Bears are powerful members of an online community or forum, and are usually very knowledgeable on certain subjects. They can often get annoyed at people new to their forum, because they don't have the same level of respect or know-how. The term 'Bears' comes from the popular welcome to new members of an internet community, 'Don't feed the bears'. A bear attack is when a Bear decides to flame a less important member for little or no reason.
