About

In 1998 I founded debating.net. At that time debate resources on the internet where scattered and scarce, the goal at the time was to provide a central location for the world debating community.
After 10-years it is time to redefine the goal. debating.net will now focus on archiving the history of WUDC EUDC and a few other major debating communities and provide a forum environment for debaters.
The forum environment will be merged with debateforums.net.

Introduction

Many of the global debating sites are no longer maintained. Due to this fact I rerouted all those sites to debating.net. debating.net will combine the info from all feeds and listservers as good as possible.
