It's all the spamming (not necessarily from you Harry) with pointless and un-informative crap that's the problem. Combine this with a lack of general forum etiquette in some instances and frustration from long-time forum contributors as their pleas (to use Google and the forum search function before asking a question that's already been asked) repeatedly fall on deaf ears and you get more people logging on less frequently which leads to a decline in quality information and discussions on the forum.
