Sov's antics.

He's decided he wants to get rid of the flame forum. I knew he was bound to do something stupid.

He says it scares away new members. How would he know? I haven't noticed any new members running off screaming about the flame forum. I myself think it encourages people to register so they can join in and argue their points.

First of all, if they can't read the description of the flame forum, we don't need them here anyway. We don't thrive off of new members. We don't need them to live. There will always be new people coming in, and yes, it would be nice for there to be a good amount of them, but if they can't read, they don't need to be here.

Without the flame forum there will be nowhere to say what you want to say. The rest of the forums would be full of flaming and fighting. The mods would have a lot on their hands trying to handle that.

My main point, though, is not that we can live without new members who can't read and handle the flame forum, but that we can't live with a supreme mod who throws out ideas like this without thinking about the results of what they are asking.
