Hello, Thank you for visiting KarateForums.com. Today’s livestream wasn’t what I said it would be. That was a cover because today marks 10 years since bushido_man96 (Brian) became a Sensei, or a moderator, here at KarateForums.com. Nidan Melbourne (Liam) had the idea to surprise Brian with a livestream where we could talk about this amazing milestone and about the incredible contribution that Brian has made to our community. Thank you to DWx (Danielle) for joining me and Brian on the stream. You can watch a replay here: (please note this was very impromptu and there is some squeaking on the audio)During Brian’s time on our team, he has demonstrated a great selflessness in his efforts to help, share with and learn from his fellow members. Through his kind, thoughtful approach to contributing here, Brian has set a wonderful example for new members to follow. And if you have stuck around here for any period of time, you’ve almost certainly come in contact with Brian, as he has made more posts here than anyone else. And those posts are of a great quality. But since we are marking 10 years as a moderator, it is worth noting that, as a staff member, Brian has demonstrated an incredible consistency helping maintain the community, in a way that is both essential and largely hidden in that most members may never come in contact with us. He’s an absolute team player who really believes in this community and has helped to maintain it because of the deep appreciation he has for it. As a small token of the appreciation that we feel for Brian, we wanted to do something nice for him. We’re going to send Brian and his wife, Vicki, out for a great dinner at a restaurant local to them, that was recommended to me by their daughter, Kayla. Once Brian and Vicki pick a date, I’ll make the reservation and take care of the rest. Brian, thank you for your support over the years, for your kindness and loyalty and for everything that you have done in our community. Please join me in congratulating Brian and sharing your thoughts on the mark he has made at KarateForums.com. Sincerely, Patrick

Welcome aboard, Gus! I went ahead and moved this to the Karate forum, as I feel like it'll be your best bet. Thanks for joining us! Patrick

Congrats Bob. I picked the Cowboys and, if they won, I would have won my family's football picks. It's pretty clear the Dolphins are a big, big underdog. Watching with optimism. Thanks, Patrick

Hey redwan. Welcome. Happy New Year. Patrick

Happy New Year! Patrick

Hey all,] (Watch the livestream here: http://www.karateforums.com/livestream.php) We will be hosting a special livestream on January 4 about the future of KarateForums.com! I'll be joined by members of staff to talk about some plans that I am working on, so that I can receive feedback from the community in order to make them as great as they can be! We'll be on video, but you don't have to be. You can watch, and we'll have a chat room available to talk live while the stream is going on. You can always send feedback privately, as well. The livestream will be January 4 at 5 PM EST (UTC -5). Need help figuring out what time that is where you live? Just visit https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20170104T220000&p1=179 and click "Add Another City." Then add a city in your time zone, and it'll show you what time the livestream begins in that time zone. I look forward to seeing you! Thank you for helping to make this community a special place to be. Sincerely, Patrick
