Now the site's creator has posted this:
I've been thinking. Should we set up more VS forums, such as ST+SW vs Halo, or something like that? Not only would it provide a lot more options for debate, but it would give both sides a place to cool off and actually anylize something without wanting to rip each others heads off, and maybe even allow the two sides to agree on something.
Also, we may just take down the main site for now, since it is way to vague, it was merely meant to be a placeholder so we could get the forum up (warsies, please don't take this as a concession, since all I want is for us to be able to agree on something without wanting to kill eachother). So, what do you think?
Emphasis mine.

Dispite his disclaimer, that looks a hell of a lot like a concession to me. Unless of course, he refurbishes his articles by cutting and pasting from Dorkstar's site directly. :roll:

I can't reply on that forum anymore. It says "administrators only".

:shock: The same damn thing. *slaps forehead* Its soooo amazing, the coincidence. :roll:

But be rest assured, I bet his 'little experiment' was a success, though the board will still be down. :P
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

How many times will they be scattered to the winds, reformed from the ether, scattered once again, before they get it impressed in their thick, ignorant heads - that they're wrong? Their arguments were not more stunning now as they were the last time they set a forum up. Are they so conceited to think that they're making progress?

You gents need to archive some of Darkstar's best idiocy from those threads!

I can say with pride I was the first and only one kicked out and IP banned for pissing on Darkstar and his claims! Of course, getting around their IP ban was easy, but I never bothered making a sock.

Yeah, quick, everyone find the best comments you can find and post this thread! We can review it later, pick out the stupidest comments and somebody (maybe even SD.net in the hate mail section? Maybe under DarkStar?) can stick it on their page :D

I've just finished saving every page of every thread Darkstar ever posted in. If it's stupid and he said it, i've got it.

I also saved all the articles from the main site.

HOOOOOOOOOOOLYYYYYYYYYYYYY SHIT THAT IS SO STUPID THAT BELIEVING THAT SOMEONE DELIBERATELY MADE THE SITE TO MOCK DARKSTAR SEEMS EASIER TO STOMACH THAN THINKING SOMEONE WOULD DO THAT.

You know, i'm almost convinced Narendra only put up the site in order to create chaos and give himself instant fame. I mean think about it: you don't have to do anything except write a handful of paragraphs, toss it onto the internet, add some forums and voila! Instant shitstorm.

The really clever thing though is that he basically didn't have to DO anything- debaters young and old arrived in droves, infamous personalities show up dragging their arguments with them. It was like a Trek vs Wars BYO.

Feelings of Déjà Vu comes over me. Their arguments was crushed, as they were on Darkstar's board, and they close the board down. Chickens. They're afraid to debate out in the open, it's as simple as that.

We should take Darkstar's "I never saw any bands of brightness" line and emblazon it on a banner, and hang it from our battlements.

If we had, y'know, battlements.

I doubt they went to much trouble, i've seen better sites made with FrontPage and the "arguements" on the main site where laughably thought out. It was interesting to see Darkstar in action, i'd only ever heard the stories.

That was a very poor excuse for closing down the board (and the rather meager site). Canon issues was discussed, almost exclusively, in the thread Star Wars canon policy vs Trekkies, and didn't spill over much to the other threads. Any person that was a member on that board must have been able to see that. That board had some good results, a.o. Dorkstar couldn't defend his ludicrous arguments, and IMO Vympel, Meest and the rest of you made a really good job. I'm a poor debater, so I'm glad to see that some of you was so effective.
