From what I've seen, the fires have mostly been lit by local kids camping out there under the roof and around the warm up bloc. I was walking in a while ago as a dishevelled bunch of teenagers clutching sleeping bags were walking out leaving the smoking embers of a fire behind them along with a few empty beer bottles for good measure.

The Frontline is has gotten noticeably more abuse in the last few years. Bouldering is getting more popular and the Frontline particularly appears to have bourne the brunt of this, receiving more pressure than many other venues. This has resulted in alot more chalk plastered everywhere and more trash left lying around. Folk do need to be aware that this is not going unnoticed and should always clean up after themselves. People also need to broaden their horizons and a realise there are heaps of blocs all over Sydney with awesome problems. Not wishing to be seen as telling people what to do, I propose that maybe its worth digging out the guide or having a look online and give some thought to visiting a different venue rather than hitting the Frontline every weekend.
