I don't know about you guys, but I can't think of a more useful community project than FFW. We get to huff huge amounts of crappy articles without having to wait 24 hours, which sounds like it could really benefit the site. So, I was thinking we could clear the list and start forest fire week again for August 16-August 23. What do you guys think?

   To be honest, I think VFD is working just fine. I also think the shitfest of crap articles we had in 2005-2006 has been sufficiently decreased and doing another Forest Fire Week would probably result in several "not topnotch but still okay" articles being deleted. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 17:36, 8 August 2010

   I'm kind of frustrated at the slow pace of VFD lately, and I thought this would be fun. Also, lol at the WOODBURNinator voting against. Saberwolf116 17:39, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

   We just came up with a new 24-hour rule on VFD because articles have been deleted too fast. And now you want to speed up the process? Forgetting, for a moment, the shitstorm that would come from this, the timing of this makes no sense. On a side note, we delete WAY too many articles as it is now. But that's more of my own personal opinion. Woody On Fire! Talking Woody Stalking Woody 17:48, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

3. Nah I'se agree with Woody. The 24 rule helps in several ways, the categorizing and saving of good pics for one, and in a forest fire the deers with temporary limp ankles will get burned along with the deadwood. Aleister 17:53 8 8

1. FOR!!! Come one, come all! Watch as dozens of forums are started to protest the deletion of articles no one's read in years! Watch user talk pages fill up with bitter insults and accusations of favoritism and humorlessness! Watch people leave the site in a seething fury! Watch the admins opping and de-opping each other while scrambling to deal with their newly-found mandate to crawl up each others' asses and die! Watch us slowly try to piece together the wiki for the following six months! FUCK YEAH SEAKING!! pillow talk 17:52, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Just because you don't read something in doesn't mean others don't as well.

I know you're all newfags but really

It's called Vigilance Week. It's like FFW, but it actually improves the site rather than arbitrarily deleting articles for no reason. Or you could just rewrite articles without needing some incentive. Just saying. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 12:01, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

For some reason I though that was what Forest Fire Week was referencing, probably because the last Forest Fire Week actually happened before I was around and V week was proposed as an alternative to it. V-week it is! -RAHB 04:12, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
