KarateForums.com Celebrates 13 Years Online!

[Patrick]

Hello,

Thank you for visiting KarateForums.com.

As a community, today is our 13th birthday. As time passes, I only grow more proud of what we have here and more thankful for those who have helped to make it happen - members who contribute in good faith and those who have joined me on staff, past and present.

In honor of this occasion, I'd like to specifically recognize two groups. First, I would like to thank all members who have been with us for more than 5 years and are still with us today (have visited in the last two weeks).

Thank you to Rateh, Zaine, wagnerk, unknownstyle, hammer, ineluki, BlackKnight, armanox, ps1, Chucksmanhood, IcemanSK, pittbullJudoka, sensei8, DWx, yamesu, tallgeese, bushido_man96, skullsplitter, defeyter, JusticeZero, ninjanurse, ShoriKid, sperki, Shizentai, GhostFighter, AlwaysInTraining, JohnASE, RJCKarate, ashworth and whitematt.

Your longstanding contributions to this community have made it a better place. Thank you.

The second group I would like to thank is those among the 100 most recently registered members who have at least one post and have visited within the last two weeks. There is a natural turn over of members that occurs with online communities. New members help this community to grow and change and become more valuable to all members who participate here.

Thank you to Mokita, samdaniels, advantageledsigns, ChloeS, karatefreak91, Sword Knight, pwen arye, millhilldojo, qamarep, Zimlock, Iskrax, tamaro, eloylb, MrNice, Archimoto and Kanku65.

I look forward to your future contributions and hope to see you stay with us for a while.

Thank you for reading and for supporting KarateForums.com.

Sincerely,

Patrick
