How the KSP forum changed the way i play KSP

[NSEP]

Hello everybody, today (My birthday actualy but nobody cares lol) i just want to talk about how i met KSP, and how the KSP forum changed the way i play KSP. Its a pretty strange story though. So back in July 2011 or something like that, i found out about a game called KSP, so i downloaded the demo of it to check it out. It was pretty cool, and i got addicted to it really quick. I found out about mods and then i became a real KSP boi. Even though i did not know how to play KSP properly. But then, some day. I bought the real game, and i found out that the latest update was 0.16, and when i played the game, i was like: Oooh look at all the new parts. Oh! You can EVA now? Thats sooooo cool! And i got pretty hyped. And in KSP 0.16, i reached my first orbit, it was not that stable, but it still went into orbit with a PE above ground. And i also remember my first Mun encounter, wich made me afraid that whenever i do another mission, i would miss the Mun encounter. But then, somewhere in 2014, i reached my first stable orbit, wich i dont remember doing. And later that year, i found out about Dark Multiplayer, a KSP mod wich allows Multiplayer to exist, wich lead to my first ever Munar landing without mechjeb. The lander was called ''Asparagus I'' because it was also my first try at asparagus staging. But then, in 2016, stuff started to get weird. So i flew by some planets, and built a couple of station, you know, the basic stuff. But i started an account on the KSP forum, wich inspired me to do almost impossible tasks, like building a VSSTO, even though i had a Jackspeticeye kind off skill in the game. But that was succesfull, wich is mind-blowing. And because of the KSP forum, i started to like the game more and more until it became one of my hobby's. @Majorjim really inspired me to do things that i think i cant do, and the strange part is that all the thing i thought were impossible, were possible. Look at this VSSTO i made a while back:

I first thought it was impossible to make. And it was hard to make, but learning from your mistakes and stuff like that helped alot. Everybody who is new to KSP, should take a look at the KSP forum i think, especially in the spacecraft exchange (i dont know how to spell that lol). Because it makes players more skilled, and have alot more fun in the game than killing poor innocent kerbals.

I actually made the Mammoth 4 in 20 minutes and it works too!

Well I'm glad the forum community has been helping you so far. I hope to see more from you @NSEP.

May your rockets fly straight and safe. (With the occasional explosion.)

It has for me too. I feel like the forums changed me as a person a bit too. Everyone is just so nice and willing to help, and criticism is brutal and honest, which makes it helpful. I love this commuinity.

Thats true, this community is very lovable. Almost no haters. When i first came here it was a little different, because there were no haters or bullies. I used to talk on YouTube, where you find alot of different people talking about different topics. But because of YouTube drama and all that useless garbage, i left that website. So then i started talking and making friends here. The good things about the KSP forum is because it is 96% KSP related things, wich is awesome, because i love KSP.

I feel like celebrating this wonderful community kommunity. I could put an amazing and awe-inspiring paragraph here, but I'll leave that to someone else. All I can say is, this is the best place on the internet.

The KSP forum has always amazed me. The people here are willing to help, are generally friendly and have a good sense of humor, wich is basically the opposite of real life  A good example is this: A couple months ago, someone's house burned. Luckily that poor guy didn't completely loose his home, but it was severely damaged. He (or she, I don't know ) posted in this forum about his problem, and the people here started donating money to him so he could repair his home.

These Forums changed not only the way I play KSP, but also my personality. Before the KSP Forums, I was a lone wolf. But after some time on the Forums, this changed. I made friends with some people, and almost everyone around me started to like me! The KSP forum is probably the best forum on the internet. Probably.

Ps. Happy birthday @NSEP!
