Okay, what's with the flames? How do you get "flamed" and why
Can someone explain it to me please? I have asked the question by posting the question in threads and it's never been answered. Thanks for the information.

4. ROFLMAO - love that example!
I don't think this belongs in this forum, it will probably be moved!

11. If you like, alert mods to move it
Harmless distractions are just that, harmless. It is in the wrong forum though.

2. HOT HOT HOT
Flames come to a topic when it's "on fire"... or, in other words, when a lot of people are responding to it...

9. No, the poster is partially correct.
When reviewing the forum index, the hot topics do have flames. But to be flamed is to be attacked. Flame bait is a thread created just so that personal attacks and hate posts will be posted and created, a post designed to anger the majority of DUer's.

8. yes
But I'm not sure if that was the question - I thought it was about the topic with flames on the icon but I could be wrong.
