"The grassroots support from the SG message board has been fantastic. Those fans have managed to keep Spider-Girl alive. They never gave up on the title. Not even when Marvel canceled it and told me there was no hope of ever bringing it back. Spider-Girl lives because of her fans!"

And one day, Peter just stopped caring about Flash because he has more important things to do obviously.
If Flash has been badly treated, it was during Jenkins' tenure IMO.

You could have thanked him for throwing Flash like an old sock right after Spectacular Spider-Man 6, when he didn't need him anymore. (Flash just made a cameo during the "Queen" arc for the rest of his run)
With less issues, PAD didn't screwed at using Flash and other supporting cast characters.
