I first made my mark on 21st june, 2004.

And I'll be here for much longer than that...

Soon be comeing up to the 1 year aniversery of my Raing of Terror

"HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE..............LOVELY."

I was amazed when I came upon this site, and must have spent at least a week checking out its entire content. Since then I have made a few contributions to the site - have provided information and flyers on Hugo Myatt's pantomine appearances (not sure if he's doing one this year), The Quest (back in 2001 - R.I.P, lasted six months thanks to a shambolic web hosting company which I won't go into any further detail on), and then of course more recently, Knightmare Resurrection, which I'm sure most of you know about.

Now forum-wise. I have been a forum regular in the past, anyone who remembers the old Bravenet and Network54 forums can probably vouch for that. And then of course, there is the multi-account fiasco on this one. I think I nearly managed 500 posts under my own name before I decided that I was posting way too fast and hence, deleted that account. A while later I set up another account as Zagor, and reached 527 (but that was after a few more people had become Knights, so to speak). Unfortunately work commitments proved to be the better of me and obviously I couldn't post as frequently any more, forgetting vital information in that account in the process (still occuring to this day) - the increasing number of topics appearing alongside so many boards is another factor.

But, under my new moniker (which is really just my first name and the first letter of my surname, which I guarantee won't change!) I am making the occasional posting, albeit mainly to promote K:R, but it's great that there is this huge community present that remembers such an excellent and innovative TV programme of its generation.

I also have to give thanks for also being allowed to be part of the RPG acting community, it has definitely helped me meet new people and friends, and I am grateful for the part I play in that. The guy who invited me to join may no longer be around, but it's still fantastic that the RPG is getting better and stronger with every year.

And that's my side of the story. I've think I have gone into more detail here than I possibly ever have done when making a post on a Knightmare forum....

I'm more an older member than an olde member. Exactly a year ago, I started my Knewbie Welcome thread. Six months after that, I'd had the privilege of closely befriending and meeting some of the members who'd welcomed me, and other members too. I owe this place a lot - more than 632 posts or more can express - and I don't plan on packing my bags just yet...

What about 812 crap ones?

If you've made 812 crap posts that's not my problem. It probably means you need to get out a little more

Anyway, I prefer quality over quantity. 32 good post instead of 96 crap ones. Yes.

I mean, look at Forester - longevity, four and a bit years. Post count, 21.

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.

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'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!

just been really busy.

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...
