History
Between January 13-18, 2006, the entire forum was recreated manually when the software changed from Web Wiz Forums to phpBB. The Flame Board was created under We Don't Care at this time. Its presence was influenced by a sub-forum of the same name in the Free United Club of Kids web site, where several CES Staff were also members.
On October 7, 2009, the Studio tab was reorganized. By this time, the web site was a commercial outlet for VaultWiki, and the existence of the Flame Board was deemed to appear unprofessional. Thus, the Flame Board was removed. Although previously created threads were merged into its parent forum, now called "General Questions and Discussion," there was no longer a place where users had permission to post hateful messages.
