be a tactic to polarize an audience or to "decapacitate public deliberation" by creating confusion and apathy, especially in contentious political discussions.
Hiding other content: Flooding can be used to bury genuine posts or discussions under a large volume of new messages.
Harassment and bullying: Flooding can be a form of cyberbullying, where a large number of posts are used to target an individual and cause them distress.
Infiltration: Sometimes, flooding is done to infiltrate an online community to gather information about its members or activities.

My take? Loneliness and no life.
You started a thread about people flooding the forum, and this thread is nine pages long, and yet you flood your own OP.

Why would I use it? It amuses me how frantically he is seeking our attention.

So no, I don't think I'll have him on ignore.

It's simply is for my amusement.
