Debate board?

[nfs924]

I think it would be cool if there was a debate board here on the forums. After the recent ps3 vs 360 topic, I think a debate forum would be awesome for video game talk, and current poltical issues, etc... Post here if you agree with me.

The problem with a debate section is you don't know what topics will turn into a debate. So you'd either wind up having a lot of topics moved to the debate section or they'd just continue in their original section making the debate section unnecessary.

As far as having a place to discuss politics, I don't know. I've seen other forums that have had that and it can get pretty messy. Plus, this is a gaming message board, why not just leave it at gaming?

I agree with Elf. A forum is, more or less, a debate board. All the threads and topics can ultimately turn into a "debate".

As far as politics, I say no way. I don't want my video game site to turn into a smoking heap of crap because of the offense some people tend to take when politics are involved. And, that includes any other topic that doesn't have to do with video games. Gaming industry only.

Agreed. No debate board. Not going to happen.

[Cyguration]

I second that motion.

Ok ok...what if the debate board was limited to video game debate?

Isn't the whole message board technically a debate board? Really, every topic has the potential of becoming a debate, therefore why have a section solely devoted to debates when that's what the entire board is?

Lies. Deep inside, you always wanted to ruin his dream of having a debate forum.
