Welcome.

Well, we are getting very close to nominations, so I am going to close this. Thank you for the suggestions.

Whew! We're back up. Sorry about that, folks. Took much longer than expected. Because of the size of the site and the databases (like 1 GB all together, I believe), we ran into some unexpected (obviously) trouble. But, it is all settled now. Let me know if you see anything wrong. Thank you for your patience.

Hello, We expect to have a bit of expected downtime on October 19, in the afternoon. Hopefully it won't be more than a few hours, but it could be longer. Thank you for your patience.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Hello, I thought'd I'd bring this back up for everyone as we're not too far away from getting started. Thanks.

Hello, Yes, yes, ladies and gents. It is that time of year again. We are but a few weeks away from voting in KarateForums.com Awards 2004. Between then and now, we'll also be holding a nominations period. But, before we get going, I just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions, mainly for new categories, but anything is fine. Last year, we had 5 categories: 1. Member of the Year 2. Staff Member of the Year 3. Funniest Member of the Year 4. Thread of the Year 5. Article of the Year 6. Funniest Thread of the Year We'll be using those again, but are open to new ones. Please make any suggestion that you may have, if it is for a category or even something else - I want to hear it. Thanks.

Hello, We have just made a small, but notable addition/clarification (something we've already been enforcing) to our User Guidelines. It is in bold. Thank you for reading.

Moved, thanks.

The addition of many members certainly did help, but every user plays a role and they all add up. Without the continued participation of old faces, the addition of new faces wouldn't have put us this high up. Thanks.
