It's because they are not kept serious and people are allowed to fuck about that you end up with the weekly messes that you all have to clean up. Not only that, but it puts people off. Ah, but fuck that, lets have 100 younf tossers posting instead of 5 old fogies. The United forum specifically here could possibly qualify as the biggest waste of Internet bandwidth outside of e-mail spam, RAWK, and bigcocks.com.
