What can we do to get new members?

Agreed!

What can we do to get new members?

Have current members stop harassing other members-esp new ones.

Feel free to PM a moderator if you feel harassed or threatened...

Tant01, excessive force, chalambok, tim mousel (there is a debate to weather or not he is a real person or just a random code error)
and myself.

[Rickster]

Thanks, and noted. Though I am not one to complain, just leave. Just like businesses, I dont bother going into details of dissatisfaction.

[Hardball]

Dang, I didn't know Ghost was a moderator.

[Bjjexpertise@be]

Boycott Ghost as moderator!

And the forum moderators are;


______________-

Wonderful people.

[Ghost]

This forum has very little censorship at all. And there is even more political discussion going on at Sherdog. They have a "war room", apparently.
The reason traffic is down is just the times. People are busy working more.

that could all be over by the end of the next week.

[Tant01]

News to me too...

Dang, I didn't know Ghost was a moderator.

Neither did I?

Why Your Martial Art Sucks

I don't mean to re-derail the thread into another TMA vs. MMA debate, but some of the discussion in this thread reminded me of a post from a couple years ago, on another website, about "Why Your Martial Art Sucks".

Why your martial arts sucks: - No BS Martial Arts

Now the author of this post obviously wrote it with tongue deeply in cheek, but the serious points he makes are pretty spot-on IMO (not that I'm qualified to have an opinion on many of the arts in question). The author is, however: he has an extensive traditional and modern martial arts background (black belts in judo, sambo and TKD, and the equivalents in various kung-fu systems), and he has also competed professionally in MMA.

(Apologies if this link has been posted before -- if so I need remedial training in search-function-do)

Nice link. Guy seems to have he shit together on current systems and how they train.

[Tant01]

Smells like.... BS to me.

His JUDO sucks...

I wonder if you'd ever find a link on that site directing folks to a thread on DEFEND.NET?

Smoke screen...

A straight question that I would like a straight answer to. There have been several allegations that things are not what they appear to be here, that some people are not who they say they are.
I would like to know what happened to every single one of Mike Brewers posts (yes, I just noticed they have all been removed and his user profile does not exist anymore).
I would also like to finally know who Matbla and Dick Hardman really were. And I would like this time, to be able to ask these questions without being banned.

I think everyone who has wasted time making posts on this forum has a right to know these simple things. It might help build the trust level back, and help answer the question as to what we can do to get more members.

Okay... You want the straight poop? Some folks are paranoid and smoke too much weed. Whoever thinks someone is pretending to be another member needs a reality check. The IP's have been cross refrenced and double checked and members and individuals with multiple accounts are known to the administration. That is all.

Mike B is gone. He has moved on to bigger and better things. Get over it.

Dick hardman was banned for posting lewd photos. He returned repeatedly with new user names and now we filter prospective new members in our efforts to prevent spamers and previously banned members from getting on the forum. We're not perfect...

As far as I know Matbla is still a member. He is who he claims to be.

Any MORE questions? Send a PM.

Thanks kindly,
