Website: The Outskirts Battledome

The Outskirts Battle Dome

is an online forum group dedicated to discussing and quantifying battles between fictional characters, currently hosted on Narutoforums.com

. While several such sites exist, it is often considered to be just about the best out here. Another claim to fame is its detailed and dedicated Wiki

. The website features a lot of its own unique brand of internet culture, sometimes taken from already existing Memetic Mutation, sometimes building its own.

Somewhat notable is the amount of tropers that post there.

These Tropes Pertaining To The Site And Wiki ARE THE FINAL NUMBER:

Accentuate the Negative: Sometimes employed to humorous ends.
A God Am I: Several members claim this of themselves. At times characters that do this (or are actual gods) are used in debates.
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Happens when the thread debate is about Kaiju, Mecha, or other things of this size.
Attention Whore: A good number of them show up on occasion.
Author Filibuster: Some debaters and thread makers have this problem. There is also the practice of making spite threads.
Bad Ass: A highly venerated quality in the OBD. Most popular characters there have it in spades.
- Demon Sky Pirate Vegeta
Curb-Stomp Battle: Often, usually when someone makes a thread without knowing the full capabilities of one of the characters they are using.
Depending on the Writer: Some thread battles may be redone but with different spins on it. Take Goku Vs Superman for example.
Follow the Leader: Other Sections of Narutoforums (the site where the OBD is hosted) have wikis of their own. The site Moviecodec also did the same thing.
Doing It for the Art: As this thread shows.
Demoted to Extra: Several series that used to get a lot of attention in the OBD have had this happen over the years. One example being Haruhi Suzumiya.
Go Mad from the Revelation: Usually when a series is shown as not being as strong as initially thought, this can also happen in reverse (though it's usually rarer for the former to happen than the latter)
- The Get Backers Deception.
- Member Roman55 discovering that Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Kamen Rider Ryuki ARE THE SAME STORY (in reality, the stories are similar)
Religion: Due to a lot of flame wars, threads of this type have been thankfully banned.
Robosexual: Endless Mike. (Worth noting that it's a OBD meme)
Plot-Induced Stupidity: It's actually a term.
Serious Business: At its worst.
Take That: Spite Threads try to be this but (usually) ultimately fail.
Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: its Modus Operandi.
