Aren't you exaggerating a little bit?
After reading this I understand you think that most of the members on JF read threads only the first page and don't even bother to look at the second one. Well let me tell you that you're wrong here, and people who go several pages back to revive the old threads prove that.

So? The whole J-music forum is filled with "OMG" and other pointless posts, but I don't see the mods of that section complain about that.

Just because one member revived six old threads pushing the active ones out, doesn't mean the same thing is gonna happen everyday. There's is always a member now and then who makes several pointless threads or posts in less then half hour.

Don't think you're the only one who noticed that. The only thing I can suggjest is - once a year delete all the old threads in the "Be my friends ads" leaving only the last four pages. That way less people make fools out of themselves.
