Patrick

Happy belated Thanksgiving everyone.

As far as the site goes, we were fine up until when I left on the morning of the 27th and we are fine now, on the evening of the 30th. So, between that, I wasn't around.

I appreciate that, Laurie. This isn't saying you can't write more, it is just to have one (somewhat) concrete day and then you can pop in another article when you want. Looking forward to getting started. I have just one more thing that I need, but I set up a bunch of things last night, so I am basically ready (except for the one thing) on my end. So, maybe we'll just go with 3, if no one else steps forward.

So, no one else then? Really, it isn't a hard thing to do. And I'd love to have a couple more. Thanks.

I just wanted to bring this up again, as we need two more to get this rolling. Thanks.

Indeed.

This is one of the low quality topics. Oh well. As far as who started the most topics: http://www.karateforums.com/statistics.php 1 Patrick 335 2 KickChick 150 3 SaiFightsMS 124 4 MuayTB1 119 5 Eye of the Tiger 99 6 koreantiger81 92 7 Jack 87 8 moobrack 76 9 TKD_McGee 73 10 Angus 71

I appreciate the thought.

I've used a digital camera a couple of times, but the batteries were rechargable.

Thanks.

I just thought that I would mention that we have passed the 5,000 topic (thread) mark.

I am moving the website from the http://www.karateforums.com/forums URL to http://www.karateforums.com. This has a handful of benefits and needs to be done. There may be dead links... and dead images around, but we will get them all fixed. If you see anything that isn't obvious, or isn't fixed in a few days, please use this thread to report it. Thank you.

(Yeah, I am posting this a day early, because I am not sure if I will have the chance tomorrow. ) November 21, 2002 marks two important events. KarateForums.com is exactly 18 months old - 1 1/2 years ago exactly, I launched this website. Patrick O'Keefe (me ) is exactly 18 years old - 18 years ago exactly, my parents launched me. So, there you have it. 18 months online. 18 years on Earth.

If you would like to talk sports in a more sports enviroment (you can talk about it here, too of course), you may want to check out http://www.sportsforums.net - which is a "sister" site of KarateForums.com.

For the record, no one has to start writing until we actually get 5 people and I tell you to go. You can write whenever you want though.

Great. Sunday, Tuesday and Friday gone. 2 more needed.

Yeah, that's great. For a moment, I thought you had gotten a perm. As in a hair treatment. Then I read the whole thing. Saturday and Tuesday taken. So... need 3 more people to step up. Thanks.

Also, if anyone is so inclined, we'd be willing to publish Martial Art walkthroughs here, in our articles section, which is hopefully soon to launch. Thanks.

Hey, We'd like to get at least 5 days covered. Today I spent a few hours and got a new frontpage all setup and ready to accomodate articles. So, basically, I'm ready. As soon as we can get at least 5 days covered, we'll launch. Karatekid, as I said, that'd be great. We'd love to have you write as much as you want, for the sake of the organization, please pick a day (just not Saturday ) when you get a chance. Thanks guys.

Welcome.

lol, thats fine.

First of all - thank you to all of the people that nominated and voted, the process doesn't succeed without you. Also, a big thanks to LeaF for helping to inspire and process some of this. Everyone that was nominated should be proud. Being nominated is a great accomplishment. Congratulations to you. Now, for our winners: http://www.karateforums.com/forums/awards.php Member of the Year: Kensai Staff Member of the Year: KickChick Funniest Member of the Year: monkeygirl Thread of the Year: Respecting Younger Instructors - Started by monkeygirl Funniest Thread of the Year: MA Goofs & Blunders - Started by KickChick Congratulations to our winners.

That'd be great. As I said, if we could get one person on each day of the week that would allow for someone to maybe miss their turn once or twice a week, so this is a commitment, but it isn't life and death, if we can get 7 concrete people... it'll work nicely. Pick a day.

I am going to make it visible myself instead of letting it do it on its own. Lets say a few hours. Gonna get a few things ready on my end. Thanks.
