I was thinking of doing a BJJ Globetrotters podcast episode on Beltchecker (http://www.bjjglobetrotte[...]om/podcast).

What are some things you hear from people about beltchecker that we could address? Bring out all the worst misconceptions and conspiracies here! :) :)

(An early one was that it was secretly run by the IBJJF but I think that's been recently debunked lol)

That you are doing it out of the love of the game.... Wait you aren't charging any money and are connecting people all over the world that have a common interest together... Oh hell maybe you do love the game..

I read in the National Enquirer that you and Timmy are in fact the same person occupying the same body. Timmy whispers terrible things only you can hear at night.

Hahaha, I believe Christian is actually serious but he be getting joke answers almost exclusively both here and on facebook :D

I haven't heard anything juicy but keep running into resistance on the basis of this is all a vain popularity contest, where people are out to hoard points and it's worthless trying to get one's rank verified if you've not been super social & know a bunch of Globetrotters. Or if one has jumped through the hoops to get IBJJF certified, what's the point.

There is also a rumor about the moderators being sinister dickheads.
