Hey guys, I just wanted to mention to anyone who was a visitor to the groundfight forums that two weeks ago the forum was hacked and crashed for good (third time actually). I don't have the time or patience to keep up with another rebuild of that forum so I am redirecting anyone who was a member there to join this forum. So, if some of the RMATA forum members see some new faces, that will explain it.

We are sure sorry about the hacker situation, but we are very happy to have ya'll here. I was on the groundfight forum for some time myself and I look forward to everyone's input from there.
Anyways, all ya'll from the groundfight forum... WELCOME!! Feel free to jump right in with both feet folks and make yourself at home!

does anybody have any idea why the site was hacked, etc??? It seems like nobody would bother with such an out of the way thing like a small MMA chat board??? What gives? .....and three times in a row? Sounds highly irregular

We have some EXTREMELY STRONG suspicions, but until there is proof we don't want to point fingers. Please everyone leave it at that until Bill ever posts definite proof about it. Thanks.
By the way, the type of martial artst POLITICS involved with having such a big EGO that you would have hackers shut down someone's martial arts forum is exactly the sort of the thing the RMATA tries to stay away from. We can continue to be forward thinking, positive, and productive together.

Well, the groundfight forum had almost 30,000 posts (in all) and we had 573 members before it crashed for good this time. For an mma forum that's pretty big and sadly there are people who wanted it shut down for personal reasons most of which I believe were related to one of the members on that forum who was rather loud about certain issues, not myself. The hacker I believe was trying to hurt that member specifically, in my opinion. Anyhow, it's gone now so I just move on and think positive.

Bill, sorry to hear about the site. I realy learned alot over there. I enjoyed reading the posts and reading about other people's experiances with grappling.
Vince, thanks for picking up the loyal members of Bill's forum. I hope you can keep a tight lock on the BS.
See you guys on the boards.

Eric,
Good to have you here. We have very little BS here. The folks who come here know that this is a place for discussing serious issues about realistic MA training and related subjects (of course posts on any subject are welcome on the appropriate board). So far the only small problems we've had are people coming here to spam the board with their product or martial arts school who arent a*sociated with the RMATA at all. Not a problem though, we just point folks in the right direction and keep movin on.
Robert, Absolutely... it's great to have you groundfight guys here!
Vince

Is this the part where everyone forms two lines and each poster dances down the middle?
*moonwalks, stops abruptly, does the robot and then bus stops to the end of the line*

Naw, I sent you a pm and an e-mail to find out what had become of the groundfight crew and you didn't reply. I clicked on the url and was redirected here just recently, lucky for me.
Heh, you guys can't shake me that easy.

Oh, I lost the web address for that site and haven't been on there in a while. I used my real address for that forum as well so I don't know why I never received your email. bill@groundfight.com is the one I always use.

Can anyone post the specs on the Gotch push up board over here? It stinks that someone had to ruin what was such a cool site.
