I guess we should just get rid of the VG Vs., on that logic.
Yes.Or admit that having an vs anything forum isn't that big of a leap.It realy isn't.How can we have a potential match up such as Spider-Ham vs Doomsday,yet we are prohibited from some truly great matches that could come from an anything vs forums?

I don't see what the big deal is. I mean, "vs. anything" forums work well in every other forum on the damn planet that has them.
The only problem I see is that the existing Mods don't want to have to go through the trouble of moderating them. However, I think that if the current Mods don't feel up the task, why not just promote some of our senior, respectable members to do it?
Or at least do a test trial, have a Vs. everything forum for a week and observe the results, then form conclusions on how much trouble or lack there of will be started.
I agree.Their are plenty of good members out their who would probably moderate a vs anything forum rather well.

Star wars is a long running comic book series, why can't it be posted in the Comic VS forum?

Because it didn't start as a comic.

What he said.
The first Star Wars comics appeared in 1979-1980, 2-3 years after the fact. Published by Marvel, if I remember correctly.

Being as all of the versus forums have rules in place that state that something that's in that forum must originate in that format, no, SW should not be allowed in CBVS.

I think you will find that measure extremely unpopular. Patrons of the current vs. areas are very much attached to them and do not want them merged into one big 'anything' vs. area.
It also breaks the community spirit of having all related areas together (Comic Book vs. is part of the Comic Book areas, SW vs. is part of the SW areas etc.) which does not work well.

Or it simply serves to strengthen "community spirit", as the spectrum of whom to debate against generally broadens and the fans are forced to defend their own turf with greater zeal. And really now, a versus where comic books are pitted against Sci-fi generally works fine, by means of measurement of power levels.

There are pros and cons here both sides have a valid point. I personally would like a vs everything forum that will finally liven things up a bit giving new options for most of the forums that have all but ran out of good ideas the biggest problem with this idea is regulation

That hurt Rex that really hurt.
Anyways I think that an all VS Forum would be a really hard thing to accomplish. Many people would make stupid fights but then again a lot of people make stupid threads no matter what.
Giving an all VS forums a test run though isn't a bad idea. A lot of people getting together to share ideas and feats of characters. It could work..
I say you would still have to keep all the individual VS Forums though just because people with like interests would still want to be able to be a in place with just their interest and have the ability not to worry about other people joining in when they don't want to.
And Lana as for the rules each separate VS Forums use they are in many key aspects very similar.

I know they are, when one of us makes a rule change we generally let the other vs. mods know as ultimately it'll effect all three vs. forums, plus sometimes we like to steal each others rules

Sorry, I realy don't agree.
It would be forced amalgamation of communities that do not want to merge. They are very distinct and it would be a mistake to mess around with that.
