You have to put the trolls in a positive perspective, and then they don't bother you as much and their existence makes more sense. They are important to the ecosystem of the internet, especially on a message board, and they will keep things fresh. Kind of like a maggot, they feed on the rotten bits and clean things up.
You and I both know drama brings views. You get one good troll running through the threads, and bumping them with senseless comments, and the board will stay nice and fresh. Nobody, and no thing can be successful without haters. It is part of the balance of this world.
Seriously, it is my theory that they've cleaned this board up a little too much and that is part of the reason it has slowed down. I know this from moderating a board. The less moderation, the more the trolls go crazy and the busier things get. You just have to feed them a little. Then you have to deal with the complaining, but if you can eloquently handle that it equals even more traffic. Lensman was the master at that. Miss that guy lol
Also, a lot of us here have matured past wasting our time on drama and are burned out on it. But trolls really do have their place. L-O-L
