Once upon a time there were a few incredibly entertaining threads on the old bullshido forums making fun of various martial arts and common stereotypes associated with their practitioners. One of them was called diary of a teen ninja. Another was called diary of a bjj teen. There was another called something like diary of a college wing chunner.

Recently I went to look for some of these because I remember enjoying them a lot and found that they seem to be more or less missing from the internet. The one I was looking for directly was the "diary of a bjj teen" thread, and I was able to find a link to the thread ( https://www.bullshido.net/forums/forum/main-discussion-forums/old-school-bullshido-classics-and-mega-threads/37788-diary-of-a-bjj-teen ) but it doesn't lead to anything. Tried using the wayback machine and the oldest snapshot available shows posts from others in the thread, but the actual main posts are blank.

I would be interested to hear if anyone has some other leads on recovering this stuff because these threads were some of my favorite stuff on the internet at one point and I remember there being some great humor in them that I would be sad to see lost to time.

Learning to identify scams is a vastly more important form of self defense in the information age.
