Well, damn. I both think that this cross-referenced flame forum would be a relatively bad idea, and that C:A was some fun; at least at times it was. I mostly enjoyed it after it died for a few months, but now it's just vacated. There were some pretty funny threads being kicked around over there for a while, but that was yesteryear. I think the primary problem with a flame forum on this board, or in general, is that some people like to talk shit and have a good time with it, but not actually demean others...and some people just like to rip people to shreds without respecting the other person's feelings. What I mean is that you can call someone pretty awful things, but do so in a way that they know you're "laughing with them, not at them..." I think that some of the latter happened in the initial stages of CA, but tended to drop out after it actually died. I suspect the same thing would happen here. In fact, I would venture that someone could basically start this idea in Nonsense, and as long as it wasn't overly nasty and people had a mature outlook on satirical borderline-asshole humor, it wouldn't cause any problems. However, I think the problem wouldn't be with "flaming" other members, it would be with crossover from the thread where you have to act mature and the thread where you rip someone's ass out. To wit, you could probably start a Nonsense thread of "say the worst thing you can to the previous poster" and it wouldn't cause an issue. Having a thread that was basically "TFPer X is a cumdripping ball of retardation-infused ass phlem because of their obviously backass views on the Abortion thread" would cause a whole different set of problems. Two separate conversations between meta-personalities, one being polite and the other being as childish as possible. I'd say we're better off reinforcing polite discourse. If you want to flame someone
squeeb, log on to C:A and make a thread. I can pretty much promise it won't be taken down over there. Of course, no one will probably read it, but them's the breaks.
In fact, just for you:
