Flaming Pit doesn't should real "cool" to me. I really don't get the members only thing though, somebody explain that. What exactly is down there that requires it to be members only?
Yeah the Flame Pit doesn't get much traffic so you should try and find another place to get your daily fix of insults.

Sapphire is awesome!
just call it spam pit from now on btw
without mage it can never be a true flame pit.
Now I know you're an imposter.
For a while it was pretty much the "Animeniax-Abdula-BoC-XanBcoo pit".
I agree it needs more traffic. I even posted a thread in there telling lurkers to post. Oh well, apparently spamming nonsense is considered prestigious.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
im the real deal son
I stopped posting in there bcos it became it became more of a love nest than a flame pit. Now its just the odd post here and there.
No thanks.
I can't say that I visit the flame pit often, because firstly I think of you guys as my online family, and the things people say to me affect me quite a bit. Thus, I don't really feel the need to be insulted, nor do I wish to insult or demean anyone else here. I know that in my sociolinguistics class we looked at how in general guys bonded more through challenging each other and tossing back and forth insults, whereas girls would bond through affirming and sympathizing with each other. *shrugs* For me, I'll only tease the people I know very well because they know when I'm not being serious.
Secondly, all the conversational random spam and off-topic chatter is accomplished a just as well by visiting #gotwoot on irc.
I can't say that I've really noticed a big difference in the amount of flaming that goes on in the forum since the inauguration of the flame pit. If anything, a decrease in flaming likely correlates to a decrease in forum activity in general here. However, it gets a fair amount of posts and activity, so if you're measuring by sheer statistics then you might say that it was successful.
I suppose it's because in order to go with the flaming, you kinda have to actually know people here. o.o
I get what your saying but guests can't post anyway so why not let them just enjoy the entertainment.

She's talking about herself, not guests, isn't she?
I think I started arguing/debating with Abdula right away lol (not in the flame pit though) I don't think you really have to get to know people here to talk to them.

yeah what Sapphire said. XD
I dunno. It's probably just me. o_o I'd rather get to know people before I joke around with them or it gets awkward.
I think we need more controversial subjects to talk about, or subjects that matter more to us. Discussing whether or not masa looks like a piece of sh*t, or trying to figure out why DB_Hunter was being a douche, those kinds of subjects don't require much thought or elaboration, and end up becoming one-liner spam fests. While those are fun, they get old when every single thread degenerates into that.
For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?
So do you have a subject we should discuss? We could always revive the abortion thread.
Well really if you want to get to know someone the best way to do that would be to interact with them. Besides like Ani says the flame pit is rather tame and none of us take it seriously.

No, because we don't all care about the same stuff. Given that most of you are young and inexperienced, you're not going to care about a lot of stuff that might preoccupy someone older or wiser like me. We also don't have the same interests beyond anime, but since there's already discussion threads for anime, we talk about them there, but we're not allowed to flame there. For instance, I couldn't care less about abortion, but I could talk endlessly about hockey or Japan.

I'm pro-choice.
I see your point. Forget hockey though hockey isn't a sport. The only real sport there is, is football. As far Japan yeah there is always material there but that really is getting old.
That made me laugh. On a side note I get the feeling that we'll all get warned for off-topicness next time Masa shows up.

Yeah you're right. There should be more random/diverse threads in there, so it's easier for people to post. o.o
Don't get me started about hockey in Japan. Actually, I watched a Japanese hockey game on TV when I was there. It was weird. There was so little emotion, except from the two or three white guys, whom incidentally, I recognize from their days in the NHL. How can you really play a rough sport like hockey when the guys are so congenial and amicable with each other like the Japanese are? It doesn't really work. There was little hitting, definitely no fighting, but they were somewhat physical and very celebratory when scoring goals. It really defined sportsmanship in ways north American hockey can't. But NA hockey is far more entertaining.
