Also, because some folks in this thread appear to want to discuss it, but are afraid of spoiling it for others, I went ahead and created a SPOILERS ALLOWED thread here, so you can go for it! https://www.karateforums.com/cobra-kai-youtube-red-series-spoilers-vt51663.html Thanks for being thoughtful! Patrick

Hey perrymour. Welcome. Patrick

Hey all, Thank you for visiting KarateForums.com. Today, this community is 17 years old. It seems like good discourse is continually under attack online. The ability to have a productive conversation, without being derailed, where people can disagree without being personally attacked, is something that a lot of people online are missing, and striving for. Even if the topic is not a hot button issue like politics or religion, this seems to have become harder and harder over the last 17 years. But it's something that we have here at KarateForums.com, thanks to a mix of amazing members and solid community guidelines consistently applied by a dedicated, thoughtful team. Those standards set the playing field, and veteran members light the way for newer members, giving them an example to follow. As my friend Chris once said, whatever a community is, it becomes more of. If we allow X, then we become X. That we have been able to create such an environment for so long is a testament to long term commitment from our community. Thank you to all of our members who help to maintain this atmosphere. If you're reading this, that's probably you! Thank you to my current staff - Brian/bushido_man96, Danielle/DWx, Alex/tallgeese, Noah/Wastelander, Bob/sensei8, Devin/Lupin1, Liam/Nidan Melbourne, JR/JR 137 and Mo/mazzybear - for their steadfast support of the community, and for the serious, considerate way that they approach this community, and the role of being a guide and moderator. Thank you to the former staff members who made a difference. The reality is that our community is in pretty rare air when it comes to longevity. There aren't a ton of closely managed, active online communities that are 17 years or older. I'm interested to see what the future holds for us, and I'm grateful for all of the members who make KarateForums.com a part of their day. Thank you. Sincerely, Patrick

Nice to hear from you, Karate4Life. Thanks for the update. Patrick

Congrats LLLEARNER. Patrick

That's awesome! Congrats Devin. Patrick
