Coming from someone who doesn't watch Regular Show for it's romance; people like talking about this, period. Anytime there's some kind of development on the show about this stuff the forums explode. Compare how many people were talking about White Elephant Gift Exchange to how many were talking about Merry Christmas Mordecai, two new episodes that aired back to back. If memory serves correct there were like one or two White Elephant threads while the majority of the General Discussions page that day were reactions to Mordecai's slip up. Like it or not this stuff generates more traffic than most other topics. Or people feel moved to express their distaste for this topic, either way, it's still talking about it. (And no judgement here, I've done both.) The point is, if fans like talking about the love triangle or pairings or whatever and it's not breaking forum rules, like harassing others and/or repeating threads, then they should be free to do so. Especially considering, as Regularshowfan54 mentioned, the love-triangle storyline is still going.

The problem isn't that people are expressing their opinions; you can have a new opinion to an old topic that's not offensive. The problem is this us versus them mentality that trolls love to promote whenever the pairing discussions come up. There's no right or wrong side, no one is dumb or a bad person for liking what they like. It's just opinions and preferences, that's all they are. I truly believe the majority of our fanbase get this, despite the "war" that is apparently going on. We shouldn't let a few idiots ruin the fun for everyone else.
