Maybe they are Furries. It is a sexual fetish group. They dress in animal costumes and practice some strange things( not sexual). They just like the dress up. They used to visit Pittsburgh PA for a convention and they walked around dressed up, but they were quite pleasant. Just a thought!

I think that it’s because users who go to a topic because it’s showing as updated don’t want to see short replies such as ‘thanks’, 'I agree or ‘definitely’. The idea is that replies ‘move the conversation along’ and quick replies can put an end to that.
