Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Does anyone have a time of the year where you lose interest in KIC and Coasters in general? For me it's after Christmas and all the way through mid- March. I also am pretty disconnected during haunt due to Marching Band. But I usually check the site most every day of the year as opposed to having a tab dedicated to KIC during the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupremoSteveo Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'll go through days where I don't check the forums very much, but I can't stay away for long amounts of time. I don't know how to quit KIC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The decoding thread got me in the habit of checking this forum way too often. Miss a few hours, miss about five pages. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungStud Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I only come on around the time of a new coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm on here most of the tome, but like malem said, I was checking this site way to often this summer. I have died down since the announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I only come on around the time of a new coaster.Despite what's gone down between the two of us throughout the summer, I hope you stay a little bit longer after Banshee's hype dies down. I actually like a lot of the non-Intamin posts you make, and I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on other topics. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 During the off season when the park closes, I go to my winter home on the beach in Hawaii or I will go on the around the world cruise on the Queen Mary 2. Other than that, I just think about things that might be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I think I like the "offseason" better because this site gets me hyped for the upcoming season. TOPGUN1993, please come back with a flashback until 2014. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Statistically, there are less people on KIC during weekends - especiallty when the park is open. The traffic on KIC directly coorelates with the news coming out of the park. So - for example - we managed to crash a cloud server the day of the announcement breiefly, but we don't see as much traffic on a Tuesday in January when the park isn't building an expansion. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I've been spending a lot more time than I should be on KIC lately. Usually I don't get on much during the summer and fall, but the whole Starting to Decode 2014 topic changed that. I like coming here in the off-season a lot more because it kills time until the park opens and usually there are a lot more "interesting" threads. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I take breaks for many reasons. One being that I need one once in a while, I need sleep, I have other sites, as well I just need time for me ( i e workout, & music) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 In the past I have spent less time on here during the winter months, but I think that will change this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 It depends on what's going on at the park and what else I'm busy with at the time. A couple years ago when there wasn't much going on in the offseason, I disappeared in the offseason, but the buzz of Banshee and the fact that I now get a notification on my phone every time someone likes or quotes one of my posts (thanks Tapatalk!) has kept me here more than usual 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondson Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I confess I don't post much during "off" times when there isn't much park-related news taking place. For instance, I still come to the site to look at different threads, but if the park isn't expecting anything new and when there aren't rumors circulating, I will simply lurk without saying anything. For me, visiting message boards kinda mirrors my real life: I tend to be a shy person, and hang out in the background observing things...even at family gatherings. I'm still "there" as part of the "family", but I don't like to be the focus of attention and usually only say something if I want to make a point. If I do say something, most of the time I end up saying too much and then people either don't understand what I'm trying to say, which can cause arguments, or I end up boring people because I rattle on and on.....kinda like I'm doing now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
