Hey everyone!

Given the uncertainty of this website's persistence (we are still working on getting access through the site owner, but we can't be sure that will happen), Mikal has spearheaded an effort to gather members of the DART community and the former DDO community onto a discord server called Debate Craft. As some of you may be aware, efforts to code a new site are ongoing (massive thanks to Savant and David in particular for their efforts) and this is part of that effort as well, as this will be a place to document your debate history and apply it going forward to the new site. It's not just for debaters, but given that this is a debate site, it is a major focus of our efforts. If you are interested in being a part of this or just want to be sure that you can still be a part of this community should DART go dark again, please go ahead and join the server and provide your insights on the process:


If you do join, please click a role in the "Welcome" channel for full access to the server.

It will mention it in the discord as well. If we need to launch the new site we are looking at giving credit for DDO debates and Dart debates so you retain the effort. Please post your records on the archive debate channel and if you want to save your debates make sure to web archive them in storage as we can add this to the site at some point as well

Is this both a repository for old DART data and a new hangout site? Or just the former?

I’m sending it all members and encouraging them to join. The idea is to gather debate records and give people credit on the new site (if we don’t get access to this). It will be for DDO and Dart and any debates that are verifiable. Doing anything with this site is largely not possible unless David gets full access but the upside to starting a new one is enough core people are involved in it, we never risk it going black again. Savant and Bullish seem willing to greatly assist and confirmed with savant he is staying around for the foreseeable future so we also have the ability to code and add new features. 

Also if it’s launched, I plan on marketing it to other debate communities and doing some grass roots invitations to try and get more people on it so the community is more active.

Keep in mind the entire Dev server and feedback from the community is also there to add to this. So it’s a community effort. We just need to get everyone into one place so we hold onto the members we have in case we have to launch.

I would be careful trusting them. There are also debates especial rap battles I wish do get expunged completely.

I was demonic.

Going to be self reported and then it will get reviewed. You don’t have to bring anything if you don’t want to drag your records over. Giving credit for what people have did and archiving what they want.

This is kind of like what I heard about Airmax. 
Mike is operating a similar way. 

Despite his absence and silence on this, I do believe this site will sustain a while longer. Though we can’t be sure. 
Savant, David, and Mikal showed a sample of their site’s rough draft. The template has a vintaged, old school theme. Yahoo Answers at its glory days.

Yeah it’s functioning for now. Which will allow for debates and forums but now that bullish and savant are both looking at it, prob will tune up pretty nice. Savant did a months worth of work in a week or two. Ideally we get the site passed on and this is just already set up to maintain but there is also a high possibility this just goes dark. Either way we are covered and have an approach to take

Dont worry, you are not an important enemy for anyone to be taking your "terrible demonic posts" from past and post them on discord. This is for people who want their own posts saved, and if you dont want your rap battles saved, thats okay, even tho many people liked old you much more than this new you.

Can I make discord site with completely free speech, or will discord just delete my site if too many people say n-word on it?

Discord is the only one popular as support for YouTube channel, other than YouTube community which I already have.

This is a genuine question, in your opinion if a legal immigrant or legal-after-asylum status immigrsnt opposes 1st and 2nd amendment must they lose their American citizenship (or green card if not yet citizen) and be deported?

If so, is it not the case the 1st amendment is self refuting?
