That's precisely the problem.Idiots get too far into real world physics that it actually becomes pathetic. Or they say "So and so could beat The Hulk if they just dodged all his moves and then did loads of stuff to kill him.".
You could say that about anything. Doesn't mean it'll ever happen.

Nah, it's not. This is.

Yes, but when it gets to the point of stretching ideas of how Rogue could beat Hulk to the point that they're thinner than Calista Flockheart, it's time to stop.
When you are using extreme, real life physics to tell me why Storm could beat Dr. Doom or The Hulk, it's time to stop. The answer should be, to any logical comics reader; "She just couldn't.". End of story.
That's like saying "But Iraq could beat the U.S in a war if they killed all their soldiers and conquered the country.". Yes, it'd work, but it just wouldn't ever happen.

I will say this on the matter of the Comic Books VS Forum. There is a reason why it is its own forum. It is its own forum because it gets a lot of attention. Why because a lot of people are interested in the topics at hand. If this wasn't the case then it would not be its own forum.
As for it being worthless and pathetic. I think that is a point of view. Most of the people I hear saying this are people that do not post in it a lot of the time. The reason is because they do not find it interesting. Therefore to them it is a waste but for those people who post in it most of the time, they do not see it as a waste of time.
I honestly do not see a problem with a bunch of people getting together to debate and chat over topics that interest them. That is what is also done in the OTF. It is also what is done in the Video Game Forums, Movie Forums, RPG Forums, and every other forum that graces KMC.
Now as for the the trouble and reports that comes from the Comic Vs forums yes there is some. The fact of the matter is that most people on that forum that first join are either A) recently introduced to comics therefore are going on much limited information or B) are really young people. Now of course these characteristics can lead to many troubles.
What you do not see though is that many of these trouble makers eventually become very good productive members on the forums. This coming from the maturing of age and the gathering of more knowledge. Many of the members myself included will eventually go on to branch out into KMC becoming much better members.
I can use myself as a perfect example. I found KMC through the looking up of a particular comic book character. I was quite naive on some points but eventually though I would branch. I am now currently invloved in Three RPGs. I have made many friends on this site including Moderaters. On the comic book forums I like to think I have become a decent role-model for newer posters.
I am just one example there are far better debaters on that forum then me, far friendlier people I think, and even far better supporters of KMC then myself.
I like to think that the Comic Books VS forum is a pretty good forum. Some would agree some would disagree that is their opinion to have but the fact is that it wouldn't exist if it was all bad.
Thank You for your time

I don't think there's so much a problem with the forum as the members that post in it.
As a KMC member who more or less became known there first, I can actually speak of the decline better than most people, because I arrived when it was at its peak. Then the Vs Forum came and it was good, because there was still a level of acceptance, with some threads not even being given the time of day if they were stupid.
Then people started playing devil's advocate to stupid levels and it cause the aforementioned dumb threads to get undeserved time. Before anybody knew it, the forum was full of it.

Many of the talks that I've gotten into that go over the fact that character A can not be B is what would it take for A to beat B and knowing that the likelihood of that happening could only be in a What If. Much the same as many of the Religion, Philosophy and GDF are a bunch of what if type questions.

Now you got the fan boys that take it to mean that it would happen that way but that is another topic all together.

Well then you're lucky.
Some of the debates I've had in there are truly ridiculous. "Storm could beat Doom by making a whirlwind in his heart.", "Rogue could take Hulk's strength.". Yes, take those ideas back to retard-ville or wherever you got it from. So many people have debated against me by listing ways in which a character could beat whoever I was defending, and it's exactly like the Iraq Vs U.S example I gave. It just wouldn't happen.
Then, people like that get praised for "Knowing stuff.", when the stuff they know isn't even relevant.
I even saw a Peter Parker (No Powers) Vs Clark Kent (No Powers) thread. What is the point? Normal man Vs Normal man. Might as well just have a bumfight.

Well hang on, Newjak.I'm defending the Comic Book Vs Forum by concept, not at the cost of denying what a shit place it is, due to the members than now inhabit the place and the "rules" they've laid down.
The proof that it was once successful and enjoyable is what I am defending.
-AC
To me it is still successful and enjoyable. 😛
