Flame

Spit on the floor and call the cat a bastard... When the temperature of a thread on one of the other discussion rooms becomes too high, a moderator may move it here so that it doesn’t interfere with more civil discussion. There are very few rules here- No racism, bigotry, threats or doxing. In the past we have found some of the most humorous and entertaining discussions have been on the Flame board. So step into the ring, or grab a bag of popcorn and enjoy the spectacle.

Nothing could be more appropriate than this. - bowser - 7/12/2014 8:49:08 PM
