Great neologism for the forum.

Good luck--lots of neat things are in the works!

Hmmm. What is the "MartialTalk Network"? Sounds interesting.

I must say...the "new look" for the homepage is very cool!

I'm actually in the process of revising that section. Its evolved a lot int he last 2 weeks.

A couple of things.
Its a loose 'alliance' of complimentary sites, whose members will help each other problem solve and improve their sites. A few ideas in the works right now are:
- Sharing of problem users / banned user / troll info across many forums.
- Web Design issues for MartialArts sites.
- Resource sharing and content feeds.
- A high quality link exchange/web ring (Sites must meet certain standards for inclusion)
- Professional networking for martial arts webmasters

And some more stuff soon as we figure it out.

Very cool idea. Sounds kind of like the Star Wars "Rebel Alliance", only for MAists and computer dudes/dudettes.

 

[Bob Hubbard]
