Since a lot of folks have come over here from the Judo Forum, I'm curious what you think. Is this the forum for you? Is this now the primary one you check because of all of the trolling on the Forum or is this just another one you check?

For me, I linger on the Judo Forum, but prefer this one, even though it's just starting up. I feel that I'm friends with all of the people that have transplanted and if I haven't met, I at least know of many of the members of Shinto from Stephen and Betty.

All in all, for me, this place just has a better feel since it seems to be amongst friends who listen and respect each other.

Your thoughts?

With the way the things have been on the judo forum lately this is the place for me, as well generally the place feels much more "at home" for me.(Like Mongo said)

Thanks Guys

Obviously this forum is here for anyone to use, I have invited you guys over as I know it will remain the way it should be, without any teatime to talk of, etc, I am more than happy for you to invite others and I trust that you guys will know what company you like to keep.

The forum is a place for people to discuss and learn about Judo, with some fun thrown in for good measure, the initial intention is for Shinto to have access to more information and now a vast wealth of knowledge, this may well grow into a large forum like the Judo Forum, it obviously isnt my intention to replace one with another.

I would like to also encourage you guys to post clips of your own Judo too, and consider it a forum for all despite the address, it may be called Shinto Judo Forum, but its a Judo Forum

So far I have invited people who would not feel as if I am taking liberties with my membership at The Judo Forum, I do not want to poach people, but offer another avenue to post and read about Judo.

I am glad you feel welcomed and that its the place for you to be.
