I have just thought of a wacky idea...
How about DanTom creates a "Flame" board, a nice place to swear, yell, scream, and cry at each other. Spamming would not be allowed.... but.... yeah.
Think that'd be cool? So if you were mad at someone on BYOND, just be like "Let's take it over to the Flame board!"

Flame wars are wrong (not to mention pathetic), and Dantom would never condone this sort of thing...not even on a seperate board. | |
Could you imagine tons of childish people posting on one board every couple of minutes with useless cursing? Think of the waste of space and the large change in the enviroment, lets say a 12 year old child is on BYOND and somehow gets into the forums, he then clicks on the flame forum thinking, "Fire!", but to his surprise and probably his parents there are tons of posts with the titles set to certain 4 letter words, what kind of mentality would that create about BYOND?(Then again if he is thinking about fire so dearly... maybe he shouldn't be here.) Plus, to mention this again, the waste of space.

To put it simply, not something BYOND needs or wants. The topic is now closed to me.

A nice idea, but I am not sure if that's what we need.
We're trying to be nice, happy, friendly, and open to all ages, right? Having seven year olds come in looking for a fun game and walk into a pit of hostility and expletives doesn't -quite- sound like a good idea.
