If someone has a burning issue they want to settle, then hell, they will post it in the Lounge. The Debate Section will just make a load of useless topics and will die in about 3 months.

But if you can keep it going, good luck to you.

And you define what's posted in the Lounge now as useful?

I think bringing it back would be a very logical decision.

Good point as topics in that section are getting weirder

Bloodyhawk · 05-20-2008

Yes, get the debate section back please !!!

The Electron Zone · 05-28-2008

The debate section will probably consist of:

Politics
Views
Crime
Wars
Issues
etc.

This isn't a "Politics and Society" forum, if you're looking to talk about that, join some shit like the CNN board. The fact is, the Lounge exists solely to adhere to topics like these, because they are rarely expected, and does not consist of the need to get specific. People don't join a forum named "MyFavoriteGames" and get pissed and leave when they're not reading about Hilary Clinton's latest upheaval of shit. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but MFG is in the web, not the web in MFG.

The thing is that there's not enough serious discussion/debate topics to merit an individual section. There's maybe...5-15 a month, if I'm thinking correctly, and generally only 1-4 of those last for even a week. There's 22 of you that have voted for the debate section, but I doubt that more than ten of you even participate in the discussions now. Unless there's a huge surge of successful debate/serious discussion topics (I'm not talking about news/vent threads, I'm talking about the actual debates), the Lounge is sufficient. Even in the event of a steady line of successful debate topics, the Lounge is still sufficient, but at least then you'll have a valid reason for a debate section.

A debate section is a great idea.

Masked_Felix · 05-28-2008

-_-; Oh, is it, now?

SSJBulma · 05-28-2008

Yes and I have testimonials to back that up.

Masked_Felix · 05-28-2008

Testimonials that it would be a great idea, or testimonials that it would be active?

The Electron Zone · 05-28-2008

Well serious discussions are usually considered Debates and other non-serious can be taken to the Lounge

That's exactly the relationship of the Gas Chamber and the Lounge now. Partitioning off the Lounge into two sections, Serious topics that aren't debates or arguments which is what mostly takes place, and all of the actual debates into a sub/other forum, is going to do nothing but spawn a stillborn baby. It may kick a few times with the rush of members creating topics about anything and everything to administer CPR, but within a few months, it will have worn off and the place will be minimally active.
