Gaping Dragon Arena Fight Club
As discovered and founded by Myztyrio 
After much testing and multiple summonings with a friend, watergodrapture, we have found that the Gaping Dragon's arena can indeed be used as a PvP arena(much like Artorias' Arena). As such, I have explored thoroughly inside the arena, and found that it would be absolutely perfect, especially for larger fights such as FFA's and 2v2's.
The dimensions of the area that actually appear to trigger the boss fight are quite small, and appears to be in the shape of a small square or oval, next to the boss gate. The area is so small, that as long as the participants stay away from the front of the arena, there is no risk of losing the match. In the case that a participant does travel into said area, or fall into it when jumping down, the session will be lost(the host would cause the boss fight to trigger, sending red phantoms home and keeping white phantoms; a red phantom would show the death animation, be sent home, and lose nothing).
The jump itself is executed by jumping over the fence over near where the Channeler is, next to the stairs, and then quickly quitting the game before hitting the ground. If performed in time, the game will register you as having last stood on top of the fence(which is not accessible otherwise), and will have you standing on it upon reloading the game. Once on the fence, one would place their red or white sign to be summoned by a host, and then make the jump along the fence, into the boss arena. If angled more inwards, away from the boss gate, the cutscene will not trigger, and the phantom or host will be free to move about the arena.
Here is a video demonstrating how to get into the arena, featuring TheSunlightBlade:
There you go!
I am also willing to make a video myself, demonstrating exactly where to jump as not to trigger the boss fight, if needed.
If you're interested in starting up this fight club, which would be in my opinion, the best possible arena for one, please vote Yes on the poll.
Once the poll has reached an appropriate amount of interested participants, I will create a signup list and we can decide upon a day to commence.
If this arena grows enough in popularity amongst the forumites, I will enforce it as a weekly or bi-weekly club, and will add new hosts to the list as necessary.
