[Another Muay Thai Guy]

20 000 members, but only one tkd'y member........oh wait, damn! :D

[TheDarkJester]

that'd be one helluva get together if we somehow managed to all meet up.

Thats one helluva drunken kegger brawl :D

[Yohan]

yep, 19,999 drunken MAP members vs. manabimashoman.

[D@vid]

I saw that MAP members are going to meet in NYC, what do you guys meet for? What do you guys do? I live in AZ and I'm new to this community so I wouldn't know.

Generally, the instructors among us hold mini seminars/classes that the attendees participate in :) So basically, you get exposure (and a little bit of training) in a number of martial arts that you otherwise wouldn't be able to train in.

[holyheadjch]

does this make us the biggest MA community on the net? If not, who do we have to shut down

[Saz]

We are the 2nd biggest MA community on t'internet, according to Big Boards.com

[Korpy]

True and Congrats! :)

Though there is only one Korpy... :D ;)

[Kwajman]

Good for us. We've got a ways to catch the leader but we're way ahead of the next guy. I think I"m like number 2200 or something....

[drummerboy]

As one of the new guys, let me say congratulations to those of you who have stuck it out for years. This is a great forum, and I hope it just keeps growing! Thanks to all the mods - and welcome to those few members who joined after me!

[slipthejab]

True and Congrats! :)

Though there is only one Korpy... :D ;)

That was nurtured and breastfed on the everloving milk of martial arts knowledge from Slipthejab. :D

Congrat's on 20K members! :eek:

[samuri-man]

[jabcrosshook]

[crimsonfx]

congrats M.A.P. :D

[Saz]

There are only 3 listed though :s

Are you saying there's more than 3 out there?? My world is in tatters! :D

Clue's in the URL, they only list the big forums over a certain size. Bullshido is on there mind you, but not showing in the MA category.

[CraigLeeJKD]

20,000 members...that's awesome. There are a lot of great people on this board and I hope all the newer members get as much benefit from MAP as I have.

I truly do owe a lot of my development to this place. Thanks all :)

[CosmicFish]

I'm just wondering how many MAP members would the admins estimate are currently active? I know it's going to be a case of "where do you draw the line", but, say, out of the 20,000 how many have posted in the last 3 months?

[Sever]

hmm, an MMA message board...I tell you what, you guys take them and I'll go beat up the guys over on ashida kimWe couldn't beat up on Sherdog - the NSPCC'd be all over us for beating up 12 year olds (cue hushed whispers of "Oh no he didn't") :D
20,000 members, eh? If only they each gave me a fiver... ;)

About 5,500 have been on the site in the last 3 months. Some go away and come back again after a while - over 13,000 have been online in the last 12 months which is pretty good for a site that has been running for nearly five years.

[CosmicFish]

Wow! I expected it'd be a lot less. You know, lots of people signing up, posting 10 or less times and never coming back. So yeah, that's pretty good!

[Jesh]

Congrats to MAP.

:D

[Combatant]

I never realised so many people were so lonely. :rolleyes: :p

[neryo_tkd]

well member number 20.000 simply had to be a tkd person. i'm so proud :p :love:

[KickChick]
