I say eliminate it entirely.  People that get their panties in a wad over words on the internet, need a break anyway.

You're both right; there are plenty of people here with testosterone that wear panties...all the more reason to restore the old pit!

I come here for information and entertainment. I rarely participated in pit threads, but was always entertained by them. I vote to restore the pit to its former glory.

Now that I'm drinking again, it seems like a really good form of entertainment!

Meh, pit never did much for me and more often than not seemed like a dick measuring section of the forum but it has some funny shit and if we can have titties why not have some hash it out threads.

The pit didn't work, it was a shit show that some found entertaining.  If you think it provided real solutions you're delusional.  As for the democracy part, if GoatBoy and JLA decide they don't want a pit anymore, then it's gone, we have no say in that unless they allow us to.

Of course, if they also decided this forum is now going to be dedicated to dildos starting to today, we couldn't stop it either.







It would be silly for them to do that, just like it would he silly not to at the very least take the now 300 votes for the pit to come back under consideration.







The pit did work, you are only viewing it as  a place for resolution, and while it was that. It became a place to vent about other members in a controlled manner and realise pressure from arguments had in other parts of the site.

There is currently 2 call out threads for an active member who is being accused of child rape.



This is dirty laundry that should need to be posted in an open, cached portion of the site.




If the pit was restored to its old glory, a thread like that would have a venue. One that wouldn't come up in a Google search.

Its been nothing but butthurt children calling for bans of others because words hurt.

It became Arfcom bullshit college safe space but the easily offended to try and silence opposing thought. Granted many they were being complained about were grade A        dickslaps, but nonetheless some folks grow some fucking balls and accept others don't think like them.

Bring it back. Give the members a place to vent, instead of having that shit spill over into GD. If people don't like it, then they don't have to click on it.

This is GD, I think the ratio may be backwards.  

As far as the pit goes, I personally never had much use for it.  If you can't express yourself within the COC, your ability to write is pretty limited.  The best insults are supportable by facts and can objectively be proven true.  
If the mods are willing, (Ed Sr and 40 XB IIRC) reopen it.

Bring it back. If only for the occasional times some poor sod would accidentally post a non-pit topic there.

Never posted in the pit but it was nice to have the option there-and some of the threads were pretty good to read as a bystander for entertainment value. I personally don't notice the lack too much, but don't see the harm in bringing it back, the way I see it people posted in the pit because their feelings were hurt, so why worry about hurt feelings? Bring it back, add a rule or two and see how it goes.

This.

If it was used for people obviously lying about themselves, aka outing fakers, then sure it would be cool.

But trolling folks just enough to get them into the Pit, so you can attempt to ban them because you don't like them?  Yeah, no.  That's just sanctioned Dave_A bullshit.

I voted for the old pit to return, if for no other reason than to give a space where the shit can go down and it won't disseminate throughout other threads.  When things start to go hot in a thread, you can tell them to take it to the pit and that should absolutely be the end of the shitting in that particular thread.
