In one of his recentish videos he did very well using ideas he got from the forums. No Kerbals where killed in the video, no catastrophes happened. Everything went better than expected. And it just wasn't as fun, of course when you're playing your own game you want to achieve great things; going to the satellites [and planets] successfully, but what is the most interesting to watch is the more daring things: Rockets you would wouldn't normally build because they are just so mental and inefficient, space shuttles strapped to a rocket.
In short I hope Kurt stays off these forums
