A sub-forum for more general vs. matchups

I hope this is the right place for this kind of stuff. If not, just boot it into the appropriate place.

In any case, i have a suggestion on improvement. I've been thinking about posting it for quite some time now, but so far i've decided against it, mainly because i doubt it would get much support. But i guess there's no harm in suggesting it, so what the heck.

Why not make a sub-forum for vs. debates that include other franchises then ST and SW? I know some have been using the "Other" sub-forum for this, but that seems to be more of a general "other stuff" forum.

The reason i'm suggesting this is because i think the newbies to this whole vs. debating thing (like me) aren't really all that hyped up about stricktly debating ST and SW. Frankly, they're starting to get a bit old and done to death. Which is also why i think SB.com vs forum is so much more lively then both the forums here and on SD.net.

Any possobility for this kind of thing?

My understanding is that as long as either ST or SW is involved, then the Trek/Wars section is the place for it.

Hm. And here I thought we just had a low population and not much PR.

I have to say I initially considered that, then decided I wanted to try and maintain focus and "other" would work well for a good catch-all - but there's nothing fixed in stone about what forum sections I have here.

Anyone else have anything to say about this idea?

I think people have suggested something similar to this already. I for one wouldn't mind seeing the "other" section divided up into different catagories. It worked well enough on the old ST-V-SW.Net and STrek-v-SW.Net forums.

I'm for it. I wanna see a thread for a Vorlon versus a telletubbie and one for a dalek sans armor versus the vancom lady.

I'm also reminded that this, as a forum suggestion, belongs in the technical discussion section, i.e., "About this forum."

I'll create a section for VS and "about" (i.e., technical analysis) discussion not impinging on Trek and Wars momentarily. Point out any threads that ought to be moved.
