You see, we love debates. There is no discussion without a difference of opinion. However, all that we try to ensure is that the debate stays productive. No personal attacks, no profanity... so on and so forth. We don't want a "Would Chuck Norris kill Bruce Lee or what?" type of thread, which is what the other one was becoming. "Chuck would beat him." etc. We don't want to see that. Comparing the differences between fighting styles and between arts... weaknesses and strengths... can be a very interesting discussion indeed.

Welcome.

Discussing the difference in styles between Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris is acceptable.

At the top of the page, you can see "You Have 1 New Message," if someone has sent you a message and you can also set it in your profile so that you get a popup when you have a new PM. I am going to close this, but we'll leave it here. Thanks.

It appears that we made a slight mistake and removed some posts by accident. Here they are in no particular order. I apologize.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Not a problem. Thanks.

I have now added Styles hack to the Profiles (and now: to view topic!). This makes the upgrade complete. However, there are probably some bugs, so please do report them. Thank you.

Fixed. Thanks.

Thank you. I will look into that.

Sure, go ahead, Kirves. Photo Album is back online.

No problem. Yeah, of the opportunity presents itself, I'll try to bring it back.

Most of the upgrade is done. You may find a couple new things, but they are pretty small. One benefit of this will be the users who were having problems on AOL, those problems may stop. I do have to get the Photo Album and Styles section of the user profiles back online still. Thanks.

Thanks. I can find us a chat room. The problem is... it wouldn't be like the one we had, so it wouldn't attract people. If I find something that we can use and is what I want... I might be able to bring something back. I am going to pretend that I never heard about this tweety mask.

Welcome back.

Very old user. Good, but old and not been here for a long time.

This user has come, gone and been gone for a long time. Let's stop bumping these introduction threads for no reason, please. Thank you.

Very soon (within the next couple of days), I will be upgrading our forum software. During this time and for some time after, there may very well be some problems and some features that stop working. In almost every case, this will be temporary. At some point, I will ask people to report problems to me, so please hold any problems that you find until that point. I really appreciate it. Will there be any new features? No, not really. I plan to keep pretty much everything we have now and then there will be a few small, new things that you may notice. Thank you.

Welcome back.

Welcome.

Black Dragon, But, you see... that is always the retort when the guidelines are enforced. "We're adults, we can discuss this." No, you can't. Very few people are able to maintain the respectful tone and nature that this site demands when discussing these types of subjects. This is historically proven as we have given them every chance. Being an "adult" doesn't mean that you know how. Under such a theory, an adult should be able to follow guidelines/instructions. You didn't. While I understand that there are several people who disagree my decision, it is not going to be reversed. Because of this, there is nothing to discuss and I am going to close this thread. Thank you.

Thank you for submitting the article.
