Serious forum, strictly no off topic bullshit. Serious discussion is something seriously lacking in these forums most topics last a page until they start going off about ducks named dick.
Discuss.

The living room is meant for that. And if you open a serious topic, people tend to stay serious in it ;)

Uhh...no not really. Not at all. It's not long before we degrade into name calling and attacks on my mother. :problem: I guarantee you if I opened a topic for a debate about gay marriage, it'll turn into an attack on my sexuality. I support this suggestion.
I do stuff and break things. You know how it is.

This is a company run user forum for a piece of software. The Living room is a high maintenance area, and they are very kind to keep it around for us. We might as well use what they graciously give us instead of asking for the moon on a plate.


And speaking to Sonic's post, I would appreciate it is someone did open a serious discussion on marriage equality. If it isn't done soon, I'll do it myself. I want to see someone even try and have a discussion about it. :twisted: Because there's no discussion, just religion foisting rules on how other people should live their lives.

Unless somebody actually moderates it frequently.

If this is a forum for the use of a GAME why should it matter if the forum has enough off-topicness and deabte topics? But although i would love a debate forum...

Good news everyone! I support!(Bonus points if you read this in the professors voice from futurama)

Childish comments aside, I think this is a nice idea.
I do agree constant mods would be needed though.

AFAIK you can have mods that can only moderate certain forums in Phbb3 forums, so we could have a "Part-Time" Mod force.

I think this is a good idea. I'd love to see a forum section for debates and 'serious talk'. But I agree with the others, it would need to be constantly moderated!

Obviously you guys missed Link's post... Ya know, the one where he pretty much said "no way, the Living Room is enough of a pain in the ass already."
