I say it's due to the 'newbie eagerness syndrome'.
Symptoms include the discovery of a new message board the subject likes, wants to make contributions, discussions and stuff. The subject attempts to post everywhere she can, start new topics and involve herself in the community since it seems to give a decent voice to the newer arrivals - well, that's until some veterans go and start strongly opposing her ideas (especially in the tech board) because they start feeling the subject is not only eager, but also growing invasive to their mental idea (or interests) of what the Star Army Roleplay ought to be.
Since the subject really likes the message board, she finds herself oogling at it, clicking refresh often, clicking on the 'Who's Online' link to see what the people online are up to (and be secretly upset that most of them only have 'forum index' listed there most of the time).
My advice to be able to mitigate the damage of the 'newbie eagerness syndrome' is to find other more constructive ways to kill time besides just spamming the refresh button and staring at a message board that refuses to spontaneously have new posts on command. The distraction selected should, by my recommendation, be something you can pause easily so that you can keep it on hold indefinitely to turn and post if you have the opportunity without feeling rushed (thus being able to think about inane details such as table manners).
