Hi, I'm The Raincrafter, and the majority of people here have probably seen me at least once. I joined on October 27, 2014, and I kept posting here at the steady rate of ~1 a day for over a year, but around early February I entered a 9 month hiatus due to the new forum software, @Flymetothemun quitting, and a general lack of interest for the going-ons of the forums, and the only activity I had here was lurking every few months to see if I was comfortable falling back into the community. Today just so happened to be one of those days when I was lurking, and I thought that the community had finally gained enough interest from me to warrant a renaissance of my presence. So, I logged in, changed my avatar, and got to posting this (how meta). There were a few reasons I did this, and here they are in bullets: 1. I never stopped playing KSP. Seriously, I never did stop playing this game, even when I was completely silent over here. Actually, just a few days ago, I built my first functional SSTO in the aero model implemented all the way back in 1.0! So yeah, I am still playing the game to this day, but this wasn't the only reason. 2. The community seems more lively, and everyone's stats are higher. A lot more posts are being sent out than before, the Rep-Grand group is 1k instead of 500, and quite a few people have reached 1k posts (Salvager reached 10k in July!) I only remember the forums when it was impressive to have 500 rep and MadRocketScientist was the first guy to hit 1k posts, so I guess this encouraged me to come back. 3. The releases seem to be less problematic than usual. All the problems kind of took people away from the game (or at least being positive about it), and now that are starting to go away. 4. (The final reason) THE FORUM SOFTWARE ISN'T THAT BAD. It's no VBulletin, but I can say that I am used to it. So, there was that, and I hope you enjoy more of me here (expect regular posts for at least a week or two.) Rain Out.
