The debates are half the reason i come to this site, sometimes its very fun to read

As long as it doesn't get overly hostile and/or stupid I have no issue with it really, I'm all for taking part in a reasonable debate in fact. The problem is online debates going in that sort of direction is very common and reading those kinds won't do any good other than potentially some entertainment value.



“Online debate is the most useless activity you can possibly engage in.”

People where debating on this site before you was birthed. They’ll be debating on his site long after you’re rebirthed.

I also disagree with this thread.

VGChartz was founded in 2005. I've been around for longer than that! Not by much... let's just say I'm older than WindWaker in NA.

and to his point, i remember online debates about windwaker like it was yesterday. i was involved in those debates myself, and yes as you could probably guess i took the side that it looks like a baby game lol. my opinion on it has tempered slightly since then.

If you don't enjoy it, ignore it. A few years ago people were complaining that one person was posting too many threads... ...so he stopped and the place suddenly felt flat.

The site is the people here, for better or worse. Let them do what they want... As long as it's vaguely on topic of games and hardware, it should be fine.

This is exactly right. The site is the people. There are things that annoy me about users all the time and i already know I'm insufferable, it is what it is. We are an ecclectic group that all have one thing in common, we love this site and this is where we like to do our thing. Lol

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Sorry, but it's inevitable. People debate all the time.
