Ive been reading the posts on kmc for quite some time now, and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to make an account. Ive heard you guys talk about how "old" kmc had a lot more people on it that it does now.


That seems to be true, you guys have so many posts on each of the main threads and not too many people talk on it to warrant that many post counts.

Is this true, did kmc of old have a lot more active users than it does now?

cool_ghost
Also, this question is mainly aimed towards the people who have been here a while. You know, for years.

dadudemon
Well, about 20 or so people left from the OTF due to the mods on KMC. They made lots of traffic on KMC...but they mostly stuck to the OTF.


Some of them have come back but only post everynow and then.



The GDF used to get more traffic.


The comic book forums seem to be doing about the same as 3-4 years ago, though. That's good news.



The MVF is doing worse because it's most catalystic member was permabanned. Quanchii is trying to fill that void, though (bless him).




Lastly, I suspect that you are a sock troll but you're a nice dude so I would still like to see you stick around. Feel free to PM me your old name if you are a returning member. I do keep secrets. big grin

I've been on since 2003. My first couple of years I was very active here (7-10 posts per day probably). Now, I'm probably about 5 posts per week and I don't check as many of the forums here as I used to (used to be very active in the Sports section, but I only post there once every few months now). It was pretty active back in those days, but I'm not active enough now to say how active these days are in comparison. Btw, purely luck that I even saw this thread because I rarely enter OTF these day (I didn't even open OTF, just saw the thread title from the main forum page that showed it as the last thread posted in).

Well since your telling me it was active back then (atleast more so), i can tell its not TOO active now. i probably do like 30 posts a week, and you probably do less and less becuase youve just gotten used to it. It is weird you seen this thread though:O

I just used to stick around the spiderman forum...then I got famous (probs cause of my av) around the OTF so posted here a little more.....I miss phat crabs

I think there is alot more now then there was the same. Alot of the old memebers had left (bows her head in silents) they will be missed. But there are some new ones that are nice.

There used to be more people back when I 1st joined in the off topic and general discussion forum. but, yes. Many people simply grew out of it moved on or were banned by moderators.

Which resulted in KMC becoming what you see.

The comic forum also lost a lot of traffic and it just seems to be the handful of people still posting but keeping it alive.

Ax3l
There are other forums?

I joined KMC primarily because it has, arguably, the best Comics VS forum in the web.

Now, I rarely visit that forum.
It's now filled with socks and trolls, flame wars, redundant matches, mismatches... and maybe because my comic book knowledge has expanded to the point that I could easily distinguish the winner of the match without the need of starting an argument.

If you're wondering why KMC is dead, it's because
a) some of the active members were perma-banned and never returned
b) social networking services

Dude, complete shit-ton of people.

I could start naming them:

Rogue Jedi
Alpha Centauri
TheGreyFox
Chillmeistergen
...



I know realized that the list is huge and I do not have the memory for names capable enough to properly represent that list.


If other would like to continue to add to the very short list I started, be my guest.

Certain members of staff let the forums down. That's all I have to say on the matter.

To be honest I think more people just gave up. Without Dubya to moan about in the GDF there's nothing left to discuss.

If by "catalystic" you mean a troll of Mt. Rushmore proportions, then, yeah, I agree.

I personally do not think all trolling is negative to the overall website experience. It obviously worked to get people talking/arguing. We need our ACs and RJ's to keep people interested.

cool_ghost
so im hearing that the main reason why its more dead now is becuase of the moderators perma banning people?

Impediment
People get banned for a reason.

Mods are always going to be unfairly judged for their decisions.

Thus is our fate.

We don't do this job to make friends.

Mods are scum, especially impediment.

quanchi112
I do look back on the old times of 2007-08 as the golden age. Threads just moved back then. I do feel that social media has had a hand in kmc's decline along with posters being banned and the community not growing.

Some mods are definitely better than others no matter which website you go to. And those that judge the good ones, unfairly, suck balls and are douches, anyway. smile

He made an underhanded comment about another member getting molested.

And he made another underhanded comment about another member getting played by a creeper.

Judge and Whirly killed it far more than the mods. Fact :-)

dadudemon
I disagree. Judge and Whirly did not do jack to "take down" these forums. Just more of the occasional comic relief.

Yeah, I always loved it when they'd come around!

Because I hate the mods so much, though.

You are wrong, let me tell you why.

Whirly and Judge showed the Mods don't listen and there egos were more important than the forums.


What Whirly and Judge did is show that that we are humans.
We have feelings and thoughts, so if the mods were in for a deal,
so were we. Whirly and Judge showed Mods don't deal

The first step towards a solution would have been NOT to ban Judge and Whirly accounts right away. Instead they should talk it over.
Every troll on KMC has their own reasons to do what they do.

If you didn't ban Judge and Whirly accounts, Who knows, we might've find a solution that satisfied everyone. Instead we showed members are not bots and we could make accounts as quick as Mods could ban us. Jusge and Whirly showed Mods can't just click a button and we'd go away.

It doesn't bother me that you troll. As long as you don't post porn. How can I get a laugh at your trolling if I can't view it at work? Exactly.

I know I'm not supposed to feed the trolls, mods. But I was hoping to dissuade him from posting porn because he WILL sock KMC again.

I don't like this kind of thinking. I agree of course, hardly anyone getting banned will agree with the decision, but that doesn't mean that it was necessarily the right, most beneficial or logically coherent decision.

I understand why it is not allowed to discuss decisions here, but on other platforms or in private I think it is perfectly logical and fine to debate or question decisions.

And you are still my friend touched

I suppose I can't really reference 'old' KMC, because I joined in 2005, but I really do miss the way the forum used to be. Though I originated in the Role Play forum, which now seems to be not only dead but illiterate, I took quickly to Off Topic. Despite the egotistical jerks, the drama, the facades and the high school like 'clique-ish' nature it exuded... It was really, really entertaining. People were closer. The conversations were gratifying. The general humor was was witty and fun.

To be honest, I thought the same when I first came here. There seemed to be like 3 or 4 cliques.

It did not bother me and I liked to kind of...you know...mess with those ideas of "cliques" by jumping in all of them like we were all chums. I don't like groups isolating other groups.

Let me tell you of old KMC.

First came the sheeple with the sig forum and they worshipped the craven idol Raz. They bowed to him and appeased him, then came the sycophants and the jobsworths. With their virtual power over the sheeple. Then came Whirly, first prophet of the true judge, many false judges came and judgement day has yet to come on this forum of sheep.

I feel the same. I was only here to read a HP fan fict then I fell inlove with the OTF. People were funny, flirty and just fun to talk too. And I've always been weak and imtimidated when it comes to debating or whatever, so that kept me in the OTF.

I noticed cliques, but I attempted to talk to everyone.

I definitely have at least been around long enough to see the rise and fall in traffic, alot of times due to a ban of a huge entertainer. But ehh, shit happens.
