KI is Moving and Expanding. And a new contest!

ATTENTION: WE HAVE MOVED TO HTTP://WWW.KINZISLAND.COM . PLEASE JOIN THERE! THANKS, THE KI STAFF.Some of you may have heard some rumors about a new feature coming to KI. KImember and myself starting working on KI’s biggest project ever back in November. Last month we invited the other Mods and Admins to help us finish it. We have all been working hard and would like to officially announce it.

pl086 asked me this question yesterday and I can now answer it.

What is the new KI feature that is being released?

Well pl086 the new feature is, KI Fourm, or you could also call it the new KI. For simplicity I will call it KI Forum in this article. KI Forum is a new site that we will use to build on the success of KI. KI Forum allows use to use the old KI as a reference site for the Brand New KI. KI Wetpaint will never be retired. It is a part of my memories and I cannot part with it. So instead it will be merged with the new KI. I will release more info on how they will be merged soon. I am mid-way through this process. Now you may be asking why are we moving/expanding. Well KI has been facing some challenges lately. One of the biggest is we are unable to set up a trading system there because I cannot create a secure way of doing so. Using KI Forum a Trading Exchange has become reality. If you want to you can apply to join the KI Trading Exchange to exchange virtual webkinz world items. Also the other main problem with KI is that our forum is not very advanced. Wetpaint forums are not built for the way we use them. KI is a very social community so a more sophisticated forum is needed to support or demands. I could go into detail about how the new forum will help but it would be easier for you to see for yourself. Please welcome KI Forum located at kinzisland.forumotion.com

Now you may ask how does this announcement relate to a contest. pl086 has come up with an excellent idea for a contest to help release KI Forum. We are having and ask the Staff contest. If you join KI Forum by Wednesday you will be automatically entered in a draw to win the opportunity to ask 5 questions to the staff member(s) of your choice. All the questions and the answers will be posted here on the front page later in the week.

Finally on a side note, I would like to welcome my brother KImember as co-founder of KI. KImember was always a contributor to the site even before he became a member. So please congradulate him on this accomplishment. We hope to continue to serve KI well for many months and years to come.
