This Forum Is Going To Shit Somebody needs to sort it out

I've not commented on any of this change of leadership stuff. So long as the forum keeps going like before I don't mind who is steering the ship.

However, putting Michael Jackson pictures and videos everywhere and changing the names of all the forums is just juvenile. Feels like the forum has been taken over by a bunch of kids.

It's not big and it's not clever. Whoever did these needs to loose their admin privileges very quickly. The old guard is not impressed - please stop fucking up the only decent martial arts forum on the Internet.
Please God, make my words today sweet and tender, for tomorrow I may have to eat them.

Hello Kitty was funny.

On reflection, it is April's Fools day I suppose, but I've kind of lost all faith in the new admin team when one of them does stuff like this. It's not funny, it's just annoying.

Maybe somebody should start a 'Vote of no confidence' poll? wink.gif

Would be good if the joke were actually funny.

This is retarded, who is going to take this seriously when there are pics and vids of Micheal Jackson all over? And the new titles are just stupid. I started here because people said this was a great place to learn and meet new people, too bad they were wrong. If I have the chance, I will join in the no confidence vote.

Broken rib?
Hyper-extended pancreas?
Uvular embolism?

You can PM me if it's one of those injuries.

I don't mind April Fools pranks, and it wouldn't be bad if this were at least satirical or witty.

But it's not. It's more like getting hacked. Ironic, considering all the fuss over trolling and what noobs should and should not do.

Oh, and damn you, Udel!

This too shall pass (and on a related note, gmail is rehashing an old SNL skit for their gag)

After this is said and done, can Y or Z put up some data about today's traffic. I'd be curious to see how many of the regulars stay away unil Jacko goes back to Neverland.

An old man said, "Many, tempted by bodily pleasures, do not defile their bodies but, committing fornication in thought, they are fornicators in their souls while preserving their bodies unstained. So it is good, my friends, to do that which is written, that each one should guard his heart with great care."

A nice idea for an April fool joke would have been to put up a new banner. One that is somehow controversial but not to obviously a joke. Other things would have been new colours, a new name for emptyflower or an admin who logs in as a noob and plays a troll...

I don't like the MJ idea sleep.gif

It's about as funny as a burning orphanage. The forums are impossible to navigate, there's a fucking huge video at the top of every page and a huge picture filling up the sidebar.

Pathetic.

I think it perhaps would have been better if it was not so soon after all the changes etc.
