[QUOTE]Well, basically, if you have to write it down to remember it, it's probably not that good of a flame anyways.  Also, it's just kinda weird to me that people think "oh let me write this down so I can remember it on Friday."  <strong>If it's flame worthy enough to right it down, just call the person out right then.</strong>

I agree with this. But that requires a lot more balls than waiting until FFF, when it's totally accepted and about 0 chance of getting called a biitch for calling someone out. Because of my work hours and not being able to knot during the day, I end up reading a lot of threads many hours after the fact, so if I necro-ed a thread to call someone out right when I saw it, I'd look BSC. Or they'd just never see the call out.

Ha, I read that as "Drunky McDrunkenslut."

Which is far more awesome.

Another stupid question, what does AYG stand for?

And I think it totally sucks that people are concerned that they'll be called a bitch for calling something out when it happens.  That's dumb.  (Not dumb that someone would feel that way, but dumb that that's the way things are.)

I do agree that bringing back a dead thread to flame something is iffy.  Those are totally acceptable to save for a FFF, IMO.

J&K10910

Air Your Grievances.

Beachy730

Yeah pretty much.  FFF has gotten tame because most people on the boards are friends now so it's a more friendly atmosphere all around.  And generally people will just call shiit out when they see it now, which makes for more interesting threads on a regular basis.  

Also, let's face it, an FFF full of "I flame this poster from CC" or "I flame the chick who wanted to dictate her BM's hairstyle" is just boring.  So that's why generally by page 3 the flames are done, unless someone actually flames something good or contraversial.  And no, a newb wanting to dictate hairstyles is neither of those things.

Beachy730

Ok Drunky McGutterslut.

ThankfulSnail

But shoes in the house? Totally controversial. 

That in FFF and in the original thread was both the funniest and the dullest thing I have ever read at the same time. How can that be?

J&K10910

Mass FB friendings killed everyone's flaming boners. 

ThankfulSnail

Oops, I guess I messed up AYG. I blame the fact that I never go to SB. I wonder where I heard it was "gripes" instead of grievances. Maybe I made that up in my head.

<div>And to that I direct you to my post about random chatter by page 3.  </div>

ArynBaker

Snail, I agree. I couldn't believe there were 3 pages of people talking about whether it's ok to tell someone to take their shoes off or not. All I could gather is that all the ladies were having slow days at work.

I thought the original thread was kind of funny but it was lame how the whole thing was rehashed in FFF for like 5 pages.

Nickivegan

I love drunky mcdrunkerslut! I'm in the boat of getting to threads late due to working 125 theater gigs most days. I don't mind being the bad guy from time to time, but honestly, 6 hours later is cruel. And, TK mobile makes it harder to remember posters so notes don't seem that crazy.

Nickivegan

Once again, TK mobile screws with my post. 12 to 5. I swear, I can use punctuation!

ThankfulSnail

Very true, beachy. Sometimes I wonder why I read the whole FFF thread, even though I know when I'm at the point where there are no more flames coming. I just always think that maybe a good one will be hidden somewhere on the later pages.... it never is.

Beachy730

Honestly, I think it's just as "lame" to talk about how boring the FFF was with shoes talk, yet weren't there to change the topic.  Like the many people who complained over and over in that thread that it was being talked about again in FFF, yet did nothing about changing the subject or bringing up other flames.  

Also, that's what FFF often turns into because not everyone is there for the original post (myself included on that one), and then the thread or debate gets rehashed by new people.

I thought you were just using hyperbole to explain exactly how many theater gigs you work. This does make more sense. 

J&K10910

FFF's used to give me a little bit of anxiety.  I don'tknow if it was because I was newer back then, or cared more, or what.  I'm glad that doesn't happen anymore.

And my arm feels really weird. 

ArynBaker

I admit I have no right to hate on the FFFs since I have never contributed. I always seem to miss flame worthy threads and mostly just partake in the chatty ones.

This is a good point. It's like complaining about who gets elected president when you didn't go out to vote. I hadn't thought of it that way before.

Well, google tells me it's becuse I'm having a heart attack, but I'm pretty sure that's not right.

Yeah, I used to be pretty scared to get flamed.  Oddly enough, I'm pretty sure my first actual flame did not happen until after the boardwar.  I'm not counting any of the direct confrontations I was in as a result of the boardwar, of course.

ArynBaker

I've yet to be called a bitch on TK (to my knowledge) which surprises me because I'm called a bitch on the reg IRL. 

Beachy730

Oh man, you just Beetlejuiced it twice.  

And man, if it's a heart attack you are a fantastic speller and typist during a heart attack.  They should make an award for that.  

Andplusalso, I fucking google everything.  Like seriously EVERYTHING.  The holes I'm finding in my yard?  Google.  Water stain on the ceiling I need to cover?  Google.  Carpenter bees in my deck?  Google.  What's a gutterslut?  Urban dictionary.

<div>That was my first thought but given your age and the fact you're hanging out on the computer instead of freaking out made me think otherwise. Women tend to have different symptoms anyway. Hypertension maybe? </div>

I diagnose myself via google on a regular basis. I've had like 20 terminal diseases to date.

I haven't been flamed yet, but I haven't really been around enough. I'll probably get all butthurt when it does happen and then get over it.

Nickivegan

Oh Aryn, me too! Ha. We can fix that by calling posters out after threads have been dead for 6 hours though!

ThankfulSnail

I'm nervous that the more I pop up in evening threads, the higher my chances are of ending up in FFF. I know from looking at super old threads that the new FFFs aren't as bad as they used to be, but nobody likes to get called out when they won't be there to respond. I'm still so much of a newb I don't think anyone would really remember me enough to mention me, though.
