Title: Implications

The implications of saying something in the forums...
well, let me briefly explain.
The MMF forums is a public forum, in English which is the most widely spoken language in the world. Although Malaysians make up the bulk of the users, the MMF forums receives visitors (meaning guests) from all over the world (i'm seriously not making this up).
Now if you shoot your mouth off and make a stupid comment, your comments can be read any anyone around the world who own an internet account.
Wanna see how bad the damage can get? Some threads have now being discussed in the magic cafe already garnering quite a bit of negative publicity for Malaysia and Malaysian magicians as a whole because of the thoughts and actions of a few.
Be mindful of your posts people.
Still don't believe how bad the damage can get?
Post a picture of yourself in the nude/drunk/behaving like a total idiot on the internet. You'll be circulated around the world by next week like that girl from NYP (if you know what I'm saying)

Bro, that was partly due to credit card fraud (as well) that was widely reported in the media previously, with regard to Malaysia.
Just like online scam from Nigeria, Romania etc.

Is not about right or wrong.
Is time for us to grow.
Like a baby, we are learning to stand.
Falling is a must before we learn to stand.
And my favourite line during my sad time:
"Greater the Fall, Higher the Bounce"
As a magician we got code and ethic to follow.
We got to respect the art.
We got rules and regulations.
We got moral .. (baik hati, berdikari, hormat menghormati ..)
And we are here in this forum because we love the art of magic and wanna share the experience and guide young magician.
This is definitely not a place to earn money.
I hope we will all learn from all this and make MMF a better place.
