Dan Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 What's the member number really mean? I'm #911, but I joined in 2002? When we merged the forums, the member number stayed with you. Since you were member #911 from PKIU, that member number stayed with you. You joined PKIU before PKIC was even created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianapolisman Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 April, Forth 2008 I actually found this site researching the new coaster for 2009. When I went to the KIC day this year I was refered to as "Newbie" instead of Sean which was cool w/me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I joined in May of last year (2012). I'd previously read the forums on this site for a while and really wanted to join, so I finally did. Random Question, though: Where can I find my member number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TombRaiderFTW Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (Thought I already posted in this thread... Apparently not, since 90% of its posts are from before I joined.) September 2008. That was a couple months after I joined KIExtreme, which, for me, is now a mausoleum of my most embarrassing posts ever. (I used the word "n00b," complete with both zeroes, so, so many times... So embarrassing, haha. I'm sure a couple posts of mine were SH0Xing--right, ahank? ) I will say this much for KIC: even though I was never around for PKIU, etc., which many of you seem to consider the glory days of the site, this place has more or less consistently remained one of the best park/coaster fansites around. It's had its rough moments, but it always seems to work out in the end. There aren't unreasonable forum rules, disrespect for the park and its rules, or an epidemic of know-it-all attitudes like several sites I could mention. Trust me, I've shopped around to see what's out there. (TL;DR: GROUP HUG.) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I joined after visiting the park for the first time in years back in May 2009...although I had checked this site out quite a bit before then, as it was buzzing with news about the then-new Diamondback roller coaster. Wow, it hath already been 4 years... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 My first trip to Kings Island was in 1995 when I was two years old. I went multiple times each year until I was 8, and then we switched to Cedar Point. In 2007 I visited the park for the first time in what seemed like forever. Diamondback was being built the following year and I love watching construction of new rides so I joined in 2008. I didn't think I would stick around after DB was finished, but after many more trips to the park I like it more than I like Cedar Point. This is my number one website, with Pointbuzz close behind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Wow! Talk about bringing back an old topic from the past, Gabe! Its hard to believe that this site has been around for so long! And that I have been a staff member for eight years now! I first became a staff member right before WinterFest in 2005 after taking some pictures of the set up for Winterfest in October of 2005. The site has allowed me to build many friendships over the years, and has allowed me many unique and special opportunities at Kings Island over the years! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I joined back in 2010, when I was still just a reader. Since I didn't visit KI between 2003 and 2012 - or any Cedar Fair park between 2008 and 2012 - I never found a reason to post. There would usually be something interesting here to read, though, and I'd end up helping my family with their visits to KI and beyond. After reading enough about new management at Cedar Fair, I finally decided to see for myself what a decade had done to KI. As my interest grew, I asked a couple questions here and popped into a few threads. (Somehow, the 2-day ticket became a season pass, two days became six, and a few posts became a few hundred. I blame the Customer Service attendant at Kroger who upsold me.) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
