Hey guys,

Welcome to #Debates new blog. The blog will allow users who wish to write interesting articles on any subject do so and share them with others. It can be about anything, gripes about politics, thoughts on religion, musings about philosophy, or simple real life observations you think others may enjoy.

We’ll keep the registration open for a couple of days until the trolls find it so as to make it as easy as possible for our members to sign up easily, and then go back to moderated registration as nessecary.

Please remember to keep it relatively clean, devoid of pornographic material. We want the content to be thought provoking and challenging, but we do not want it to be crude and obscene.

Have fun everyone.
