I went in once, and was bored to temporary misery. They are complete crap, and if you keep recruiting people from Teenspot, how do you figure it will be much different, if at all?
Sure, members are great, but ones who aren't losers--you know who they are--
are better.

Get rid of it? Hardly. Who is to say those chats, or even HERE, will not lead to inapropriate instant messanger relationships? Where do you think they start in the first place? At least one party lies, the other, who is a complete moron, buys into the image being presented to them, then they take it further and talk more often and effectively on messenger, after their addresses are shared.
Also, though variety is good, it does often ruin the image. Losers always end up dominating forums, because they choose to spend more time there.
Don't get too caught up in quality just yet. We're doing fine. Heck, I've had over.....45-50 responses to my posts alone. The majority of them are pretty respectable posts too. I mean, we can take up thread space insulting the idiots, but they die down quickly, unlike good discussions/debates.
If you want to be structured--which everyone should want in any walk of life--then you have to have faith that getting quality members WILL work.
There is no gaurantee it will work, as my attempt at it failed within a week, but you have to at least try, unless having a forum filled with crap appeals to you.
