Why do certain people flood forums?

I don’t think so.
But this Legion guy… he used to flood the board with threads. Stopped for a while but it looks like he started again.

Yep. He went as "Harris Administration". Now he goes as @Diogenes. He has been bitching about "JPP Leftists"

Will you give him some attention? I do out of pity. I feed the ducks some bread crumbs.

He posts a lot of content, unlike you and your peers. I don't agree with all of it, but it's usually worth reading. I see more worthless spam by you than content, compared to most posters here, so you're obviously just projecting again.

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.
