I don't think CC would be much different without FW. I think we should try it. I'm going to go start a petition to remove Flame Wars. Who's with me?

Ahhh, it is already gone. So I guess if you want a petition, it should be to keep it gone.

You know, Jiminski, we get your point, the less that is said about the disappearance of FW the, less likely it will come back. However, a lot of us were offended, deeply, by the foul nature of the FW, and that bleed over to other fora. We a happy to see it gone, and forgive us if we take a moment to breath a sigh of relief that we can now recommend this site to our younger family members and their friends.

You are baying for a fight and that is plain. Crudity and offence can come in many guises my friend.

Haha, this is quality material here. Laying it on extra thick to really expediate your agenda. Just because some people took that place too seriously and got all butt hurt when they ventured in there doesn't mean it was any more detrimental to a young'ns eyes then anything else out there in this sick, sad world. Wake up people, this is a war game and getting rid of a safe haven for degenerates isn't going to turn this site into some G-rated Disney Land over night. It might clean up the overall image that the site wants to promote and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. That's their prerogative.
Even if the clouds go away and the Sun comes out, you're still going to have pricks like me that cut others down for shits and giggs and poke fun at their misfortunes. Then of course there is always our favorite anonymous online predators that lurk in every corner of the World Wide Web that will then just adapt and change their screen name to Jiminy Cricket. Except when they lie to your children about their age it won't be Pinochio's nose that grows...

Well I say bring it back. There are times on CC when GD reaches new heights of boredom, when one scrolls down the GD page and finds nothing worth even reading never mind commenting on. At those times (and assuming for some reason that my thought process hasn't naturally turned to bigboobstightarse.com) flamewars is more than worth a read. In fact, it is sometimes very, very funny.
Not sure WHY it has been removed. For the profanity, for the sake of a clean cut image, for the sake of the new management looking like they are doing something? All are possible. However, so far we have been given a pink screen and some stupid dice for a day and have had one of the most popular forums removed to be replaced with a forum that is obviously flawed at its very conception. 'Peace and Love'? This is a bloody war game...

Rocket.
It seems that way to me also, the old 'Oops-I-misplaced-Flame-Wars-where-is-it-now?' trick.

You know what I agree.
Let's not stop there though. While we're on the 'I never used it' wagon, let's get rid of speed games, freestyle, 8player doubles, Prohibition Chicago, Q&A forum, this smiley ->

, the Referral Program, the disable BB code checkbox, the topic review link, the rules link, and the instructions link. I mean hell, I never use them...

I suppose we were at about the time for another ridiculous thing to be discussed at too much length.
Do I need to go get my Che avatar again?
