Ok let me just get this out before I dive in.  Yes Kraegar created a damn mermaid, and is freaking awesome.  Ok now that I have posted my standard Kraegar fanboy pic....lets continue.

So if folks have noticed.  There is shit ton of people in this club. And at the time of writing this he KE Portal has 3989 members with the main site not far behind with 3875 Members.  Yes growth is accelerating, as there has always been about a 250 member gap between the two sites.  Well that is now closing.

What does this mean?

Well...it means a lot of new folks, a lot of old folks, and a alot of everything folks.  For us on the admin team it means more responsibility.  It means keeping any drama at minimum, adding new features to help current members and new members navigate, and simply keeping the interest in the community alive and encouraging users to produce more content.

As @Oz70NYC being a forum administrator is not easy work.  It takes time, patience, and dedication, to ensure that you stay above the fray. Giving people enough space to say their peace but ensuring that space does not become a toxic hell stew of garbage dragging the community down.

While May is approaching us fast, soon enough we will be right there in October celebrating the first year in. Which in my opinion was a huge success.

A Refocus of our Mission

Just want to reiterate that our initial focus stays the same. That is to foster a vibrant modding community for TK17 were modders, content creaters, and players can all enjoy the fruits of the community without fear of reprisal. Doesn't matter if it is Smoke, Oz, Euphie, GK, x17, or myself...that mission remains the focus for all of us. 

Site Updates

Well some of the nice things about paying for a premium community application, is that you tend to get some pretty sweet updates.  We are looking forward to IPS version 4.6 that will bring some new features into the community.  Like usual we will discuss as an admin team what will work best for us, but be on the lookout for some major updates coming in the next 4-6 months.

Anyway as always you can find me and the rest of the Exilers on www.klubexile.com
