Kirby's Rainbow Resort

Perhaps starting anew is a fine solution but as long as I'm casually bumming around here I'm going to remain somewhat calm and composed as a way to atone for being an obnoxious member of this community back in the day.

KRR, regardless of any drama, is a good resource. I still use the OP HNK tab as a quick index for remembering HNK episodes and nobody else has yet to have such a neat and identifiable guide, not even Wikipedia.

_________________

Yes, it may be good as a resource, but what use is it if it's never updated, and the few staff that are left neglect to update it, even if we are providing them the info?

Besides, this place isn't a very good community, considering there are no moderators to approve new users on the forum.

TL;DR: Don't beat up KRR. It's a dead horse.

Noworries- I don't plan on beating up KRR. Rather, I'm going to give it a little pat and appreciate it for what I still love about it.

In all seriousness, if you're trying to convince people to use whatever new site instead of KRR you need to work on winning over people's hearts.

I'd argue that you should worry more about your temperament than time. I currently have 0% interest in joining any new communities with people that go around shaming and tearing down old communities... and I doubt I'm the only one offput by that.

And on that note, I think I've said all I need to in this topic thread. Peace. *backflips out the door*

I was not "shaming" KRR. I was just saying to not beat up a dead horse, AKA trying to "revive" KRR.

Ugh...

Who are the current mods and admins these days?

I think as it currently stands, the mods aren't really around here anymore. I think that's why KEEBY hasn't been suspended/banned yet.

Well, in some ways, I suppose it's a good thing they're not around. If nothing else, it's shown that the forum can stand on its own without spam infesting it... Mints' anti-spam measures seem to work. :)

The only exception is that there's a least one robot that seems to hang around. XRumerTest has been leaving spammy replies to stuff and I'm worried that it would try to do something weird like bring a virus with it. I'm not very well-taught on stuff like how bots and viruses work so I'm not sure how compromising bots are to a site's integrity.

RE: Bots. Yeah, bots posting in a forum is pretty certain proof of a lack of maintenance. It's like not visiting your Animal Crossing village for a long time and seeing all that grass everywhere!

As far as a discouraging factor, I'd have to agree. I mean, if the maintainers of the site can't be bothered why should I bother signing up?

It's sad. All it would take is one active mod/admin. It's not as if the place is over run with new members spamming everywhere. C'mon mods, someone come out of the woodwork. :)

To be fair, life trudges on and I'm sure the old mods have more to worry about than a graveyard forum board. I don't disagree- it would be nice to know that there's a mod waiting in the weeds to swat away trouble- but I'm sure that in the grand scheme of things they have more important things to worry about.

From a realistic point of view, I wouldn't be opposed to the forums shutting down. I think that the rest of KRR could still thrive under management breathing life into its database of knowledge, but as far as forums go the medium itself is dated.

...And that's coming from someone whose entire internet life is traced back to here. I would have never joined the Deviantart community or made my most popular Youtube video if it wasn't for this place. I loved being here. But in the absence of introducing a new/different form of community hub that would draw in a fresh and new audience, I don't think that KRR can centralize as a community anymore.

Exactly. The staff do not seem to care about the forum anymore, and they won't let us update the site, so some of us started a new one. One of the owner's first big plans is to get an art gallery for SFW Kirby art up as soon as possible.

I honestly don't know what to do anymore, haha.

Well for starters you could just let us have our fun. It's fine to try and make a replacement site but you're not going to win anyone's love by being mean to people about hanging out here.

Just try to remember that the age of independent sites is losing its egde. On Deviantart I'm already a part of 2 SFW Kirby fanart groups (one dedicated to the games, the other for the anime) so I don't necessarily feel a need to join any sites to see fan art. The anime group actually holds events/contests every so often (in fact I'm participating in a contest right now) which makes it feel more like a community. The group leader is very benevolent and talks openly with us about ideas.

KRR is irreplaceable because the kind of community that it was is not the kind of community that thrives anymore. You could build a different site that takes everything KRR has and make it 1000 times better but it's just not going to stick.

Yeah, I'm probably just getting old and resisting change. Still, I do like a nice central place to visit. It's like a market square. Joining lots of sites and social groups is fine but it does (to my old brain!) feel a little too disjointed...

Still, I'll keep on eye on Keeby's thing and see if it gains any positive traction and content and I'll visit the (fairly active) Reddit. I'll also keep posting here too. It does seem there are a few regulars that are still hanging around here.

I like the idea of Deviant Art but I'm not an artist so I always feel like a bit of an outsider only really capable of posting cheerleading things like "Ooh, that's cool" or "Good work!". Kinda feels a bit hollow posting the same asinine platitudes...

PS: One positive observation regarding KRR - For it being inactive this thread has managed to make 3 pages... ;)
