It has been brought to my attention on a number of occasions that there should be a forum for rants (and flamers).

This might be a good idea. It will give people a specific place to put all their crap that they want to get off their chest in, while saving them the hassle of either getting flamed, laughed at, or perhaps both.

So what do you guys think? Yes, or no?

I think it'd be a fine idea, even if I wouldn't use it much.

We do need a ranting subforum. I don't want to keep fagging up the random thread.

Sure the more the merrier.  Perhaps we should add an ice cream forum too to avoid any confusion.

Maybe Evonus is just a really big fan of ice cream?

I think those dots are showing up because someone added something to this forum's sweet lovin' that replaces the abbreviation for Laugh Out Loud with a dot.
