-Better stipulations: We need more versus threads that involve twist instead of the standard one on one versus.
-Better Discussions: Too many debates turn into flame wars, and there were just too many fanboys at one point. Honestly, one of the biggest problems when it comes to discussions and trust me I should know since I've done this many times is that people just simple answers.
For instance, how many times have you been in a forum where people just say there characters win without explaining why? By doing this we handicap any form of a serious discussion.
-Less Spamming: There's been a ridiculous amount of spamming lately on threads, and they simply kill discussions
etc. . .
I'm waiting for Shin Remy to help me with idea's because he feels the same way.
I really just think the whole vs. thing is past it's heyday...
The greatest thread of the lot was the old epic Samus vs. Master Chief thread. Most viewed it as a serious debate and it was dozens upon dozens of pages filled with proper point-counterpoint discussion. Just doesn't seem like people are into it enough for the same thing nowadays.
Well said, I also feel it might be because of the games that are out now. Honestly, many of the new games that are coming out aren't memorible like games of old. Really, who's going to make a versus about CJ or Tommy Versiti from GTA?
Most of the populated threads feature game characters from old franchises, the only exception is Master Cheif and Kratos.

Here you go. 😄 I was just looking at it myself. Man, some of the things said... There's serious debate in there, but it's punctuated by several less professional arguers, as well.
