In order to do so, you must have a KarateForums.com account that had at least 10 posts made on or before October 18, 2013 (Eastern Time). There are just two guidelines to keep in mind when voting:1. You cannot vote for yourself or an article that you wrote.2. Do not attempt to artificially inflate our vote totals in any way. This includes but is not limited to trading votes, encouraging people to vote indiscriminately (publicly or privately), mass mailing/posting and any other behavior that could lead to results being artificially skewed. Members found to be participating in these activities will be disqualified from nomination in any category. Please note that you do not have to vote in every category. You can vote in as many or as few as you would like - please go for as many as you feel comfortable with. The more valid votes we get, the better! CategoriesThe categories are listed below.

sensei8 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I would like to thank each of those who've nominated me for said categories in the 2013 KarateForums.com Awards. Each year, KF members vote for other members who they feel that are deserving of such awards, and in that, I don't go into KF year after year for the reasons of receiving any KF award. No! My intent is to just share the MA with other MAists and non-MAists alike, and at times, to just have fun talking about things that aren't MA at all.We've a vibrant community here at KF and there's no other place that I'd rather be than right here at KF. So, thank you all for your nominations, they mean the world to me. **Proof is on the floor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
