We are starting a new Burn thread since Burn is obviously an archetype that many members are interested in discussing. The old Burn thread developed into a 25 page discussion – one of our longest - within three months. This amount of discussion shows us that people love to talk about burn.

But the Burn thread is also a Moderator’s nightmare. Out of those 25 pages, there are more worthless posts, undeveloped posts, and flames than I care to count. Previous burn threads have followed the same pattern: they are heavily flooded with junk and then heavily modded. Next, they are flooded with more junk and moderators become frustrated and later apathetic and the thread spirals into a disaster. Be wary of making worthless posts.

In this new thread, please make posts that are well-developed and free of flames. Keep in mind that most issues about burn have been discussed to death. It will be very difficult to come to a consensus about the following issues and these issues will be heavily modded:
[*] Browbeat[*] Lava Dart[*] # of Mountains needed to support Fireblast[*] Fork

Lastly, we had asked for submissions to restart the thread and have received a number of quality ones. I will post them below, giving credit to authors.
