Never cared for Flame Wars, but damn rule #1 is funny. LOL. If you didn't have #1, it would be like /P&N/*.*

The best have probably been deleted entirely.

Although I do recall the Night of a Thousand Nefs had some flaming.

The ATOT BBQ was good

and admittedly the PM4E slapfight I got into was damn funny

and the time I fought with Bridgen a couple weeks ago.

There have been better ones though.

What's his name for starting the BBQ thread about how Ryan was gay and he didn't care. Was that Xionide?

No question the greatest thread ever was when Dennil came clean. Man that thread had everything. Anger, remorse, people who found it funny, those who wished he would drop dead, you had folks pitted against each other over what he did, that thread truly embodied the term virtual world. While it brought out all kinds of stuff, while unfortunate, the thread was awesome. I will be 90 years old I will never ever forget that thread. Dennilfloss is one online name that literally became infamous overnight. In some ways speaking I feel like a part of a lil internet history.

Some of the religion threads from 2000/2001 were truly epic.

Ditto pro-gun/anti-gun threads from the same time period.
