Why you shouldnt join online forums

What really is  the point of joining online forums... most forums are just full up of self righteous know it all mods.. you cannot even post a link on many forums nowadays without getting banned.. that just goes to show how petty forum mods truly are.. I have joined many sports forums in my time and other seo forums and they are all basically run by the same sort of people.. mods who want to in some way or other make money off their users.. or to get users to right lots of content so the forum is basically like a content farm which help boost the forum authority in the search engine meaning that if say for example they link to another site in the footer or something that site will then get boosted in the rankings.. so as you can see whether its because the forum is a content farm or has ads plastered all over it.. forums aren't for people they are for the forum mods to make money... they are basically using you.. You know I am right because like I said if you post any link ona  forum you will get banned.. reason for this is that mods believe that this link you posted will in some way effect their seo and thus destroy their rankings and traffic.... LOl quite silly really. Anyway I have been through loads of forums and the only half decent forum I know of for sport is the fanzak one.. all other are either trying to make money out of you or are just boring and dead.. unfortunately because loads of rubbish fourm s are taking up the places in the search engine people cannot find the fanzak forum meaning that there are not that many member's and probably it wont be long until fanzak joins the list of dead forums... Oh no!
