Welcome to KF!

Hello, As you have a thread for this discussion already, I am going to redirect this over there and close this one. http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=19441&highlight= Thanks.

Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday.

Welcome.

Yes, I noticed one of my post missing. It was the one where I got confused and thought I was on my bank's website and I posted my credit card numbers, bank accout numbers, SSN, etc. Whew! Oh, yes. That one did get deleted.

Yes, it is possible that there are few posts and others changes that were made right before it started, during, etc. that may be lost. Thanks.

Welcome.

Hello, As you may have noticed, KarateForums.com was down for nearly 2 days. The server that we are on was breached with someone redirecting traffic to a site where you would get infected with a virus. So, if you visited and you were forwarded/got a popup window and you were not protected, you now have a virus. For this, you have my apologies. I got the virus myself. It is easy enough to clean up. If you have a virus scanner, just update the definitions and run it. If you don't, I recommend the AVG Free Edition as that is what I use. Download it, update the definitions and run it. You should be good. We should be back up now (besides a few minutes possibly). Welcome back. Thank you for your patience.

Welcome to KF.

Patrick is the name of my favorite hat.

Well, I haven't been in that situation, but people have crushes all the time. It's really not that big a deal. I wouldn't think there is anything you need to do unless he actually speaks to you about it, at which point you would tell him you're taken. It might not even be accurate. The students might not know what they are talking about.

But why but your first pack? Weakness, curiosity, poor/impaired judgment, who knows? But, it happened. Doesn't do any good to talk about it now. (It is kind of tough for me to understand as well as I would never, but stuff happens and people try stuff).

April Fools jokes can start before and end after. At any rate, that was posted on April Fools day in my time zone (just after midnight). It would be pretty hard not to have that happen as this is an international community and all.

Welcome.

Hello, KarateForums.com recognizes one member every month as the Member of the Month for their positive contributions to this community. The April 2005 selection is... Shorin Ryuu. Congratulations!

Hello, Well, time to break the silence here. April Fools! It is not (neccessarily, anyway) that we don't believe that these things could be possible (and we're not trying to insult anyone who does believe in them, etc.), but with the overwhelming voice of this community being one of disbelief, we thought it would be fun to make people scratch their heads a bit when our staff comes out and says that not only do they believe, but they have personally witnessed. Doug's part was not written by Doug, but by Rachael (I felt having a fourth name would help the article's believability ). The other pieces were written by those who signed them with Tammy writing the intro as well. So, it was a true staff article, just not a real article. Thanks.

Exactly. (And not just the martial arts, of course, everything). There are disrespectful adults, disrespectful younger people, whatever.

This thread is very old (and kind of pointless), so I am going to close it. Thanks.

Welcome.

Since the user being asked a question is no longer active here, I am going to go ahead and close this thread. Thanks.

Ok, I have a gi, a crest from parkerlineage, the certificate and the belt from Rachael. I think I'm ready to go. Patrick's Internet Dojo launching May 1. Black Belts in under 90 minutes or your money back!
