They say that they are all set as far as volunteers and donations of items, not discouraging anyone from doing so, it is still a great thing and appreciated. They said that they are more looking for $$$ donations. If you feel that you may want to donate some money, even $1, check out http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/paypage/PKAXFNQH7EKCX/ref=gw_redcross_1/107-4979783-6895722 where you can donate any amount of money that will go to the Red Cross to help rescue efforts. Thank you.

One thing people can do to help and be patriotic is to just spend the same as they normally do. If you were planning to guy a car - go ahead, etc. If you are in the stock market, hold onto your stock. I won't say to buy any, but just hold onto your shares. What we saw today was the institutions killing the market. Myself... I went ahead and bought a CD as I planned to and I also renewed two domain names. And I am not going to be selling any of my stock anytime soon.

Glad to hear it.

I agree. It is a shame, a real shame that there are very many people out there that want to give money and be so generous and then there are these people saying they are part of the cause when they are only trying to make money and swindle people out of money. It makes me sick. Like Jerry said, what goes around comes around. What these people do is unspeakable, at least to me, and they will get what is coming to them. Thank you.

Thank you Warlock. I am going to close this topic for now, since this isn't a very positive thing for us to discuss. Thanks.

Except me.

Thank you Rush and Karateka. Moobrack... Anything is possible, with the gradual growth of the site and emergence of technology there arises an opportunity to advance.

Thanks.

Our new forum is now in place! There are many little changes that you will notice. From different looks, to small functions. Here are some of greater note: New PM Inbox If you go to your private message area, you will be able to delete multiple messages and see of the first lines of your messages and then you can click on it and view the whole thing. E-Mail Thread to a Friend On each thread, you can now in a few seconds, send whoever you want, a link to that thread. Print Thread When you view a thread, you will now see Print Thread, near the top. This will give you a more printer friendly version. Cookie Improvements We now have made it, thanks to my friend Tom, so that you will stay logged in for a period of time, instead of having to login every time you come to the site. Thanks!

I agree with KickButt. BTW, did you see the vote for the House (or whatever it was) where there was a vote to give Bush permission to use force and do what he feels is neccessary? The vote was like 420 to 1? That 1 was a lady from California. I have to say that its a shame that that individual cannot see what has to be done here. She probably just did it to (a.) gain attention or (b.) she doesn't like Bush. Either way, it is not good when just one person does that, because it looks like we may not all be united in the same goal!

Yes.

In the next couple of days we will be launching a newer forum with new features. This will enhance the KarateForums.com Forums and I hope that you all will like it. After it is launched, I will post a list of new features of note, there are a lot of aestetics mostly, but there are some new features also. Thanks.

Sorry, accident there. Now go over to that thread, sorry. http://www.ifroggy.com/karateforums/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=729&forum=9&start=45

Lets keep this discussion over at the first thread. http://www.ifroggy.com/karateforums/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=729&forum=9&start=45 Thanks.

Or if you want, you don't have to buy anything and you can go to Amazon.com and give a donation. Either way.

Thank you. We all have our own beliefs. So, I like it when we all just state our own, respectfully, and keep our comments of others to ourself. My own belief here is that this is a very serious act and certainly an act of war against my country. We should and have to take care of whoever is behind it.

Don't do that.

That wasn't really neccessary, but ok.

Please remember to remain civil and abide by the posting guidelines while discussing things like this. I realize that this is a hostile time and that most of us, including myself, understandby, especially us in the US, are on edge a bit right now.

~ Moved to Karate and Martial Arts ~ No big deal, I misread it also for a minute!

Definitely not too young! I'm only 16.

Welcome.
