Like a few people on the Guild, I originated from a site that is hollow shell of its former self, Kingdom Hearts Insider(Khinsider or KHI, as the locals called it). I still go on that site from time to time just to keep up on who is still around and who uses it. Also, to revisit the good old days. 

From what I understand, the site is stuck in barely-active limbo. The administration is more or less the same as it was when I left it for a barely-recurring role back in 2013. 

KHI was one of those sites that used VBulletin that got a lot of recognition of actually being one of the top Kingdom Hearts fansites of its time. During the time of 2007-2010, it had a feature that was known as the "RPG Inferno". For those who do not know about it, the RPG Inferno was a browser-based software that Vbulletin had which allowed you to make your own RPG via the use of landscape jpegs and sprites. During my time on sites that used it, there have been different stories, but more or less, the RPG inferno was a godsend, because it gave people to do in-between shifting activity in RPs. Plus, it was such a hit on KHI, that it had a large memberbase who used it. There were even a good amount of guilds - or as we called them - clans. I think there was about 100 members who used it loyally. As it should be assumed, once KHI made the jump to Vbulletin 4.0, those dedicated RPG Inferno loyalists made teh jump to their own site that used a previous version of Vbulletin so they could relive the glory days. To my current knowledge, those people and their site is no longer a RPG Inferno-used site.

Anyways, this site was where I've met some of the coolest cats I know. But, it has severely diminished in activity. It had a spike in 2012, but after that, it just never recovered. I know it has a loyal number base of about 50 or so active users, but the RPing section doesn't even have a tenth of that(to my current knowledge). For all I know, they could have more than that. I know a few of the people I hold near and dear to my heart have returned, but I doubt it'll regain its former glory. People have moved on to other things, either other sites like I have with the guild, or their own lives.

But, I will always hold a special place in my heart for Kingdom Hearts, for without it, I would have never discovered my love for roleplaying, and as an extension, finding the Guild. Funny how things work out, huh?
