I think that "flaming" on a forum is when people deliberately say things to wind others up, so the flame pit would be where there is a section of he forum we go just to "flame each other"
Don't see the point as it seems that we already do that on the forum and most have enough humour to laugh it off .
I think I was a member of the old forum but am I right in remembering that I had to re-register for this new one - I have long since forgot my old name - had the bike since 2001
