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.

We'll see where it goes. It certainly won't be the same. But as one of the mods of Debate when it closed, I understand and approve of the decision made by the admins.
Well I just don't anymore. Around the time I stopped posting here was when I just quit debating and I don't miss it.
There once was a time I really enjoyed it, but eventually it became more of a drain on me where I would put a ton of effort into research, citations, writing and for what?
I was already echoing people with whom I agreed with and people I didn't agree with weren't usually going to be convinced anyway.
Plus my wife and I just had our first kid and I felt that what little free time I had for myself was better spent relaxing and playing games over spending hours writing a response to a debate.
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed my time here and I learned a lot of things and even changed my views on a lot things - I just don't really have the desire to get into long winded debates anymore.
After a number of years away from the forums, I logged back in on a whim, only to find debate shelved?! And, I guess the vs forum must have been axed, as well
Those two subforums were among my favorites. There was nothing like having fellow magic players to engage in lively discussions on those topics

I post on Reddit, sometimes. It is a serious hivemind/echo chamber and there is no real back-and-forth debate and also you will be deluged with downvotes if you are conservative; but, it satiates my thirst on occasion and they discuss roughly the same topics.

I remember when debate was the first real forum I ever participated in.
