Do people literally live on GFY?

After looking around, I've been noticing a lot of people with usernames that were created in 2004, that not only have more posts than people from 2001-2003, but the only way they could have such a high count is if they literally spent weeks straight on here, just posting and living on the board, rather than doing whatever work they say they do. I understand that GFY provides for a social scene that seems to be lacking on most of the other forums out there. Why do you guys need to spend so much time and effort, making posts about things that probably don't matter much. Like finding a wart on your ass or having these huge fights with a scam artist that you shouldn't have dealt with in the first place? I don't consider myself an elder on this board, but with all the shit people spew when posting stat screenshots and whoring out cookie cutter affiliate sponsored signatures, when the hell do you find time to spam the world and promote products/services anyhow?

I know this idea probably won't be considered, but shouldn't there be some sort of information system that limits new users to how many threads they can partake in? I think it would limit scammers from making bullshit posts about some great new site or service they offer. It would also limit people from making a billion posts to make themselves seem reputable because of their false high participation posting level. People wouldn't be able to waste 100 posts on some silly fight that could be solved in a simple ICQ conversation. Overall, it would give this board the type of resource that the industry needs. Just a thought...
