Of course we have no interest in their decade or more old personal battles. It's nauseating.
Much of their ruckus has nothing to do with flaming...as I think we demonstrated during the imitation flame match.
This is the main problem. They've just shifted their animosity from one forum to another...a common occurrence.
No-one here would have the slightest interest in throwing themselves into a dogfight that has no relevance to them, let alone interest.

Just because they call their personal disputes "flaming" it does not change the fact that it's their feud not mine or yours. I would rather watch an hour long speech by Trudeau than get involved with their battles.
It's not flaming. It's fighting, with words. Flaming has no animosity. That's why these modern day flamers get so angry and aggressive. They haven't the language skills to flame.

This is a problem for "flamers" everywhere, and not just on this forum. Those "flamers" who still consider themselves "in the game" are pretty much all stuck in 2009, and nobody else cares.

True. I would rather just have a fun little scrap here and there and would prefer to leave ancient history behind, and deal with the off-site drama elsewhere. Most of that I think was to try to get me banned from here due to me being here obviously upset a certain somebody.
If anything, the rules here gave me a creative inspiration on how to deal with 90% of that effectively, so it won't be a problem ever again.

Ya, it's frickin confusing, and it has no relevance to me. Some of the flamers could provide some entertainment if they could let go of the past.
The tag team flame match was entertaining. Everything since, not so much.
Simply, it's because we are not a flaming forum. We are more of a group of reflective folks that discuss current events and other issues. Leave the sub for flaming. Let the flamers fight. They may continue or the sub could simply die a slow death. They have started but I am one not inclined to read the mind-numbingly long-winded novels of issues that are alien to me by partakers I do not even know.

That seems to be the consensus Azhya.
It is difficult to follow some of the threads and posts in this section. Perhaps it's my poor English. Perhaps it's because I don't know any of these people. Most likely is that it's a combination of both.
That is because many threads and posts are raking up old feuds and distant animosities that have no relevance to this forum. Some people, banned from forums where these disputes arise, are taking advantage of finding their foes on what is supposedly neutral territory to continue their bickering.
I do not believe our core and loyal members are not in favour of this conduct, as it serves this forum no benefit at all.
All posters are welcome to contribute...and if they wish to indulge in flaming (not fighting) they are free to go nuts.
I do not believe this forum should be a proxy battleground for decades old rivalries.

I think another good question to ask, is why these new "flamers" dont join in other discussions downstairs. Perhaps they like playing in the mud hole vs taking a dive in the clean waters. Dont be afraid noobs, the water is fine lol.
Speaking of "flaming", all Im seeing is whining and bitching. I've seen better flames on a tea light candle. If you hadnt been quoted with a laughing emoticon, then you are failing at flaming. You suck, about as bad as a $2 hooker on a Sunday morning.

If you're talking about the recent batch of idiots that have recently disappeared, their intention was to bring up and whine about ancient history and register fake accounts to try to goad me into getting banned, and now that rotwang kicked that crutch out from under them, they scurried off like cockroaches from a flashlight, and hiding in their hidey holes licking their wounds they self-inflicted.

Don't worry Rotwang, I won't tear your feeble looking head from your spine here, because of the Anti-Flaming Rotwang clause. If you ever decide to be a man, I'll take you on at Flame Truth. Pussy.

This is what happens when your alt is run by a committee, folks.
I've gone to a great deal of trouble explaining to you what flaming is. But all I need to have said is flaming is the EXACT opposite of the imbecilic spittle you spray at your monitor.
Then you close it off by saying "I won't read or respond" when we all know that is bullshit. Your attention starved psychopathology won't allow the possibility that I have distinguished your paltry existence with a reply to be ignored.

My forum was intended to be a chill hangout where we could solicit new membership devoid of the decades old forum psychodrama that was making new traffic an impossibility on flame sites. I had an entire group of girls interested in joining what was supposed to be a social forum and then Mar~Teeny~Weenie happened. Talk about forum death *sighs*
I analyzed what was going on at other forums and decided to get back to a social setting with my forum with the plan that we would gradually build into friendly debates which would naturally progress into arguments.... and then eventually introduce the more evolved posters to the flame site.
But I don't think you can take an existing community of posters and transform everyone into flamers. I don't even consider myself a flamer and yet I'm ranked amongst them. They are an odd group.

My forum was intended to be a chill hangout where we could solicit new membership devoid of the decades old forum psychodrama that was making new traffic an impossibility on flame sites. I had an entire group of girls interested in joining what was supposed to be a social forum and then Mar~Teeny~Weenie happened. Talk about forum death *sighs*
I analyzed what was going on at other forums and decided to get back to a social setting with my forum with the plan that we would gradually build into friendly debates which would naturally progress into arguments.... and then eventually introduce the more evolved posters to the flame site.
But I don't think you can take an existing community of posters and transform everyone into flamers. I don't even consider myself a flamer and yet I'm ranked amongst them. They are an odd group.
Past forum baggage is hard to get away from.

As others have pointed out, the original members here are not participating in flaming..
in my opinion only, the content is the problem..
They neither know about nor care about personal battles from years ago on other forums..
If new material was introduced they may show some interest and post in those threads.
Of course we have no interest in their decade or more old personal battles. It's nauseating.
This is one of the main reasons I opened my forum... well, that and I was escaping non~TOS violation persecution on SG *rolls eyes*

People who can't let go of the past are broken beyond repair. It's been an eye opening experience for me as a new forum owner.
I applaud your efforts. This place has a lovely vibe despite the flame riffraff.
We've had people here too who won't let go of the past.
We like to try and keep the riff separate from the raff.

Mealy mouthed Mel was the worst. What a pathetic crybaby.
That guy is an alcoholic psychopath.
