Debate Board

[Hagred]

So this is what an adult temper tantrum looks like on an internet BB.

Interesting.

I am quite surprised that the "debate" board lasted as long as it did. There were less then a handful of people over there that understood the debate concept. Most of the posters used the forum to sling mud and hurl insults while under the guise that they were debating. Alot of them were downright mean and did not know the first thing about debating.

The true debators will of course move on to another debate board, while I suspect the rest of them will move over here and try to sling some mud. Be ready people.

I for one applaud the moderators for taking the appropriate action to ensure a nicer climate around here.

I will now go and change into my flame proof suit.

Aww, John, don't worry. Breathe in the pixie dust nice and deep and you won't need a tissue anymoe.

Contrary to what some might like to thing, for a community of any sort to grow and thrive, it has to, well, you know have somewhere to grow.

I am a huge Disney fan, but one reason I was drawn here was because it was such a hotbed for activity of all sorts... and in my short stay here, the Debate board was, by far, the most interesting on the site. I'm a regular forum junky: I'm a member of various online communities, and the debate forum here had perhaps the most well-spoken, intelligent people of any board I'm a regular visitor of. THAT's what kept me here.

I stop in on the "Disney-oriented" boards occasionally, but generally speaking, that's because I'm going on a trip in two weeks. After I get back, why does it matter after that? Why should it matter to anyone? The community board remains intact, yet it does nothing to "further the purpose" of the site... why is the debate board any different at all? I'd be inclined to think that the ultimate "purpose" of any message board is to retain a large, diverse group of people with an established sense of community... the idea of centering it around Disney is a tertiary descriptor, nothing else. We're all here, we all love Disney, but should we drop the other elements of our lives at the door?

I've been a member of GameFAQs.com for almost four years, yet, I rarely talk about videogames there. The forums have erupted into some of the largest social boards on the internet, united by a common interest in videogames... from the War on Terrorism boards, to 'Life, the Universe and Everything,' there are thousands upon thousands of members. The REASON, of course, is that most users have a sort of "forum conglomerate there:" There's not much of a need to go elsewhere to converse about things online, because everything is at their fingertips.

I think the only thing you're doing here is sending a strong message that you don't really give half a damn about the people who frequent the debate board: You don't perceive a need to have it, but I assure you, there's less of one to take it away now that it already exists.

Katerkat: I thought John was allergic to pixie dust? Won't breathing it in deeply be fatal to him or is that what you meant by not needing a tissue?

Is this

A Community Board Singalong!

the pixie dust you'd like me to inhale?

Wait a minute:

From the posting guidelines themselves...

We do not believe in censorship, and open discussions about various issues is encouraged.

Would these 'various issues' include what shade of green Tinkerbelle's dress is or how many times Scar rolls his eyes?

[katerkat]

John and Tori - please stop thinking. Just breathe in the pixie dust.

Poor Hagrid!
I'm not sure as to what you are referring as "an adult temper tantrum". HA HA HA!

If you really want to see some tantrums, read those debate threads! HA HA HA!
Now some of those could be interpretted as "adult temper tantrums"!
And I really hope our DB migration doesn't bring any problems to the CB!

HERE COME THE PIRATES! WATCH OUT!
BWAH HA HA!

Thanks.

It's that or disappear to elsewhere.

 

[DSNY FN]

Well I just started a new one titled OK Question check it out. BTW no problem I enjoy a good debate I will admit I am not the strongest person in a debate but I think I was able to get a few points across to some poeple.

 

[Pin Wizard]

I want to be able to block threads! Don't want to see the debates.

 

[DSNY FN]

Good luck Pin Wizard they are now here to stay wether the CB likes it or not.

I use to go to the DB all the time. That was my first stop, oh well. Well, I'm sure at some point this will wind up being the DB.
