Member 13 Cold Blooded Eagles Posted March 7, 2011 Member Share Posted March 7, 2011 The recent changes to Kung Fu Fandom have made think about this place; the friendships that have been created and the knowledge that has been shared. Things change rapidly on-line and quickly become lost to cyberdust. I thought before it got to that point, it would be worthwhile to chronicle the history of KFF. Now, I'm no historian. I wasn't here from day one so in order to make this work, I'll need the input of various members - especially from the old-school crowd. Some screenshots of KFF over the years and how the look has changed.... Fu Sheng's Salary (2002) False Statements about David Chiang (2003) Celestial releases - Censored/Cropped (2003) What's w/ gay stuff in Chang Cheh's films (2004) KFF was originally created by Brian Clearly on September 8, 2001 and was a forum offshoot for two sites: Kung Fu DVD and Kung Fu Cinema. I haven't spoken to Brian but hopefully he can be contacted and shed some light on the who/what/why etc. on the origins of KFF. (Or if someone else knows, lay it on us). It would be interesting to find out who the original moderators (Mark?) were and to reveal a timeline to the current mods. ---UPDATE--- Some digging provided the following info ---> Early 2003 mods: GaySerialKiller, gimpusmons, Holy Robe of Shaolin, Shanghaikid Early 2004: Jirpy100 Late 2004: jirpy100, Kwok Choi, Linn1, TheManInWhite (at a later date, vengeanceofhumanlanterns joined which is where we are today) Also, besides Brian Clearly there was another administrator called "therealsundown" back in '03. ---END UPDATE--- I also thought it would be interesting to chronicle some of the following subjects. Hotly debated topics Some that come to mind are "What's a bootleg?" -- "Is Chang Cheh gay?" -- "Subs vs Dubs." Posters Hall-of-Fame/Shame (Yes the good, bad and the ugly) Who were some of the great posters that are no longer with us? Cmyk328 comes to mind. He worked for ATV in the 80s and had all sorts of inside gossip. Of course who can forget the dreaded ShawScope character, the recent meltdown of Frank, Beardy's trades, and the long-winded but always entertaining bjv. Noteworthy threads (here's a few...) "More David Chiang Bashing" (July 2002) "Fu Sheng's salary (Unbelievable)" (an eleven page thread from Aug 2002) "Kung Fu films and "borrowed" music (Sept 2002) "Lo Lieh RIP" (Sept 2002) "Celestial releases- CENSORED & CROPPED!" (started by mantis2k in Jan 2003) "Godfrey Ho & Tomas Tang: the real truth!" (from Jun 2003) "Kill Bill wasn't that good" (over 275 posts from Oct 2003) "Biggest Kung Fu Movie Collector" (over 100 posts from Dec 2003) "Marco Polo" (Aug 2005) "The Films of Celestial Pictures" (a sticky thread by markgway) "Images from magicpoe/mahsingyi" (another sticky) "The Offical Shaws Dub Thread" (sticky) "The Seasonal/Cathay/First Films Filmography" (created by Markgway/falkor) "Photos from the Lo Meng Weekend" (Venom's historic first visit to the US) Noteworthy contributors Some that come to mind: mahsingyi & his covers, easternfreak & his lobby's, falkor & his scans, sevenhooks & his wav files ---END UPDATE--- So how about it? What else can be added to the History of KFF? "Holy Robe Of Shaolin" was my original nickname back in the days. Wow! I had a good chuckle when I glanced over the "Posters Hall Of Fame/Shame" and "Noteworthy Threads" section of this thread. So many good memories of chatting with the gang back then as well, especially Linn... It's good to be back! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member 13 Cold Blooded Eagles Posted March 7, 2011 Member Share Posted March 7, 2011 I laughed even harder when I saw that! I had a transcript of the entire debate that ensued, but that's probably best left not being re-discovered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member GOLDEN DRAGON YIN-YANG Posted October 2, 2011 Member Share Posted October 2, 2011 I joined early on to KFF with 'another' form of my: Golden Dragon Yin-Yang moniker. I forgot the pass-word. And had to reapply. So maybe several hundred posts were not chalked up to me....... GD Y-Y Happy "10th" to KFF & KFC and ALL. Many blessings, GD Y-Y 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
