New members introduce yourselves!!

Re: new members introduction thread - important that new members introduce themselfs!!!

My name is Paul Farwell. I am 18 years old with no occupation.
I am American.
I live in Ohio, United States.

I am deeply interested in China, anything about warfare, current events, and science fiction.

I don't learn much at school about these things, so that is why I am here.

Re: new members introduction thread - important that new members introduce themselfs!!!

welcome all new members

Even though on arm chair, arm chair generals are still generals, they usually see the bigger picture, more perceptive to changes, and are often have a better understanding of ideas behind wars, so I would propose some sort of selection board, and any one can apply for VIP membership, and the selection board will review the posts made by the applicants and determine whether he/she is qualified for VIP memebership.

well armchair general means (in my mind) a normal civilians (in our cases mostly 14-17 year old kids) who knows lot of stuff, read from books and internet forums and thinks themselves as experts of military stuff when they actually have no clue about the 'real things'....if we would have real officers in here, it would be like christmass Thats why we take all who have served as Vip members, as well as those who have 'real' experience from defence industry and like. So basicly the point is to get adults whit some sort of background to create community of mutual profesionalism to discuss over chinese military topics and by that make SDF a leading chinese military forum...thats the 'offical' goal of us

==I see, I was still thinking about the old Jian Chuan Zhi Shi (naval and merchant ships) forum, a forum founded by the JCZS magazine in 1997, before it was overran by Chinese extreme nationalists and Neo-Cons then taken over by sina and converted to a pHp style forum, it was filled with experts from different fields who either have spent years study the art and science of warfare or who are do not participate in defence R&D but have great understanding of the military implication of what they were working on, of course, JCZS forum is probably just a remenant of an era where only those who knows what they are talking about can access the internet, it is probably impossible to prevent a forum from being diluted with 14 to 17 year olds who think that they know everything, but, what can you do, almost everyone can access internet now.
