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.

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.

MK, I didn't know that. My apologies. Gene might consider changing the forum description to read accourdingly.

Peace.

Most of the most skilled folks I met on this board left a long time ago.
Reasons ranged from "I'm just tired of giving out info and getting nothing back" to "the last time I posted a theory online it ended up on someone else's website" to "just too much arguing".

For whatever reason, at some point down the road this board took on a life of it's own.
Specific people and personalities have become the mainstay of this board, not the martial arts themselves. The only way to get any of that back now is to add more personalities who happen to do tcma. Though considering that we've beat every contemporary issue facing tcma firmly into the ground, i think ma-related conversations will always be secondary.

The problem with trying to stick to a Kung fu topic, is that if you even think of doing so, the MMA junkies will swarm in and lynch you with the Awesomeness of MMA and then preceed to relentlessly point out the unlimited crapiness of TCMA thus totally derailing any positive productive Kung Fu discussions. All Kung fu topics ulitmatly disolve into the quagmire because of this.

By starting a thread NOT related to Kung fu, you can actually have a good conversation.

Wrong.

As far as CLF goes, we have very competent representatives from Buk Sing, Hung Sing, and LKH schools. Did we forget about CLFNole, Sifu Frank McCarthy, a student of GM Dino Salvatera, or that Buk Sing guy who went off like a roman candle when I thought his Master's nickname was stupid? How about our resident Lama Pai experts?

You are so off base here it's not even funny.

[mok]

lamapai - honestly, this forum's been that way for ages...

...maybe you'd like to join in on www.hungkyun.com?

it's almost all hung kyun, but we do have discussions on related arts, including tibetan...

[MasterKiller]

The reality is, if this board was ONLY about TCMA topics, we would have 3 posts a day. Check out any heavily moderated board, and you will see while the conversations remain on-topic, there isn't much being discussed.

As it is, this board generates a lot of traffic, which leads to a steady stream of discussion. The downside is you have a lot of crap, but no one is forcing you to click on threads about women or UFOs.

You can be traditional about it and take the punishment of the bad threads in the hope you will be rewarded in 30 years with some hard-earned, introspective truths.

Or, you can take the modern approach and only click on threads that you find useful, discarding the rest.

Your wrong is wrong.

There have been exponentially more people leaving then sticking around. If we had a tenth of the quality people that have posted here stick around, there would never be a shortage of good tcma convo on the main board.

Maybe they just decided that training and teaching was a better way to spend time than talking about it via a message board?
