We Echo On (add-on/alternate universe)

The topic should be purely SW related, nothing to do with eachtothers forums, or the like.

I also agree that the Admins shouldn't be involved in actually debating. This should be something for the users.

Anyway, anyone else got any SW related questions to be debated?

Possible topics:

<LI>Gungans Vs Ewoks: Which is better?
<LI>Was the second Death Star necessary?
<LI>Empire Vs Rebellion (naturally)
<LI>Anakin: Should he have been forgiven for his deeds as Vader?
<LI>Sio Bibble: Friend or Foe?
<LI>Should EU be considered Canon?

Just a short list

How about one of the hottest topics on any of our sites?

Does the EU stuff count in the SW universe, or is it only the movies?

"Should EU be considered Canon?"

If you got me in there, we'd be at it for years

Guys, I think this might be a bad idea for us right now. Especially with some of the anti-TFN rhetoric (albeit very localized) starting to die down. That said, I don't have a problem with the folks at Jedi.net at all, and I'd love to see us do something *else* with them. I just don't think this promotes the kind of relationship that we want to develop with other sites right now. We've talked it over among the TFN staff and feel like it might cause too many problems. Of course we can't stop anyone from personally participating in an event, but we just can't officially sanction it at the moment. Thanks for your understand folks!

Oh well. There you go. I accept that decision and concur that it is most likely the best view of the matter.

We could call the debate "Nerd Wars 2000"!

IWMIL- Why, will you be participating?

The key to most successful debates lie in more than just the topics and debators- but the moderator. I agree that we must establish a neutral source to moderate this Great Debate. If the TFN Staff concurs with this friendly competition, would it be possible to open talks with someone from LFL to moderate this debate? A persuasive reason for their participation would be the promotional factor- besides which, some questions could require LFL confirmation. At the very least, it would be best if a neutral moderator was found. Just a thought. This is a really great idea.

I'm amazed that we're still discussing this. It has already been shown that there is no real point to this debate thing and even if we did decide to go through with it we wouldn't be able to find anyone really capable of moderating it without bias. And the folks at LFL are probably waaaaayy too busy to modearte some kind of online debate between fans so that is out of the question.

My biggest question is why should we go through with this in the first place? What purpose will it serve and will it effictively serve any purpose??? I really habve yet to see any good reason why we should do this and so until a good reason is presented, I say that we shouldn't go through with this.
