Are there any new sections that you think we should create, that you imagine there would be a relatively high demand for? If you think so, post your suggestions on here, we'd love to hear them, and if theres enough support, we'll create them.

I would like to see the MMA and Boxing boards stand on their own and leave being a sub board of the modern board. You could even make Kickboxing one or a sub board in one of the above.
A pro wrestling one would be fun too.

Hmm, can you explain why you don't like them there, under the Modern board?
And I wouldn't mind putting down a pro wrestling sub. I'm not that big a fan of it, but I know others that enjoy MMA, are.

I would love to mod the pro wrestling board if it comes on. I'm a huge fan of WWE, TNA and Japanese pro wrestling.
I feel that MMA and Boxing are seperate from the modern martial arts idea since they are essentially 1. Sports 2. Hugely popular in popular culture 3. Got a whole side history
I could live with MMA still under the Modern board but I feel Boxing should be seperate as it is not a stereotypical martial art (its not eastern like Karate for example)and has its own mojo so to speak.
Also by seperating them I thought we might be able to 1. Draw people into the site who are interested in them (they might not see them in the modern section) 2. Get more traffic into them

Fraiser has a point. A new Boxing section would be ok.

I have a suggestion for something (I think it was JW) suggested a while back. A "NEWS" reel just under the banner at the top of the page. The problem we had was that martial artists are kind of introverted and would only really take notice of things that concern their particular style or the styles that interest them. This might take a bit of effort on the part of us moderators but if we all bring in one unique piece of current martial news when we log in we might just be able to headline enough styles to raise our chances of interesting people who pop into the forum for the first time.
Something like- News
Master passes UFC --- results Boxing --- vs --- MOVIES!!! BJJ national championship results
Anything and everything we believe might get passing interest from visitors.

Hmm, I'm a little wary about doing that. I'm not sure if I totally agree Frasier. Lemme consult with a few admins and see what they think. But I'll create a wrestling section in the next couple of days and you can mod that, and I'll put you on traditional too, like you asked.
And Odee, when we upgraded they changed the news headline feature so its smaller. If you notice its still there in the same spot but its not as noticeable. If people were fine with me putting up spoilers thats one thing, but thats why I hate going on my FB or anywhere else only to have a fight ruined for me if I haven't seen it. I think we could make it work if we posted the results a day after or something.

I was about to say I'm not suggesting spoilers for movies but it could pretty easily become spoilers for matches that people haven't watched yet.

Just thought of a new section, a Video section where anyone can post their martial art videos and if you want, you could even separate traditional and modern to make it less confusing. If it's a modern MA video, post it in the modern video section and if it's traditional, post it in the traditional video section. I bet people here have videos they want to share because I do haha.

That's a good idea. People in the traditional section could put up videos of themselves doing kata and forms for those with more knowledge to give tips.

Either that and/or just Youtube videos people want to share. I have some great Bajiquan videos I want to share too along with other martial art videos. Maybe even add a photo board along with the video one or just put them in one board. At least a photo gallery or something! I'm just typing whatever comes to mind.
