Who is your favourite MAPPER ?.

1) - Who is your favourite MAPPER and why ?

2) - Who's opinions drive you to distraction and why ?



1) - Ikken takes it (just) over Mai Tai, Slip and Sonshu for me. The reasons - excellent knowledge of Muay Thai, tends to answer questions on the same, some harsh put downs scattered around but does not tend to get embroiled in the semantics and circular arguements.

2) - The legend that was Manbashimoman. The reasons are obvious to anyone that ever read anything he posted. I do miss him though.

 

MAPPER?

 

This thread is a flamefest in the making.

 

MAPPER as in members on martial arts planet.

My fave is the Korpster!!

Cant say i really hate anyone. I agree with timmy, this could get uuuuuugly!.

 

I'm not sure this is a great idea for a thread. I like pretty much everyone on MAP - even the people that I fundementally disagree with about pretty much everything I still repect the opinion of. And the people who post nonsense keep the place entertaining and give us something to make funny pictures of

I think the no swearing policy on MAP makes people more inclined to post intelligently rather than resort to abuse. This generally makes it easier to stay on friendly terms.

The legend lives on...

 

Yeah this thread will end in tears (Slip reaches for the tissue already )

I'd have to say Moosey or Medi are right up at the top of my list for being the most switched on... some of their posts are brilliant.

I'd have to say Matt Bernius and Ap Owen are also at the top for some of the most constructive and well informed posts I've seen anywhere. Dave Humm(?) and Stolenborjn over in the weapons forum also fit that list. No doubt there are others that slip the mind at the moment.

The people I don't care for... heh... I'm sure they haven't any doubts as to who they are - LOL! - for that matter nor does anyone who spends time at some of the BBQ's that I sponsor.

 

I'm only going to say positive things.

Sonshu and Randall have got to be on the top of my list because I actually know them in real life and they're top blokes.

Ap oweyn makes fantastic posts, and explains things very clearly, so he's on the list too, as is Matt Bernius.

Freeform is probably my favourite mod.

Medi and Moosey take the joint title for the "people I usually disagree with but nonetheless respect a lot" award.

I talk to Ad McG, SKc_wado and gojukjoe on msn and I get on with them really well, so they're cool too.

 

I probably did not think the second question through that well. Looking again it is basically an invite to slag people off - sorry. Still it gave me a chance to mention MMM again, he truly is a legend.

Looking at some of the names people have mentioned so far reminds me of just how many interesting, knowledgable and informative people post on here. I will take this opportunity to thank all those who have posted such excellent advice and given me so much pleasure when I really should have been working. So thanks a lot.

 

I havent got a single favourite MAPer - certain people can be relied on for certain things, some people I speak to loads on MSN and in Chat and know pretty well and some people I have just grown to respect. Now to start watching for your name

Aegis - who I have spent hours in Chat with, ripping religious theories and newbies ideas about weapons alike to shreads (cant forget the person who thought that sai were used as pitch-forks). Even offers to help me with my school work and Uni application

JohnnyX - not around as much now, but brilliant bloke. Some good times testing the site (bad times for HKF like ) and there was a time when every post in the Suggestions or Problems forums were by us two (I know I am still as hyper there ).

Jang Bong - Only MAPer I have met in person and a genuine good-guy. Turned up at a competition and messed around with some of the kids from the club. Still have to get up to learn Bassai Dai with the nunchaku from him though :bang:

Tatsumaru, Chimpcheng, AnotherTKDGuy and TeJitsuDo - "the lads"

Stolenbjorn, Dave Humm and slipthejab - aye slip, bet you didnt expect to be on a Mod's faves list . Some brilliant posts from these guys in the Weapons forum. I just have to see Stolen and Dave's post-bits to know I will be reading quality material. Probably the only place where I dont have to complain about Slip's posts

Dont worry if I havent mentioned you. If I mentioned every MAPer who can post decent stuff or that I respect, I would probably still be here this time tomorrow (I know, I probably will anyway )

 

Certainly no favourites but ap Oweyn, Matt Bernius and Thomas explain things very well and are almost always unbiased and very reasonable in their posts.

For purely comedic value, there's MAP's resident comedy quartet: medi, slip, billy gee, ikken

 

There are too many good members to list here. In general, MAP has a lot of well thought out posts with readable English.

I have only once clicked on someone's list of posts and browsed through a few pages of them, usually viewing most of them too.

That poster is: The one, the only:

Korpy

Congratulations, Korpy!

PS Saz is fantastic.

 

Heh, thanks Taff, I feel awesome now.

My favorite MAPPER, I can't choose just one. So here's a list of them.

Taff
kickboxingidiot
Jabcrosshook
Hiroji
slipthejab
Thomas
and Gangrelchild is pretty cool too.

 

I couldn't really say who I liked the best. The list would be quite long, and that's no lie! All of them for different reasons too.

I should give a special mention to Combatant though. He's given me tons of advice on gripper training via PM. He's also helped me choose more appropriate items for my home gym than the ones I'd picked myself - saving me not only money but potential frustration in the future too.

Perhaps I'll be able to add more after the UK July MAP meet.

 

special shout to Matt Blake too

Keep posting buddy.

 

What does the second "P" stand for?

 

fiddle me shiz i dunno its just there to make it sound/look better

 

This bothered me also*. I think it's on the forum description under Celebrations too. It should be MAP'er I presume, but MAPPER is cooler. Unless you're into sci fi, in which case, the more ap'os'tro''ph'e's the better.

* NB It didn't really.

 

Well Jabcrosshook sucks (That's a joke, mods, he's cool). Saz is obviously brilliant
Other than that, Yuki, Neryo and all the guys and girls in the MMA section, Iamraisen, Infrazeal and all my metaller buddies. AdMcG and the H&F guys that have helped me turn my skinny body into an adonis (well, an adonis's left leg, anyways ) and Medi consistantly makes me laugh. There's loads of others, but that's all that comes to mind right now

 

The H+F Forum wouldn't be worth a dime without AdMcG and BeWater.
