...and that would be me.

I know when you start a new thread, you can choose the message icon you want to go with it. So how come some threads have folders with flames and some threads don't??

Somebody school me on this please...

Meaning a lot of people have replied to it. I'm not sure why they do it, either, because it's pretty common for us FSTDT-ers to take threads to page #85 and still keep going.

Popular threads, those that exceed a certain number of responses as set in the forum admin rules are shown as 'burning'. This is common on most all board software, so it is not surpriseing that Pro-boards does as well.

It just means it is a "HOT" topic. Basically thats it...

That which doesn't kill me only postpones the inevitable.

It's a well-established fact that gravity is a plot by jews to get people to drop spare change.

Hey, I got my Yellow Submarine t-shirt at a Hot Topic, they're not ALL bad! (And my Ozzy shirt, too!)

Note to self -- go shirt shopping.

Ya I too have bought a couple items there. Occasionally, they have cool stuff. Most of it's junk and too expensive though.

Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about about mission statements. (From Office Space. It's pretty much my life, in a nutshell.)
