Some recent posts and topics about KIC got me thinking. As is often the case, the discussions were about what is wrong. My thoughts took me a different direction and reminded me that there is a lot of good and positive things in this community. A few examples:

- Coasting for kids: I know/saw several KIC'ers donating to others

- Posts about difficulty in ones life: It is easy to see/feel the support in the responses

- Topics requesting help: There is always a good answer to be had

- Friendships: Whether they've become live or stayed online, there are many new friends to be had through KIC

All in all, even though I miss some former contributors who have left due to some of the arguments, I have to admit that I'm glad to be here and think they are the ones missing out.

I've met quite a few people because of KIC. Even though I haven't seen them lately I can't wait to have another meet-up. The last one I attended was one of the best days I ever had at KI

It's easy to discuss topics other than Kings Island, which is another problem with a lot of forums. Most people never post in the off-topic section but many do here.

The people here aren't 2Dimensional. There's more to a person than their screen-name. Basically what I'm saying is that people on here aren't afraid to show their personality. This is an actual community rather than just a place to post stuff like a lot of other forums. Of course there's going to be disagreements, but that's because we're all human here.

I think this is a very good topic. Thanks for making it!

I think KIC is a great place. No matter where you go your going to get "goof balls" and jerks. But for the most part I think this site is a great place!

I've got two reasons (among others) that have made being a member of this site fantastic:

1) The KIC event two years ago at the park

2) The "Winter Blues" event

If you were at any of those events, I don't have to tell you anything, and if you weren't you definitely missed out!
