WELP, bummer about debate closing. I've been terrible at actually contributing to the forum for awhile now anyway. I've been working on a computer ~6 hours per day so I just don't find the energy for it.... maybe my fingers are just tired of typing. I know there were a few posts that I've been meaning to reply to for weeks now and I just can't convince myself to do so. It would've (would still) be cool to engage with some of you in a more verbal format because my voice never seems to tire.
To actually answer your question, though... nowhere for now. This was nearly the perfect place for discussion back in the day because there was such a diverse but almost universally restrained range of views. The closest thing I can remember to that was the forum for Dan Carlin's Common Sense podcast, but I'm not sure if they still have a forum there. Have you found anything yet?
I don't actually know what a Discord chat is. Can someone fill me in?
It's a chat method not unlike Skype, Slack, GTalk/Hangouts, etc... No video chat (as far as I can recall), but there is a voice chat option in addition to the normal group speak. It's often used by the video gaming community.
Which is why I'd like to gauge interest for a clan thread for debate forum alums. Allows us to keep the debating going, does so in a more conducive manner.
Actually based on one of the suggestions from another member of this site, I moved to financial website to discuss/debate.
I could never find people with sufficient financial expertise to challenge my ideas here. Even if I was wrong, the other party could not clearly point out why. I figured, if I'm going to debate, why not channel it into something more productive.

Of note, the Admins have discussed this and we would not be in favor of this. We would encourage you to instead look into a Discord or Slack or other offsite communications method for your debate discussions.

As a former mod, can I ask why curse is hellbent on killing debate?

The Debate community here is older than this website. It was a coherent group from at least 2002, and was one of the first and most enthusiastic groups to move to MTGS when MTGNews collapsed. I should know; I created the Debate forum here.
I don't post here anymore, and I don't know if you care what I think. But to treat them like this is shameful.

Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.

That's a good thought. I suppose it would be within the rules?
Yes, though it does sound potentially less effective than a discord.

So just to gauge interest: how many would be interested in such a clan thread for debate purposes?
One can only hope that debate and arguments don't flood to other areas of this forum after this change.
My Buying Thread
I know. It was almost like Debate was as aggressive as the Rumor Forum used to be.

Same general reasons debate itself was killed. Clans also does not even have a dedicated moderator at the moment so it would be even more exacerbated.
This was not a decree that was passed down from Curse.
