OOAK Table Tennis Forum has moved

The OOAK Table Tennis Forum has been moved and upgraded, and now has a brand new look and a brand new domain!

The forum graphics face-lift gives the forum a clear identity of its own as opposed to using a stock theme and increases the usability and legibility of the forum.

The forum now has it’s own unique domain of ooakforum.com, instead of running in a subdomain of the ‘One of a Kind Trading’ websites. The new URL highlights that the forum is now independent from other sites. The much shorter URL is much easier to remember and type in, whihc should be handy for those browsing on their phones.

You can find the new OOAK forum here:

OOAK table tennis forum - Major Upgrade

As some of you know, I administrate the OOAK table tennis forum, as well as being an active member there. In the last few weeks I've spent a lot of time on the software, and have finally completed the upgrade of the forum software and graphics.

With the help of a friend (thanks Brab!) the new forum looks awesome, and thanks to the new software, it's rich in new features too! Now come the fun of discovering all the new features and learning how to use them...

If you're already a member there, make sure you update your bookmarks/favourites to the new URL (which is http://forums.oneofakindtrading.com.au), since a few people have reported that the re-direct that is in place (from the old forum URL to the new one) is not working for them.

If you've not been to this forum before, why not come and check it out, and tell me what you think?

ITTF's Adham Sharara visits a table tennis forum

Adham Sharara, the president of the ITTF, has recently started visiting the table tennis forum - One of a Kind Forums to discuss the rules and decisions they make, with the table tennis online community.

With the recently highly controversial changes to equipment and approval by the ITTF, there has been much debate over merits and fairness of these decisions. The most commonly discussed topics are the ban of the frictionless pimple rubbers, the ban of speed glue, and more recently the issue on whether tuners/boosters are banned as well.

Adham has shown courage and initiative by visiting the forum, and explain the reasons why some of these decisions were made. Debates on these topics, and also a range of other topics, such and improvement to rules, promotion of our sport, etc are all being discussed in the forum, and with Adham regular visits, it's been a great opportunity for players to communicate directly with the ITTF, instead of having to go through all the red tape of the national associations.
