Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted August 20, 2013 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
SupremoSteveo Posted August 20, 2013 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
malem Posted August 20, 2013 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
YoungStud Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 I only come on around the time of a new coaster. Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 20, 2013 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
TheCrypt Posted August 20, 2013 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

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted August 20, 2013 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
SonofBaconator Posted August 20, 2013 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
BoddaH1994 Posted August 20, 2013 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
Titan Posted August 20, 2013 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
BB1 Posted August 21, 2013 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
spitfire Posted August 21, 2013 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
Oldiesmann Posted August 21, 2013 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
secondson Posted August 28, 2013 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
