The sloppy look of the stock tanks always bothered me a little bit, these look great!

Now I shall indulge myself in the opportunity but a fourth time, by adding -1 (or subtracting +1), making the total a nice round -50.

I had made a thread asking whether Youtubers influenced the decision for people to get the game, and that made me wonder. When did you first hear about KSP, when did you get KSP, how active have you been since you got KSP, essentially, what is the story that got you here today to 1.0? I suppose I'll start with my own. I originally heard about KSP from a friend (who had the game since 0.7.3) who described it as "a game where you use rocket parts to design rockets and watch a simulation of their performance." To which I replied; "That sounds really stupid and boring, and unrealistic". Luckily for me, he eventually got around to actually showing me it, at which point I downloaded it immediately (this was in 2011, back when the game was free). I don't remember which version it was, though the atmosphere only extended to 35,000m or something. I updated the game once in a blue moon, usually after several updates had been available, and each time I (now regretfully) deleted any previous version. Eventually the 13.3 demo came out, which I played for a few weeks, then mostly stopped playing the game. A couple of weeks after 1.8.3, I heard about the update and got the new demo, and made a forum account which I only made a couple of posts, and either forgot the username and password, or it was washed down the drain in the forum april shower. I managed to actively play the demo (squeezing out every last drop of content) until June (I made airplanes, rovers, SSTO's, submarines, even replicas), at which point I decided that KSP had come far along enough that I was confident that they would finish the game (I procrastinated), and bought myself a full copy for 20$. Shortly after I made a new forum account, and in the years since, I have enjoyed being active in the community, following the progression of KSP. Since then I have made at least 10 people buy them game, and I only wish I had bought it earlier (and hadn't deleted every version before 1.8.3). While I knew a lot of the mechanics to playing the game (how to get into orbit, change periapsis, etc.), the visual concepts, and hands on approach of KSP has vastly increased my fundamental understanding of how space works. Now hopefully, my all of our KSP stories will continue for a long time, with many more updates to come. Thank you Squad for making something this awesome!

Nope. The reason why it only lasted a day was that we tried to kill it by giving him rep, and managed to not only cancel out all of the red bars, but give him a full set of 11 green bars as well, quickly becoming the member with the most rep on the forum (minus artificially inflated rep accounts, like squad, jeb, etc.) Red Iron Crown.

Unfortunately, it does not seem anything has ever come of it. I haven't heard any other news about him talking about KSP. [Edit: I now realize that this thread has been dead for a year. Face-palm.]

As a forum user, I like seeing notifications. But as a forum moderator, it makes me wince.. (And oddly enough as a forum admin, I enjoy them).

261: An unusual year, in that for the first time in Kerbal history, nothing of note occurred. (which paradoxically, is something of note)..

This seems to be how I feel. Though I find that members who have an older join date, along with a high post & rep count have more experience, such as sal_cager, Red Iron Crown, and ferram4.

1198: The last toilet for another 100 floors. It is clogged.

10/10. Practical advice regarding the ingestion of dioxygen difluoride.

Nupe. Let's see if it's really gone. Green Iron Crown. Green Iro

10/10, You have gotten your first light green bar faster than anyone I've ever seen. Also you make great crafts.

I would certainly enjoy taking that opportunity again, and so I shall indeed. I add -1 (or subtract +1), bringing the current total to a nice round -50.

Banned because I have no clue what hurt donated peanut you're talking about. Also because my head collided with one of your space bricks at a high relative velocity.

Granted. But now possessing the mind, memories and body of Elon Musk, you lose your former mind, memories and body, essentially resulting in the death of Spacepetscompany (or whoever you really are). I wish that I would always win any intentional gamble.

I add -1 (or subtract +1), bringing the current total to a nice round -50.
