Olde members?
-
For example a few members include Skarkill (sorry if I upset him, I was only joking with what I said.)
Hey Yo Moana.
You didn't upset me. I just needed a break form here I was suffering from Burnout.
I'll be back full time soon though, so don't worry.
The Forums Residnet Goblin Master is fine and well, The Irons have been kept nice and shiney and I'm ready to renew my raign of Terror.

as i .... the Insane One, am still about too. sometimes i just dont sign in. but im still about. as was also said. there is only so much that can be talked about. besides i think i may have annoyed too many people with my mindless RPing in the forum, so i tend to spend most of my days in Emii's Roleplay forum. im sure my msnger details are up if anyone fancies a bit of daft carry - on... im always up for that!

the forum is not the same as it used to be.
This can be seen in a positive light too. Old members may stop posting, but new members arrive, to share fresh thoughts and perspectives. In this way, there is growth and gain for all. And for the sake of nostalgia, old posts are still around, waiting to be excavated!
In a saddening way, this thread is a little self-defeating - departed members can't explain why they left, because they're no longer here! Leaving current members, for better or worse, to speculate...
Perhaps some folk have withdrawn because for some reason, they object to the way the Forum is being run? If this is the case, then it makes those who stay, and offer constructive feedback, all the more valuable as members, in my opinion.

Hmmm. I've not been here long, but I know what you mean. I saw Hstorm's site before I came here-really it's thanks to him and his links that I am here. But I have noticed that he, G. Grimwold, Snowwie and others, all of whom I have the utmost respect for, haven't posted in an inordinately long time.

I'm increasingly becoming a veteran, and that makes me feel old.
Buuut, I'll still be here for the forseeable future. Well, as long as people want me here.
I must admit, I am becoming increasibly 'part-time', probably because I've finally seen all the KM episodes, all 112 and a half (VR pilot) of them. And taped them.
Although I do wish some people would come back. Still, expect to see visage appear next month, as he slips comfortably back into university.

Thursday 11 September 2003 Was the date I registered, I didn't realise it was that early last year. However I had discovered the website I couple of weeks prior to this, bit of a spooky day to have joined I suppose. That means I have passed my year anniversery without realising it!
The thing with older members is that people will come and go, they will have reasons for it and I suppose that not everyone announces their reasons for leaving in public. I wouldn't think of it as any cause for concern, more to look back upon. There are new and interesting members joining constantly and that's something to be happy about and to welcome them into the community. I agree with the point made that KM is 15 years old, 10 since it finished and 5 since this website was started so in that time then it is easy to become "talked out" if you've been here the whole time. -
Perhaps we just need to think up some different ways to look at Knightmare, and discuss them. Why was it the best (kids) show ever? Would adding a fourth level be a good idea? Could it work with two dungeoneers?
There's only so many times we can discuss the best series, or the best lifeforce, or the best villain, and it can understandably get boring for some members.
Anyway, I think as soon as something brand new comes along to talk about (ie KMVR), the forum will have an exodus of returning members, plus a whole host of newcomers. It will be good.

Well August is traditionally a quiet month on the site/forum as everyone goes on holiday etc. Things have not picked up much since, but the big VR announcements have been discussed through and Challenge have run through the episodes several times, it is understandable if things go quiet for a bit.
Yes, I would think that many olde regular posters are still around, but perhaps now more in lurk mode (reading not posting). Sometimes people go out of the habit of posting as other priorities in life come up, or perhaps they feel they have contributed all they can.
I'm not sure if it could be explained by the fact that everything has been discussed already and there is little left to discuss. People were saying that 4 years ago and look what happened! Certainly when there is another big Knightmare announcement things will pick up again.
Things go in phases, people come, people go. The regulars on the forum are completely different every year, and some of the knew members will be the olde members in a couple years time. Then we'll have the same discussion again...

The Tigger is still kicking around, my apologies for not posting in a while.
I've been busy causing havoc in the RP board 'Surrounds' for the last few months as 'Coriolis' (I take back any negative comments that I ever made about it! 'tis been great fun!) as well as trying to keep tabs on the various KM related projects that I'm now involved with (Tho' I'm saying nothing about them for now! ).
There's very little that I can really add to any conversation that I haven't already contributed... I don't see any point in repeating old points ad nauseum when the original posts are still out there to be found. That would simply lead to the board stagnating...
Mind you, I'm still watching!

I believe I am still here, too.
Many 'old' members tend to use MSN or KM Chat as their Community medium these days.
I still have plenty of contact with some of the old members who no longer post here. A shame really, but you never know, they know where we are, one day they may come back! If they haven't kept up with the news, I imagine a few are in for quite a shock!

I'm still around, (and have been since January '03) but back in Unannounced Lurker Mode until further notice. Shiny objects, RPGs and old Amiga games have proven to be bigger distractions than I'd thought.
I'm planning to give my KM site a facelift at some point, (there's so many characters I haven't insulted yet...) but knowing my attention span, it won't be done at any point in the near future.

I'm the ultimate olde member, and I'm still around - always will be! As K suggests, a few of the older members of the community tend to haunt KM Chat, and Illusion has correctly pointed out that a lot of us only say things on the forum when our de-lurk mode is activated.
I mean, look at Forester - longevity, four and a bit years. Post count, 21.
