Hey all, Going back to the beginning, we have celebrated and noted the half birthday of KarateForums.com. Today marks 11 and a half years that we've been online! I'd like to take a moment to thank all current staff members for their efforts in helping to keep this community on track, always in pursuit of our culture-based goals that speak to who we are and the level of discourse that we aim to facilitate, which is based on respect and civility, above all else. Thank you Heidi, Brian, Danielle, Alex, Bob and Ev for everything that you do to help maintain this reality. Sincerely, Patrick
