​

Your feet slowly touch down on the soft ground as you land with a puff of wind ...

... the lights of activity glow around you, and before you realize it ...


​

... you are now a member of KH-Vids!​

​

A hearty greeting to you, new member! And thank you, thank you for visiting and coming to join our lovely forum! Bathroom is to the left. Try not to drink too much, we have kids here. Munny inflation has gone up too, so be careful.

Eh? What did you say? You want to post a thread? Well then ...

✖✖✖ Go ahead, do so! Click on the new thread button there, add a title and some content, and there you go!​

​

✖✖✖ But, I would enjoy seeing some creative introduction posts! We are all unique individuals, with different outlooks and experiences. What does that mean? Please attempt to include some of these things in your post!​

​

> Some of your interests​

> A few things about yourself​

> Likes and dislikes​

> Hobbies and activities​

> Something interesting and unique about yourself​

> Why you joined the forum​

> Your relationship/opinions on Kingdom Hearts​

> and much, much more!​

✖✖✖ Quality threads show the difference between having little to talk about and having more to talk about. More detail means more things to talk about and more friend-sheeps to make! *wiggles hands*​

​

✖✖✖ PLEASE DO NOT POST LINKS (EVEN TO YOUTUBE)! *puts down megaphone* This is because the anti-bot filter may catch your thread in its net.​

​

✖✖✖ Finished making your thread? Everything in tip-top shape and doo-dandy skibbadydoo? Enough information to get people to know about you a bit? Something to catch their attention? Then bang, you may press the Post Thread button and awaaaaay we go!​

​

✖✖✖ ... What is this? Your thread is not showing up? Or you have duplicate threads? Contact What?, a Purple Named-Fellow (Super Moderator), or a Blue-Named Fellow (Administrator) to correct this terrible terrible terrible predicament!​

​

✖✖✖ Please note! After 20 replies, or one week, your thread will be locked. By then, you should (quite hopefully) have gotten into many instances of communication with our lovely members so the continuation of the introduction thread would be unnecessary! (You may also lock an introduction thread prematurely by contacting the aforementioned staff members).​

​

​

It is a true pleasure for you to return to our hallowed halls! Perhaps the surge of nostalgia tugged at your heartstrings? A new Kingdom Hearts release brought you back? You wished to interrogate the friend who spammed your visitor messages for some reason? Regardless of your reason, welcome, welcome!

✖✖✖ Please only post an introduction thread if you have been away from the forum from four months to a year! Otherwise, an introduction thread is unnecessary here.​

​

✖✖✖ If you wish to, please post a returning thread in the Spam Zone if you will only be gone for a few (around one or two) weeks!​

​

✖✖✖ If you posted a Departure thread, please ask the aforementioned staff members to lock it (if it is not already locked)!​

​

​

*tips hat*

It is truly sad to see you leave our lovely halls, but alas, your reasons are understandable. We, KH-Vids, wish you all the best for everything, and hope that you may one day return to us with stories of your beautiful globetrotting adventures and experiences.

✖✖✖ It would be good posting reasons for your departure, so people do not worry their heads over you. If it is too personal a reason and the like, you do not have to, however.​

​

✖✖✖ Please only post a departure thread if you will be gone for longer than a week!​

​

✖✖✖ Gone for less than a week or a weekend? You may make the thread in the Spam Zone (if you wish)!​

​

✖✖✖ No suicide threads, please. Suicide is a very dear issue; it would be best to visit the Help With Life section to help tackle the problem and the solutions it has. Among other things, our members here are kind and know well that suicide is never the answer. All of us, as a family, would want to help you. ​

 

​

Posting is the lifeblood of the forum. We are a center of discussion, after all! Because of this, the lovely introduction section has some fairly general (and simple) rules for posting etiquette!

THIS GOES FOR ALL MEMBERS
​

A Beautifully Wonderful Post Contains ||

​

​

✖✖✖ Meaningful, Sincere Welcomes: It is text, yes, but even through text one can tell the difference between copy/pasting and genuinely welcoming a newbie, so make them feel welcome!​

​

✖✖✖ A Positive Attitude: No forum is perfect. No life is perfect. So certainly, negative attitudes can leak into posting. But despite this, we should all try our best to make sure the new members feel happy for joining the forum! They deserve it.​

​

✖✖✖ A Peppering of Humour and Personality, Here and There: Monotonous posts do not seem exciting enough for the new member, and that is a travesty when every single member here has an interesting personality and holds interesting conversations. So add some personality to your post!​

​

✖✖✖ Something to Connect with the New Member: What does this mean? It simply means that good posts contain something that acknowledges the new member's likes, hobbies, et cetera. For example, replying to a new member who likes Xigbar with something you like about Xigbar, or dislike about Xigbar, or like about another Organization member as well. Be creative! This prevents generic posts.​

​

✖✖✖ Legibility: I am not asking for perfect English professor emeritus grammar! But please, make your posts legible and readable! This is also a sub-note, but a good grasp of grammar and syntax helps very much for people holding your posts in higher quality, so keep that in mind.​

​

​

​

The General Minimum ||

​

​

✖✖✖ At the bare minimum, your posts can contain a welcome and a general message of greeting, but posts like these are indeed just the bare minimum. *sobs gently*​

​

​

Posts Will Be Deleted If ||

​

​

✖✖✖ They Break the Forum Rules: Of course, of course.​

​

✖✖✖ Copy/Paste Bonanza: They contain copy/pasted messages from other threads.​

​

✖✖✖ Less than Four Words: Your posts should be, at a minimum, four words. Even a haiku is sufficient; you do not require a paragraph for each Introduction post, but posts less than four words rarely contain truly meaningful content!​

​

​

Finally, please do not post solely to get your post count up! Pride over post count should not overtake greeting a wonderful new member! Posts that are clear in existing solely to raise post count, such as copy/pasted ones, will be deleted and the member shall have a heartfelt discussion with some of the staff.

The Red-Named Fellows are the Sectional Moderators. I am What?, and I am the Sectional Moderator for the Introduction Section (among other places); your guide for the day! Sectional Moderators control specific sections, but not all of them. Although I am the only Sectional Moderator with power over Intros, send a message to any of them regarding Intro things and I can get to it.

Alternatively ...

The Purple-Named Fellows are the Super Moderators, and they control all boards in the forum. So regardless of whatever problems you have on any part of the forum, you can send a message over to them and they can take care of it. This includes shenanigans in the Introduction Section!

The Blue-Named Fellows are the Administrators, our almighty and saviours and other such glorified titles. They also control every aspect of the forum, but also have various other god-like powers. We only have four, so try not to overwhelm them, as they spend much of their dear time helping keep our forum in tip-top shape.

Along with them, we have the Green-Named Fellows, the Reporters and Media Content Recorders, who are our link to the Kingdom Hearts world. They provide news and media content that help keep our website alive!
