I don't know if this was already suggested, if it already ha been you may delete this.
Anyways:
I think a debate section should be installed in the forums. Yes, I know Res has an "Off Topic." Section but, it doesn't seem like a stable place to hold a debate.
In many ways, I've seen that many of the older users enjoy debating. It's also a great outlet for rants about a certain topic or to just type how you feel.
Debating can also be a way for users to adapt to one another and get social with the Res civilians.
Suggestions/opinions?
Do you agree or disagree?
