Bob rocks \m/

 

[Paul B]

KMA Talk! Really? Bob..you are the kewlest/most bravest (LOL) man alive.

:angel: Oh yeah..the other sites are cool,too.

 

[stickarts]

Very cool!

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Thank you.


We have several goals for these sites.
Each site has article and resource sections that we hope to see grow into massive area-specific top-quality information. Alot will point at content on MartialTalk, but we are also looking at other sites and linking to them as well.

We hope that each site will become an often visited and bookmarked destination for the internet traveler.

We hope that they will help us to attract both the casual surfer and the serious forum member, and as a result help us to continue to increase our membership and the quality and quantity of our content.

We will be regularly adding to the article and resource listings there as we find more information that meets our requirements.

Our overall goal is to be the dominant martial arts information network and community on the Internet.

Hey, I dream big.

Bob, that is great news! My only question at this point is...how can we help you make it happen? Any assistance that I'm able to give is gladly offered. If none is needed, then I'll see you on the new sites.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

For most of these sites, their forums are our forums, just expanded, enhanced and freshly painted. This way, you can focus on your primary interest, or use the entire MT universe as you see fit.

What we need are more people, more "sink your teeth into it" articles, resources and the like. I've got a number of ideas on how to get folks better involved in growing them, just need to fine tune it a bit.

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

This is great!

So any hints on what Phase 2 will be?

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Right now, I'm looking at a total of 20-30 sites in the network, some more integrated with MT than others. I'm also considering several regional portal sites.

There are some features I've been researching, and right now the holdup is money and server power. Once I solve the first part, the second part will become attackable.

I'll be mentioning more on Phase 2 next week though. I'm shooting at the WMAA Buffalo camp this weekend so will be pausing my plans for world domination for a few days.

 

[Captain Harlock]

It has been good to see the continued success and operation of this site.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

So any hints on what Phase 2 will be?

Stage 2 is currently under way. Full announcement on when it's done.

Here's one part

[Bob Hubbard]

Here is the big "Hint"

Note that each ??? is another site, and most are currently named and in progress.

Some are developing domains I've had for a while, others are new.

For example, I've managed to obtain the domain remypresas.com. I'll be relocating the tribute site currently at martialtalk.com/remy there with very minimal changes.

All totaled, when this is done by Mid-July, the MT Family Network will consist of 28-30 interconnected and related sites. Over time, each of the portal sites will grow and expand, becoming more unique and less like they siblings. It's going to be cool.

Stage Alpha - Step 1/10 - Move Remy Presas Memorial site from martialtalk.com/remy to it's own domain. - Completed. Site now located at RemyPresas.com

Very Nice Bob! Looking forward to the continued unraveling of this web [pun intended] ;-)
