I don't think he was, hence DS's editing of the original roast thread.
WOW ok I dont want him roasted LOL thats fun :(
Well, this isn't working out so well either so far.
Did you talk to Demon before duplicating his thread? It's still the best form of flattery, but...
And I personally have come to the conclusion that this place is not right for this kind of humor, although it's a classic theme I'll grant you.
I'll let this sort itself out for a while. It's Christmas for all of us. But I'll be back to make a decision on it.
OK I have one PM so far and BTW if you don;t want to be roasted..... Its christmas........ You're of the hook.
I think it's because we're not quite sure of what constitutes a flame, and what would be considered a roast. What I'd consider some good roasting lines would be under someone else's definition of flaming.
Well we are going to do it not in a mean way but just normal and wierd type thing..... I will go along with it and be nominated to see what its like.....(maybe) its that we are doing this for fun and not to be mean on purpose.
Well can't we think of another fun thread to replace this one with? roast a forum member it does sound barbaric and cruel and not in good taste.
Well yes it ws demonheros but its not on the front page(old) and kinda failed(no offence)
I'm supporting this thread through thick and thin. Not because I think it's a good idea; I have a completely neutral stance on it right now. I just like anything that lets me freely insult people.
Its not often I quote myself.Quote:

The community is the ones who need to participate in a thread like this. You can't simply take an idea, and make it magically work.Quote:

The difference between being roasted and being flamed is two-fold:
1) It lies in the intent of the roaster to have a little fun and encourage some laughter, while not trying to hurt feelings.
2) It lies in the ability of the roastee to laugh along and not get hurt feelings over the comments made.
Therefore, a roast is perfectly feasible IF the person doing the roasting is well-meaning and the person being roasted is agreeable to the process. For example, I point to the "If the mods were in an alliance" thread. A good chunk of those posts were roasting others.
"Wildor has left the alliance." "Wildor has joined the alliance." -teasing Wildor for resigning as a mod, then returning to modship.
"Can I help?" "Is there anything I can help with?" -roasting me for sticking my nose into everything and also refers to a couple private conversations I had with someone.
Heck, most of that thread is a roast. And it was HILARIOUS and taken well by all. That right there is what we'd love to see, although I'm not sure this "roast thread" is the proper process to bring it about.
Of course, a lot of my "Top Tens" were also gentle ribbing of Mods and Reps. And fellow members. So of course it IS possible.
Tell you what folks. I'll close this thread for needless duplication, and let the original run it's course for a while.
