[edit] "Permanently discontinued"
This sentence is incorrect. Although bowen's announcement of 2002-02-04 was significant in that it lead to popular support for the off-campus Bonfire, the University has never made a permanent decision, but merely held that "any...change in the status quo regarding the future of Bonfire would be inappropriate while litigation is still on-going" (President Gates, 2003-02-26). (Not that I've held my breath for the lawsuit to end.) DanBishop 09:00, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Memorial explanation
I think that it would be good to explain the significance of the memorial design elements, but I don't remember well enough. I think that the structures each represent one of the deceased, and placement is significant (but I don't recall if it represents where they came from or where they died).
Also, the memorial link is now redirecting to an unrelated page.
- The portals are placed in the directions of the hometowns of the deceased. 70.241.18.202 05:31, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Memorial Info
I don't have the time to add all the info, but here is the url.
[edit] Old Bonfire Pictures
This article could really use some pictures from pre-'99 Bonfire stacks, just so that people will have an idea of the size of thing. Best would be non-burning pictures. Unfortunately in my time at A&M I didn't have a camera and so never got any pictures of it, otherwise I'd put up my own. - MordredKLB 23:19, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Time of 1999 collapse
There is some debate as to whether stack fell at 2:30 or 2:42am. This is a rather trivial matter over which to have an edit war. I suggest we state that it fell "between approximately 2:30 and 2:42am." - Raetzsch 22:01, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] UT Bonfire
I am removing the section on the UT Bonfire. I think it is out of place in this article about Aggie Bonfire. If there is interest, the section could be expanded to talk about other school bonfires in general, as I know smaller-scale bonfires are popular at a lot of southern schools around Homecoming. In the meantime, I did add that info to the Hex Rally page because I thought it fit there. I've been debating whether we should have a See Also link to the Hex Rally page anyway, but haven't been able to decide. Comments? Karanacs 18:08, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
