Poll

What do you think of micro debating?

What do you guys reckon?

I thought it was going to be instantly called out as an april fool but a load of people are enjoying posting and continuing still after it being outed as an april fool.

No, think it's being taken down in a few days.

I just personally wanted to see your opinions tbh.
We should definitely keep it, but make it physically impossible to go past the 140 character limit.
What called it out as an April Fool for me was the "lacking context or relevant examples" part of the forum description, I knew even TSR wouldn't be encouraging that seriously.

Interesting. Could be done probably if there was a longer need for it.

It did actually fool me. I guess I just didn't think about it too much but it is quite silly really :tongue:

Yeah, that phrase was written by me as a 'clue' for the people paying attention, I'm glad it worked :biggrin:

(It was also meant to be a dig at Twitter for being an inferior place to have a proper debate, but I doubt that came across quite so well :p:)

I didn't even see it as an April Fools; I thought it was just a good new idea :dontknow:
I thought it was a good idea. There need to be more debates in it and it to be physically impossible to pass the character limit

Why not keep it? I stand with many TSRians when I say "KEEP IT!"

Please keep it.
