Hello,

This thread will be updated as required with information pertaining to management of the threads.

As interest in certain threads tapers off, one of two things may happen to it (or in most cases both):

1) The title may be shortened or modified to better reflect the content of the thread, and to enhance the results of anyone performing a search (http://204.95.207.136/vbulletin/search.php?s=) of the forums.

2) New threads that are not overly long, and contain identical/similar topics may be merged (combined) with an existing thread to condense the information and navigation time.

Additionally, "ratings" will be attached to threads that are deemed particularly educational and/or entertaining. The criteria for this is pretty arbitrary, but generally threads that offer important subject matter or have over 600 views will be "rated" to aid in navigation of informational threads.

Readers may notice an inclination towards logical thread names that tend to recur - like "AJJ in wherever" and "aiki v12.1". Any assistance with following this existing convention would be much appreciated!

These updates will be made as time and opportunity presents itself only! :)

So if it appears that a thread or topic is missing, please check here to see if I've done any cleaning. Also, don't forget to check whether there is an existing thread on a topic before posting a new one with the same question. Adding on to an exising thread will push it up to the top of the list anyway.

Hope this service proves to be useful!

Regards,

Just merged, edited title names and rated all existing threads from 6/1/2000 (beginning of forum - post crash) to 5/4/2001. Pruned one full page of threads.

I'm afraid there was one casulty, however. The original thread containing comments about Kaze Arashi ryu took one for the team by accident in a fatal merging error (O.K., it was my first time and I blew it). Sorry about that. :(

If you get a minute, it may be worth while to scroll through all three pages of threads and re-familiarize yourself with the topics.

In the future, I don't anticipate much of an impact from occaisonal cleaning, but this time was an overhaul.

Sorry for any inconvenience,

1) Opened a subforum to organize information and discuss the Daito ryu Seishin Abashiri Dojo/Seishinkai group:

http://204.95.207.136/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=76

2) The thread "Seishin Abashiri Dojo - legitimacy/succession" was moved there, and renamed "General Discussion - legitimacy/succession"

3) The thread "Kondo S. - DR Aikibudo or DR Aikijujutsu?" has been moved to the new DR Seishinkai sub-forum, since it related directly to succession issues.

4) The thread "Statment by Kondo Sensei - Daito ryu" has been moved to the new DR Seishinkai sub-forum, since it related directly to succession issues.

5) The thread "Daito-ryu Tapes? (Seishinkai videos)" has been moved to the new DR Seishinkai sub-forum, since it related directly to the Seishinkai.

Nathan,

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your hard work organizing an seeding this forum. You've done a fantastic job (again). I don't have anything substantial to contribute, but I love reading these threads!

You mentioned the event under planning for Nevada. Do you have any word on the time frame yet? I'd heard about it, but don't know the timing. I hope to go, and maybe to be able to meet you, finally.

Take care,

Ron Tisdale

Hey, thanks for the encouragement guys! Much appreciated.

I don't know anything more about the Nevada thing. If you really want to know, you should post it over on the AJ forum, or email Mr. Pranin directly.

I'm sure he'll announce it when he's ready anyway.

Regards,
