I'm not sure whether I should post more to this group or the main site. I guess I'll focus on the main site for now and gradually shift over to this one, assuming we get enough people to make it interesting.

So far I just invited the people on my allies list. I plan to invite some other people shortly.

I guess we'll just see what happens.

Use the debate star to cross-pollinate your debates so they'll here on seriousbusiness and the main site.

Debate star? What's that? I don't see it anywhere...

P.S. Is there an option to turn off the 50 character limit?

I really like the idea and I'm sure if it picks up more steam, I'll be using it more and more often, but I don't know about everyone else. I'm not sure how many people would join and I'm also not sure if it would last for months to come. =/

Side: Might not last

It'll all depend on how much people support it.

If nothing else we can use the debate-star feature to filter out the lame debates and have a view of just the good ones here.

"The Best of CreateDebate?"

Good idea, although I'm pretty sure if a debate is on both the main site and seriousbusiness, any member can post on it and the arguments will be shown here as well, and then this group really isn't filtering out the "extra" arguments, the silly, stupid, offensive, or spam-ish ones, so there should also be exclusive seriousbusiness debates that don't allow for the less-than-serious responses of some of the main site users.

Hey I like this, I don't mind frivolous debates every now and then, but when I am feeling extra serious I can just come here.

Side: Gradual shift

Boy I sure don't get the way this stuff works...I'm at a loss here. Why can I not go to my debates and then the general debate section at will. And why do I always end up on Jess's page?

Each community is like a whole separate web site. You can't easily move from one to the other.

I think you may be confused by the logo. Both the cat and the CreateDebate logo are part of the same image, and clicking that image takes you to the serious business front page.

I've never found my front page again not even when I click on the open star and include the debate on my psych page. The logo never comes up. I give up on this.
