That the top 10 threads or so here…

Have absolutely NOTHING to do with martial arts, much less TCMA?

It has completly degenerated into a generic social and political discussions forum.

I’m not saying that I no longer intend on posting, but I’m going to look for another forum; one that has actual discussions about TCMA.

I do believe that many of us are at fault here. The constant flame-wars, the bickering, challenge-matches, political threads and discussions regarding girlfriends and women are most likely the reason why many other ‘good’ posters appear to have left as well.

Something to think about.

hey, I made a Sonny Chiba thread !
And add photos of semi-naked babes to divert the yang energy in hostile threads, if that isn’t TCMA nothing is !
:smiley:

Your point is well made though, forums love drama, they are their life blood, believe me, I know that for a fact.

I am not sure where you have been, but the Kung Fu forum has ALLWAYS been the general topic forum. Originally it was where the likes of Count Dante and Ashida kim got bashed, then for a long time it was where MMA guys bashed Kung Fu, now the old timers are pretty board because we have already discussed every possible martial arts topic there is, 100’s of times, so other topics come up…which has allways happened to one degree or another.

If you wish to stick ONLY to martial topics, there is are a bunch of other sub forums here, each devoted to a specific area of martial arts from Qi Gong, to Shaolin Kung Fu, Mantis and even MMA. Just cruise those.

And if it makes you feel any better, I deleted my “Bush Family Finances” thread because a certain sub group here just cannot stop arguing about the same nauseating nonsense; so that is one less for you to complain about.

Do you realize this thread has nothing to do with CMA?

NO. You are wrong in this case. Allow me to point this out to YOU;

Kung Fu Forum
The flagship discussion roundtable of Kung Fu Magazine, open to all topics related to the Chinese Martial Arts.

Does this look familiar??

Where does it say that this is a good place to discuss 'Bush Family Finances" or “UFO Stories?”

YOU RD, are also a NON-TCMA poster on this forum.

I’m not saying that people left becuase of you, more likely, people left because of the recent flame wars with 1bad65 (?) and Rudy, Green Cloud (And a long list of adverseries including myself) etc.

None the less, if this board wants to come back to life, it needs to lose the sappy discussions about anything OTHER than martial arts related topics. Post whatever,…just make sure it has something to do with TCMA.

Werd..

Yes..lol.

But it is in the best interest of the forum IMHO.

How about…

“CLF is the source of republican corruption”

See? It’s related to martial arts. :slight_smile:

Curious,

When have you cared about the best interest of the forum?

Lama seems to gets lots of marketing time over here so don’t worry man, your bases should be covered.

Marketing? Are you suggesting that I am using the forum to turn a profit? LOL, that’s rich.

I have never enrolled a student or earned a dime from this forum…not that I wouldn’t like to…just has never happened.

And why would you assume as to what I believe??

And DRAKE…I knew that, or something like it was coming, lol. Touche.

Nope. Your saying that. I just said it gets air time.

there

11

has there ever been a discussion about creating an off-topic forum? that way everyone is happy? i always thought it was kind of funny that the “kung fu” forum was the OT forum but where else would we put the non-sense?

12

YOU said “Marketing” time. What are you suggesting by saying “Marketing”?

If you were quoting me, you should have been able to answer your own question. If I said I felt it was in the best interest of the forum IMHO, then I’m OBVIOUSLY concernced with the best interest of the forum. I had just said it. There. Right there.

SINCE WHEN? You asked?

Well, at least since I wrote it, so your question should have been answered right then and there.

If you want an actual DATE as to when I FIRST were concerned about the best interests of the forum, well then - you should have ASKED that questions. And in case you do..I would say…sometime in early 07. I hope that helps.

:slight_smile:

Oh please… :rolleyes:

Like there’s never been a flame war or an OT topic here. Big Deal.

If “people” are leaving its their own damn fault for being lazy and not adding anything. “People” have been “leaving” for years. If it wasn’t the MMA is king rhetoric in the early days to the TCMA is an antiquated dinosaur by the so called “modernists”, it was being bullied off the board by any number of groups who just felt like it. . Theres always something to piss people off.

Also, why bother talking about TCMA? Its been systematically demonized on this particular board to the point that its just a joke. And that is PARTICULARLY the fault of the people here.

I think that is a good idea.

Anything I can do for you, my kung fu brotha!

Now, if you posted a clip and said " Learn this and all of the ancient secrets of Lam Pai for only $29.99!", then you’d be marketing. I don’t post my stuff because it’s embarassing…lol

16

I think that is a good idea.

I think a better idea is to have a smashed Tara Reid take a steaming horse sized crap on a kwan-do and then perform a dance routine to Juke Box Hero while holding it over her head.

We as an audience can throw slices of serrano ham at her ass and see if we can get her to spill the dookie on the floor. Whoever gets her to drop the scat first wins a dirty sanchez from Abel.

For the 1,000,000,000 time, this IS the off-topic forum. The other forums here are focused on specific topics. This forum is for community interaction and networking.

If you don’t like it, exercise your free will.

Free will has nothing to do with martial arts…now, kick that tree before I kick you!

Wow. I actually don’t even know how to respond to that. It takes a special type of person to come up with that scenario. :slight_smile:
