Community Happy New Years!
Hey everyone, this may be a bit late at night for most (and the next day for some), but just want to pop by and wish you all a hearty welcome into the new year! It's pretty safe to say the site has gone through a lot the past year, between the Forum Rearrange, lots of new and old faces popping up, and the change from vBulletin to XenForo. But even through all of that, we made it to a brand new year. What it holds for us is pretty much anyone's guess, but I'm confident that we'll make the best of it, and have a n even greater year together (even without KH3).

Anyway, if you're wondering about those Resolutions we did, they've been collected and compiled! As an addition (and because I wanted to try out the new system for it), they're in a Prezi for you to zoom in and look at! The purpose was for you and others to see what kind of resolutions floating around the site, and encourage each other and hopefully motivate yourself to fulfilling them.




In addition, we also have upcoming announcements for events and so on that will be happening in the New Year (as we know currently):

Community New Years Reminder [PIN INSIDE]
Hey guys, we're a few hours away from a new year (for some). Let's remind you of a few of our current events!

First off, we have Castle Oblivion. All the details are here. If you haven't started, I suggest you do so now because it'll be ending tomorrow.

Next up, we have New Years Resolutions. It's something very simple, but fun. This event will also be ending tomorrow. So if you haven't done that, get to it!

Now, to see if you read this. If you reply to this thread, you will receive the KH-Vids 2012 pin. This will only last for a little a few days, so reply while you can.

Community New Years Resolution!
newyearspromise.png

Hey everyone! Hope you're wrapping up the year nice and swell (or with a BIG BANG). Anyway, following a podcast on the subject, we figured that we all could do a site-wide New Years Resolution. And in case you don't know, a New Years Resolution is a promise that you make to yourself and try to accomplish throughout the year(s) to come. For example, I may feel like I'm always mean to Sabby, and thus my New Years Resolution would be "Be nicer to Sabby" lol never.

Since the holiday time is about coming together, resolutions coming in from the whole site will let you see that a lot of people may have things they want to improve on or do differently, and having that knowledge will let you feel like you do have support and that many people are all working towards a similar goal of doing/being something more than they have in the past.

Anyway, since these can be pretty personal, we're not going to use names (you are not required to send yours in if you don't want to!). Rather, we're going to be utilizing the Ask System of the KH-Vids Tumblr.

And for some quick guidelines:

Submissions have to abide by the KH-Vids.Net Rules. If we get any that aren't can't include them. ;c​
Do not submit something if you have a feeling you'll regret it. You'd have to message one of us telling us what it is so we don't include it, which is something you probably don't want us to know. Ask yourself "is this too graphic/explicit/uncomfortable/etc. to me?". If it is, best just to not submit that promise.​
Have fun! We're looking forward to kicking off the New Year with you guys, and hope for a great welcome into 2013!​



HOW TO USE THE ASK SYSTEM



When you first get to the KH-Vids Tumblr's askbox, you should see something that looks like this:

Click on the "Ask Anonymously" button.

Then type in your message:

After this, check over your message. YOU CANNOT EDIT IT AFTER YOU HIT "ASK". Then send it in!

When we go through the ask box, we will (and should) see:

All submissions are due December 31st, 2012 @ 6:00 PM EST (31 December 2012 @ 11:00 PM GMT).


The finished product will be posted in a thread on New Years Day (along with a downloadable version)!

Thanks, and hope to see you there!

Site News Happy anniversary, KH-Vids!
happy.png
Hello everyone! Today (December 28th) marks the seventh anniversary of KH-Vids! While the original site was opened on the 19th, the forums were not opened until the 28th—as the site has become increasingly forum-centric over the years, we will often celebrate on the 28th.

Now, unlike last year, we don’t have a new theme for the site to debut. But that doesn’t mean nothing happened this past year, nor does it mean that there’s nothing to look forward to! This past August saw the biggest change for the site since 2006—we moved to a new forum platform that we have only just cracked the surface of. It has seriously refreshed the site and we’re excited to move even further into its capabilities! We have a lot planned for the next year of KH-Vids, even some things going on now—we’re currently having our third annual Castle Oblivion contest, and we’re cooking up some more exciting events for the New Year, so stay with us.

In terms of Kingdom Hearts, we saw the release of Dream Drop Distance, for which we were able to provide a collection of high quality, direct video rips, thanks to Mixt! Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix was also announced, and while we still have no news on a worldwide release, this opens the possibility for even higher quality Kingdom Hearts cutscenes! The biggest news of all is probably the Kingdom Hearts series turning a full decade old—just how old does that make you feel?

Every anniversary I reflect upon just how far the site has come, and truthfully, we could not have made it this far without our lovely userbase. You all are what make this site tick, with your continued support. On behalf of the entire KH-Vids staff, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you.

Here’s to many more years of KH-Vids!
