Parkour.net information available again

[Dave]

Just a quick message to say that the old Parkour.net forums are available once more in read-only format.

There is a lot of useful information in those discussions, so if you have a spare minute and haven't read through them before I think there are many worse things you could do than pick a thread and read it.

Thanks for the heads up Dave. The older forums archive also appears to be back up as well (read only). Link: parkour.net archives

great news. Shame it got shut down!

[Obsidian]

It's good to see the information from the parkour.net forums is available again. Perhaps one day we'll see it restored to a fully functional international parkour forum.

[Ben]

Hope so, Paul.

why did it get shut down?

[Dave]

Jerome took it down after JF Belle sent him an e-mail, the gist of which was that he didn't want people using David's name and image if he couldn't be sure they were using them accurately (i.e. under his control).

[Lewisr]

solution? 'i know its hard people, but please refrain from using David Belles name on these forums, well call him albert on the sly!! shhhhh' should do the trick

ok. cool thanks for the info

[Rob-F]

Couldn't they just use like a word filter?

[Dave]

The name 'parkour' is also part of the issue, since that was the name he took for his own discipline after the original 'art du deplacement' group split up. It's slightly harder to filter out the name and web address of the website.

[Rob-F]

Ah. erm, yes. The problem seems much more clear now
