Will there be a subsection of MAP for the USA?

I was thinking of having a thing like us.martialartsplanet.com and other ones for specific countries. MAP is great for global but I think things should also be more localized. Just a thought.

 

Doubt it - its doing quite well with the interaction between people from across the world.

 

Respectfully, I disagree. It's called "Martial Arts Planet", not "Martial Arts Local Geo-Political Entity".

 

Why? the interwebz isn't local it's everywhere!

 

What is your reasoning behind wanting a US only page?

 

What's the point?

It's called 'Martial Arts Planet' because it's a worldwide site.

Personally, I find it interesting and informative to discuss things with people from all over the world.

 

If we started a us.martialartsplanet.com, I would not use it in favor of the international sites. I like all my British pals.

 

Quite right!

I would feel the same way if there was a seperate UK site.

Half the fun of MAP is trying to wind up my American buddies!

 

If you ever have anything that you'd like to share with just us Yanks, just start your thread title off like this: "'Mericans Only: <title of thread>".

That way, any ferners (that's foreigners to anyone not from 'Merica) will be courteous enough to not butt in.

 

I see that I am widly disagreed with. Also I wasn’t thinking an "American Only" what I meant was a place for American martial artists can meet, it was just an idea. Anyways, thank you for your criticism, I appreciate it. (No sarcasm, I like to be disagreed with in an intelligent way)

 

LoL - I love it.

"Mercins only: <title of thread> (no ferners)"

 

If you mean for organising US MAP Meets, that's been done successfully through the main site before.

 

Even better when you know what a Merkin is

 

Thats what I was really trying to get at.

 

I now have to go and wash beer out of my keyboard thank you

 

A US only group would exclude me from ever making a US meet. so maybe it's not all bad

 

I think a bunch of us going over for a US meet would be a great idea! May need a LOT of discussion just to decide on a date, but it could be do-able(?). Summer 2009?

 

As noted before I would like to meet up with some of you guys in the USA. I am currently residing in New England and would love to meet some of you guys. As I said, I hope this is not in the wrong section as I like to think I have good forum etiquette.

My idea would to rent a convention center and have people donate their time for seminars and such. This is just an idea, as I can't really do much on my own. I wish I could go to the 2008 meet but I'm thinking its not going to happen (Ok, no chance).

Thank you all; you guys are an awesome community

 

Dang they tarred and feathered you Mr C

I qutite enjoy being wound up by the people across the pond
