Thanks Leaf. Everyone get in there and nominate! This will be a neat event.

Please read the Article Guidelines as they apply to pictures (it gives you instructions). No, the authors do not have to take all of the pictures. But, you will have to tell me where you got them, so that I can look into it. Thanks for the question. Everyone else: You can now submit your articles! We want to build up a database of articles before we start, so we can keep updating. So the sooner we get a bunch of (maybe 15 or so) articles that we get, the sooner we can officially launch this feature. Thanks.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Thanks.

Hmm... that isn't your old username. (You just signed up for it. ) What was your old name then?

It'll happen eventually. This thread shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Well, its gone now.

Hello everyone. I have made the Articles forum public. Please start to submit your articles as you complete them. Please read the Article Guidelines fully. http://www.karateforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4831 Thank you... I hope that this feature is a success.

I changed the stats page a bit. http://www.karateforums.com/forums/statistics.php Refined some of it and added a new category - Most Active Topicstarter. Thanks.

50 is a little much. I could probably do it... but in a watered down way. A bunch of people on my buddy list more or less. Lets just do it naturally.

Oh, monkeygirl, ending two weeks ago I was ill for a month. Hope you get better. Phenomenon, J. 20 just isn't that much, it needs to be upped.

Welcome.

this?! We need to set a time and all be online to change that stupid line, I am getting sick of reading it.

Sure, we could try that.

There is no strict schedule. However, if we don't get at least 2-3 articles each week, the feature will cease to exist. I am confident that it will be a success, however.

On the issue of payment, this is a volunteer position. You will not be paid. The benefit that could be received is the experience of writing, if you wish to pursue that field. Besides that, there is nothing that I can offer writers.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Great.

I decided to combine the Feedback forum and the Announcements forum and just make it one big forum full all stuff KF! Thanks.

You can put anything that you want.

Well, as I said above go ahead and get started. I'd like to get to a point where we'd be able to make a new article available every two-three days, right from the start.

I have added a small, but nice, new feature. In your profile editor, you can now list the Styles that you study and they will be displayed in your public profile. http://www.karateforums.com/forums/profile.php?mode=editprofile

KickChick, Yes, some of your posts could be articles I imagine. Maybe you want to take them and adapt them to an article format and add a little to them. Kensai, Hmm... maybe. Who is your Sensei? Someone of prominence on an International basis? National basis? How many 2nd Generation Masters are there? You could PM me these details. --- Also, if anyone out there has an idea for an article based on what I have said, please get started. You will need time to write your article, reread it and make it perfect. Thanks for the positive responses thus far.
