I was wondering...could you link us to that Chinese forum?

Could you point us to people who collaborated on this?

Could you share some of those publications you mentioned producing on that other forum?

I think many here would like to read that info.

Also:
I don't have an accurate statistic but based on the reports we'ver gathered, the success rate is at least 50% if not higher. One thing we do know is that once you get a hang of this it produces consistent results. On the Chinese forum I worked with a smaller group of people, approximately 50, very closely, interacting with them on a daily basis. Five of them learnt to be able to succeed on a daily basis. They were complete amateurs with no prior experience with lucid dreaming. The average time for them to achieve this consistent result is about two months. Aside from these five people, all other members have experienced success, mostly within the first week, and they can average at least one or two LD/OBEs per week. The technique was first released on that forum in August last year. To date we have collected hundreds of detailed report on success.

Throughout the years I've recorded thousands of LDs and OBEs.

Would it be possible to share some of this research? I think it would help people greatly, particularly reading the experiences of others.

I, too, would also be interested in this reply.
