I know the idea was initially shrugged off because people would get too fiery - but I think now that the forum has clearly shifted from Role Playing primarily and General Discussion secondary to the reverse, I think this idea should have serious consideration once more.
With the forum's activity waning week by week, this forum could potentially bounce it back up purely because of one thing that will never change: we all have opinions on everything. Sure we have some threads at the moment for current affairs (and some even attempted fiery topics a while back if I recall) but no set out debates.
Heck we could even make an activity of it, have a weekly professional debate, two teams of three, debating on a set topic, with someone such as Rive - who always has a level head - being the adjudicator.
Now, there's always the customary risk of flaming, which would require moderation - heck, the moderators don't have much on their plate as it is, it wouldn't be an issue - and I just think its an interesting idea for a forum, that should at least be thought over before dismissed once more.
And yes, like Sideshow Bob pointing out the irony of spelling TV's demise on TV, I too realise the irony in prompting a debate over whether we should allow debates in an official sense.
