Taiji Bum Posted May 28, 2008 I am quoting Yoda from here- http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?showtopic=5607 Some taobums may have been turned off by the prevalence of Kunlun posts and have left the forum but I'd like to think that it's fairly easy to ignore Kunlun based discussions if it's not of interest to you. Â Also, they will fire up a Kunlun discussion forum at some point so that should help also. Â Your pal, Yoda I am seriously turned off by it and yes..... I know..... If I dont like all the kunlun discussion I can go elsewhere and I mostly have but I keep coming back hoping the kunlun craze has passed. Which it doesn't seem to be doing. Part of the problem is the kunlun nutters arguing with the anti-kunlun nutters. That wears on the nerves also. Â Is there any hope? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sahaj Nath Posted May 28, 2008 lol! Â hilarious title, bro! Â Â umm... what exactly is taking so long with the kunlun forum idea? even if mantra's not ready to start one on his site, why can't it at least be a sub-forum like the book club thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Â Agreed. Sometimes I want to read about Kunlun, sometimes not. A separate forum would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaloo Posted May 28, 2008 I guess I don't understand the issue. You see Kunlun in the title or within the first post and you stop reading. Simple. No need to segregate the Kunlun posts. Â At times the topics can be a bit heavy on the Kunlun side of things. But then again, I haven't started any threads to spice up the mix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Yes, but at times you can post a question or something hoping for a reply, and in an hour it is bumped to the second or third page because of the kunlun chatter.

Patrick Brown Posted May 28, 2008 Sub-forum just for the Kunluns? Sounds about right! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cloud recluse Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Yes, but at times you can post a question or something hoping for a reply, and in an hour it is bumped to the second or third page because of the kunlun chatter.  BINGO !  the forum will be up soon  Yaaaay  Having now squeaked, I will point out I am actually interested in the techniques of Kunlun , but the associated discussions can get a bit much .

Yoda Posted May 28, 2008 When this thread gets a few more opinions on it, someone can pm it to Sean and see what he does. A taobum Kunlun Closet would be amusing in itself. Â I'm expecting that the Kunlun forum will drain off taobum discussion by at least 50% but there's no telling when that'll be officially activated, but it could be any time as it's ready to go. Sean is helping out with that too, so he might have an idea of that timeline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeblast Posted May 28, 2008 The utilization of the search function would eliminate about 60-70% of the kunlun threads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sean Posted May 28, 2008 http://www.kunlunforum.com/ Â Â The forum is set so new users each need to be manually validated by Mantra68. Not sure if he has time for that but you can always pre-register. Â Sean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taiji Bum Posted May 28, 2008 I just wanted to add I am not turned off by Max or kunlun in themselves but in just the sheer volume of posts about it here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joeblast Posted May 28, 2008 Sean, So are you or any of the other main-peeps here directly connected to Max? Whaddya mean by directly connected? Chris (mantra68) is perhaps the only one around that is, if I'm interpreting your terminology properly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick Brown Posted May 28, 2008 It will be open to those who have studied with Max in person. Most are considered outdoor students but still many secret practices will be discussed in detail. It gets more like a cult every day! Â Whaddya mean by directly connected? Chris (mantra68) is perhaps the only one around that is, if I'm interpreting your terminology properly OK that's cool.

shontonga Posted May 29, 2008 It gets more like a cult every day! OK that's cool. Â Have to admit was wondering when i joined if they were affiliated somehow ? Couldn't figure it out! Every other post was about Kunlun! Had only started to hear about it about a year ago, there was a brief flare up goin' on, kind of underground, in some of the "communities"(newagers) around here. Then it all died down again. folks have moved on to other stuff. Then I came to this group and it was EVERYWHERE!!! Was surprised. Â It sounds interesting ? Still don't get how it's any different than lot of other stuff out there but then again, have had a strange life so ... Â Glad You folks are having fun with it all. and learning . and communicating . So important to share experiences. Â Sure does get overwhelming though! Would be nice to see it a little more contained in it's own section for those that are still "considered outdoor students". Â Â Peace! Â It's nice out doors ! Enjoy it, Treasure it! ... That's where I tend to meet the most interesting of "Teachers"! Â Shon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
