Man the flame forum is dull! I remember back in the day this was the place to go. All the juicy stuff was in here but now it just plain sucks. Is it because DRN has become too PC to allow a good or even not so good flaming? I guess so. I miss it. :whiner:

I still think the site rocks, just the lame flame forum that might as well not be here anymore. I'm not saying allow it to become filthy nasty, just put the spice back into it.

i still will come to this site because there is lots of information but i used to come here to see if people were arguing and stuff like that now i usually only come if i have a question. lots of threads that were good to read got shut down, thats what i think they shoud change.

Could be that, in light of recent world events, people are less inclined to air their petty grievances.

Just a thought.

We all ride and love dirtbikes, but the main focus for some is to argue about stupid, pointless shat? :|

I pretty much agree that this is now the Lame Board. Maybe the powers that be could pull the rev limiter off of it. :)

Don't hold your breath Greenie. :confused:

Can't say it much more clearly than that.

Given the recent influx of semi-literate jugheads, and spastics who can't go 10 seconds without acting like a turd in a punchbowl it's not likely to change anytime soon.

There are plenty of places on the net where you can whine and bitch to your heart's content. All of you who feel that your life is somehow lacking now that nitwit off topic crybaby chat board BS isn't available HERE, please visit those sites and spread your deep philosophical insights with THEM. :thumb: I'm sure they'll appreciate it as much as we do. :silly:

Aw shucks Rich. I was really hoping to be the "turd in your punchbowl". :p

On a serious note...Why bother keeping this forum open? Any complaints about products can be make known in the other forums. And how many lame ass "I hate the weather" posts have there been? TONS and yes I even admit that I contribute to them. ;) It just seems that after the big lock down, this forum is like a ghost town. :flame:

I've thought it should be eliminated for a LONG time. :thumb:

You know what flames me? Some idiot A-hole that takes the life of his young pregnant wife, for what. Or how bout some young punk that tears down my American flag in front of my house. How bout the little jerk that steals our hard earned possessions like motorcycles and gear. Someone that is so jealous of what you have that they can't stand it and are too damn lazy to work for it themselves.

I bet there's a switch for it around here somewhere. ;) If it were to get pulled, we should atleast do it the courtesy of letting in one more cry baby and let Rich tear him a new a-hole. As in a Farewell Flame Forum salute. :) :yeehaw:

my .02 cents: Thanks Okie and mods! There are other sites where you have to wade through 25 posts of junior high name calling to find anything worth reading. The last thing we need is to be anything like that.

Pete should be in the hall of fame! He has earned it as well as any of the others, bar none! I was unaware that along with great ball playing one must enter sainthood as well. :)
I bet if laundry were to be aired of former inductees, the whole place would stink!

OK, carry on. :)

And that's just the point Rich. The reason I miss the "old" flame forum is because it was here on DRN where we are all like family. The amount of time I've spent here I've come to know a lot of members and true the one's I've met aren't the ones that stink up the place. Fact of matter is that it's amusing to read some of the posts here and laugh about it with friends. I don't recall ever taking anything too seriously that was in the flame forum but it was fun to read and sift through the good ones. Come on man, you have to admit you were good at shuttin` some of them down, sic-em Rich! ;)

A lot of people did take things too seriously and it caused problems that should never have happened. All b/c things went from a civil disagreement to a large mis-understanding and a lot of hurt feelings.

Flamewars on the Internet serve no purpose IMO. Disagreements are one thing and sometimes even they can go too far but in the flame forum things go too far more often then not.

I'm another supporter of elimination of the flame forum.
