Hello and welcome, Ravman! Patrick

Welcome aboard, FeralFrettchen. Glad to have you. Patrick

Hey all, Just wanted to share with the community that I'm a Dad now. On April 20 at 9:33pm, Patrick James was born. Kara and Patrick are both doing great. Here's a relived me right after delivery: http://www.karateforums.com/img/photos/patrick-and-patrick.jpg And a close-up: http://www.karateforums.com/img/photos/patrick-james.jpg As always, thankful to our team here for keeping things running smoothly. Thanks, Patrick

I have to apologize for the typos in this post! First, the incorrect member name in the subject, then saying that DarthPenguin had been honored two other times. Sorry about that! It might have happened anyway, but we were headed to the hospital the next day for the birth of our first child, so that may have played a role, too! And once more, sorry for the delay in updating the errors. Congrats again, DarthPenguin!

Hello, Thank you for visiting KarateForums.com. We recognize one member every month as the KarateForums.com Member of the Month for their positive contributions to this community. Our honoree for April is... DarthPenguin! Congrats DarthPenguin! Thank you for all of the contributions that you have made here since joining in December. Thanks, Patrick

Sounds like mostly good news here. Glad to hear it.

Ha.

Hey Bradlee. Welcome to the forum, and congrats on making your way back to karate!

Sorry for your loss, Sean.

Congrats Ashley. Patrick

That's annoying. Hope tomorrow goes smoothly for you. Patrick

Hey tubby, happy you decided to check-in. It's good to hear from you. Congrats on this huge milestone! Sorry to hear about your friends, though. You're right - it really is a nasty disease. Patrick

Happy April Fool's Day! https://www.karateforums.com/april-fool-s-day-karateforums-com-vt55284.html Patrick

Hey all, Unfortunately, we won't be launching KarateForums.com+, a new streaming service. But honestly, it doesn't sound like a bad idea, right? I thought our programming slate looked pretty interesting! Thanks to the staff for feedback on the idea and especially to Noah (Wastelander) for show suggestions and letting me integrate him into one of my show ideas. Hope you had a fun day! Thanks, Patrick

Congrats Questor!

Note: This was our 2022 April Fool's Day joke. Hey all, Big news! Today we're excited to announce KarateForums.com+, a new streaming service that will bring you exclusive, unique martial arts programming, grounded in our community. Here's what you can expect: http://www.karateforums.com/img/photos/karateforumsplus.png Among the shows in our launch lineup will be: Breaking/News: Daily show breaking down the biggest martial arts headlines. Way of the Keyboard Warrior: Limited series digging into online discourse and the tactics that we use online to avoid and deescalate encounters with "tough" citizens of the internet. The Legend of Bob: A documentary about the legendary martial arts training partner. Karate Obsession: Based on his website of the same name, our own Wastelander will host this weekly series digging into martial arts concepts, myths, and techniques. Behind the Post: Have you ever wondered about the stories behind your favorite KarateForums.com post? Think of it as "Behind the Music," but for our community. And this is just the start! We'll announce additional programs as we get closer to launch. If you'd like to be notified when we announce our launch date and open for signups, please reply to this thread, and you'll be the first to find out! Thanks, Patrick

Congrats!

Our pleasure!

Thanks for getting back to me! Patrick

I'll just ask the obvious question, haha. Do you prefer Tim or Tyler? Patrick

Love the update. Glad it's going well!

Very generous of you, aurik.

Hey Tim. Welcome! Glad to have you.

I went ahead and split this off into its own thread! Looking forward to getting to know you, 9StepHEN. Welcome! Patrick

Note: We just noticed that this thread had a blank title because of a glitch with the forum software. Sorry about that! I have fixed it now, which should make it accessible to more members, and I wanted to bring it back up. Thank you for your patience!
