I agree with Schultz that one person has taken the flame forum too far and that person has received a three day ban as a result.
If I could make one change to the Flame Forum before returning it to action, it would be that posts to that forum not show up when you click on the "New Posts" button in the middle of the top tool bar. That's what I usually click on to read the forum and see what's happening. Unfortunately, it brings in ALL forums so I end up seeing the Flame Forum automatically. I would like to see the only entry to the FF being to click on it specifically an/or subscribe to the threads there.
I agree that the flame forum, and all its threads should be as hidden from easy view as possible... the other thing I'd suggest as a possible change, would be for the flame forum to appear on the forum page in title and description only... without the subject name of the last posted in thread visible to everyone on the front forum page.
That way.. if you don't like the Flame Forum.. you don't have to see at all what is going on in it. Also, there would be -no- way to insult forum users who aren't explicitely going inside the flame forum (i.e.... as it stands.. if you created a flame forum topic of "so and so is a big fat loser", and kept the topic bumped.. everyone would see that insult on the main forum page, without going into the flame forum).
You know?
