You have to understand, that can't be the activity that sustains the site, and it can't be the crowd getting catered to, right? You were around at the time when a bunch of SDTs were done. People got burnt out on them very quickly. They aren't some automatic saving grace. They can get boring. New things are being considered.
Personally, I'm not fond of the the list, and I'm bummed that wrestling is winning, but there's a couple of wacky ideas, a couple of unique ideas, and a classic idea. That's really not something to poo-poo all over. Neither is having to wait at least another few months.
Also, people come back for tourneys. It doesn't need to only be active people. Look at KoV and QoV, those were two tournaments side by side, and did fine. 16 - 32 people split up between 2 tournaments is not that unrealistic.
Having said all of that, I am not against an SDT at all. It could be fun. Though, I don't understand the aura it's kept.
It's such a horrible list of ideas, it's hard not to argue against it. An SDT is an infinitely better idea than any of these, and I think that's the biggest reason it was brought up.
In all honesty, despite my arguing about having an SDT over those other ideas, i think the best choice would be an Invitational. Get more people now, and follow it up with neat stuff lined up for next year to keep the people around.
