You have probably noticed that the RIP-TGC forum is a joke (at least I hope you have). It's all for the benefit of X-Calibur. He was the admin on the old a.c.h.o forum. He went on hols for 3 weeks, left us all merrily crunching away and came back to find his BB crashed beyond reasonable recovery, his team merged with three others, a new website and new BB on a new server. He was a little surprised to say the least.
Anyway, he informed the group he was going offline for a couple of days and politely asked that we do not do anything hasty in his absence. :D
Red Rag = Bull :)
So, we promptly set up the new RIP forum and Phil (admin), edited X-Caliburs login, so he can only see the RIP forum and nothing else (non-registered visistors cannot see it either). When X' gets back on line, he's gonna go apopplectic :)
The guy has a stunning SOH though (just as well), so it should be a blast.
So, why the poll? Well, a few of us have had such a fun time, flaming each other, that we thought a permanent flame forum might be fun. A kind of "virtual stress-reliever". Providing the jibes and taunts are sarcastic, intelligent and humerous, and providing any duels have pre-agreed limits, there is no reason why it shouldn't be good clean fun. It would also keep the rest of the boards, clean for normal ussage (not that we need this), so could serve a purpose there too.
I've posted some ideas as to what we could rename this forum, please feel free to add your own and maybe a kindly moderator could add them to the poll.
Please post here if you think this is a good/bad idea - let us know what you think.
Cheers :)
