Um, yes.
That’s kind of how forums work.
Every time Ubisoft says / does something stupid this thread gets bumped:
http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?t=70429
Every time RIM shoots itself in the foot, this thread gets some new posts:
http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?t=65450
And every time someone wants to complain about Civ5 AI this thread gets some love:
http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?t=57760
Etc. etc.
So yes, I would say that you’ll probably see some forum activity any time Brad posts a hateful screed about people he doesn’t know in which he complains about people writing hateful screeds about him when they don’t even know him.
I mean, that’s pretty damn classic.
