The reason why you love KS? (1 Viewer)

[JimmyBacon]

I was forced to.

Lol. By whom?

@Yachii @Panda @SHlNEE What do y'all think the issues are?

I personally love it here, I think the community (although small) is really friendly and non-toxic, the staff are great and @Cosmic does a really great job at maintaining the actually site!

True

 

[JimmyBacon]

The number one thing I look for in forums is the non-toxicity; I have a history of unwittingly joining toxic forums (especially this one called LiveWire Teen Forums - I thought it was friendly and welcoming at first, but the users would keep shaming me [and others] for our "poor" music tastes), so I'm extra-careful now. Needless to say, KPS passed my test with flying colors!

I also love it because I used to go on the KProfiles forums, and this forum is a lot more lenient in that, say, you can change your username and edit posts without having to ask the admin! (not that I'd want to change my username lol) Nothing wrong over there, but then I found this place. lol

There's also a lot to talk about here, not just K-pop - general discussion, other Asian music, and even Western music. I love a place where I can talk about other faves, because K-pop isn't the only music genre I listen to.

True!! Don't change the username ahh

Yes there might be some issues in general, but all of us here in the community comes from different countries, careers, intentions. Its definitely going to be much more easy to spot the flaws as you guys do when being here for quite some with our community being quite small, that being said, i am always in constant discussions with the team to try to improve the forum the best we are able to but there are obstacles in achieving that when i have no feedback to rely on to maintain the dream forum i have in mind since 2018. Please do send me feedback i won't bite.

There will always be users or opinions users aren't able to agree with together but that is what humanity has operated on for the last 200k years, we simply migrate away and form new tribes or nation state that we can agree with. One day i hope i can turn ks into a dream utopia where every can get along well but that will take some time. KS has been a first for me and many of the staff, took some time to get to a stable state but i hope we are going about at it in the correct way.

Thank you for giving us a chance & i hope to change your mind about it as we age together over the years.

PS - i am on hiatus till sunday, so if anyone send me anything, i will reply by monday.

I thought you like biting lol

First of all, I have to state that I'm not asking for anything to change. The real problem, for which I'm not completely happy here, is that I'm a misfit for the forum. The forum is called KpopSource, yet I'm not a kpop fan. My real interest lies on Japan and its alt-idol groups. Think about PassCode, Neo Japonism, Necronomidol, Kolokol, Jyujyu, BiSH, BBTS, BiS, Yanakoto Sotto Mute, etc. I sometimes feel really constraint on what, where and when to reply. The ban on the creation of new Japanese idol badges has not helped at all. And the fact that the KS Daily is exclusively kpop oriented reinforces everything.

Again, I have to repeat that I'm not asking for anything to change. I am the problem.

I really have to say thank you cuz you are the one who taught me about Japanese things and I'm still learning about them. You are really a needed person here Mrs.Passcode

I like that only the people I liked--from the other forum--came here... None of the... trash from "the other forum" came here... although they did throw a lot of shade at kps... even though kps has the better interface and does everything better with a smaller budget. The award system and events are better too.. And no one (that I have seen) creates kps accounts just to respond to a post that upsets them.

You always write everything so beautifully <3
But yeah, to be honest, a lot of this would be personal preferences so I don't I can outright complain about some stuff. But KPS has grown to a beautiful community and I know that this place will only get better and better tbh. For me, I can say that it's just personal issues I have faced.
