Welcome to SumoForum.Net!   SumoForum.Net is a community of people throughout the world fostering the conspicuousness about the Japanese national sport of sumo wrestling and discussing about everything associated with it. SumoForum.Net is technically based on a server located in Finland in northeastern Europe and hosted by a company called Nebula Oy. Anyone interested in sumo and able to write in English is heartily welcomed. If needed, subforums for additional languages will be created except for German, French and Polish since there already are forums for sumo discussion in those languages at www.sumofan.net/tipspiel/, www.info-sumo.net and www.sumo.glt.pl respectively. If there are more non-English sumo forums around, please inform us about them. Few words about registering yourself as a SumoForum.Net member! Members so far have used their shikona as member names which is quite fitting for a sumo forum. If you don't have a shikona (rikishi's poetical wrestling name) of your own, you might as well use your own real name or any other suitable nick you're accustomed with. If you later want to adopt a shikona, you must ask Rijicho to change names as the forum script doesn't support name change by its holder (this might be subject to change). Before going to the forum itself we must ask you to familiarize yourself with the forum rules.
