So I've spent the last couple of days googling the Internet looking for environmental science related forums to participate in to help attract new readers to my environmental chemistry site, and I must say forums get really scary outside of the webmaster genre. I haven't found any forums of the environmental/ecology nature that can hold a stick to the quality of forums I've gotten used to participating in because of WPF or dare I say SPF. I've forgotten how quickly poorly run forums can get taken over by a few malcontents who are hell bent on shouting down anyone they don't agree with. Its like the really knowledgeable people have either been driven away from these types of forums or were never brave enough to participate to begin with.
Every now and then I get the idea of starting a forum related to my site and then I look at posts on articles comment sections of sites like CNet and I ask my self if I really want the hassle of having to police trolls. It really is a shame that malcontents can ruin things for everyone.
