    I was thinking the other day, KAG might just have the best community ever. The devs are awesome as well, you can literally talk directly to one of the guys MAKING the game and they'll respond, and they're not super formal professionals, they're like bros, sweet ay? :shad: And as far as the community goes, heaps and heaps of good as fellas and fella-ettes to bash about with. And our stereotype angry child gamers aren't even that bad, they just don't understand why building a giant stone stick that bends backwards over their own base is a bad idea. And the forum guards are mean to (Uh in NZ mean means good, wow just said mean twice in a row, maybe the first time I've done that in my life). So yeah does anyone else know any community that is better than this one, coz I've seen a couple that are really good, but not as good as KAG's.

    Nope, this is imo the best game community around, and I'm glad to be a moderator so I can help out this great community.

    Would be nice if the kag community was also able to code some nice addons and extensions.

    This community is the best at least from what I have seen. Majority of players may be a little.. silly? But their attitudes aren't often so bad. :shad:

    I really do like this community, at least the forums part.
    Some of the in-game idiots get on my nerves, but every game has that.

    It's among the best I've seen, for sure. Plus you can swear on the forums which is nice.

    As far as game communities go, it's certainly one of the awesomer ones.
    And the devs? Well, I already sold my soul to them, so good luck beating a negative response out of me. :P

    I've tried to establish myself in multiple indie-game communities. Either people are too inactive or just being elitist jerks, calling me an "idiot noob."

    This is the first place that I truly want to return to. A lot of cool people here, friendly and helpful, but also knows how to mess around. All in good spirits.

    Now...where's that wallet? I would like to become a donator myself. Yeeees.

    Edit: So yes. I do consider this one of the best communities that I've seen.

    As the other person mentioned, communities in other games also start out as nice, cozy group of fellows. It's when the game develops a big community when it becomes hard to maintain a healthy attitude of players. Besides, developers are people too, one day they will get tired of "caring" so much, so the distance between them and the community will get bigger. But that's not always bad, it's just a fact.

    Bottom line: time will tell.

    I've been in much better, for an indie game and people used to this I imagine they consider this the best, but I've seen so much better :(

    Problem is there are still some limits which may bring problems in the future when we attract more tards

    Indeed, Luigi and Snow. Only successful (important point. I'm part of a good few indie and just small games forums but a lot of them are dead or as good as) game's community that doesn't make me recoil in disgust is the Dwarf Fortress one and a few roguelikes.

    This is due to the moderation (perfect level) and the fact the entry level is so high. Few teenagers, arseholes, and assorted retards are going to wander in, and the few that do are going to be of a high enough calibre as to be passable. The few that don't are handled by the mods. Now, in a free game about cartoon knights on the other hand, the entry level isn't there. Every bored child comes and unintentionally shits the place up. Every redditor sees a free game and comes to spend an afternoon deliberately shitting it up.
    :shad:
    In our defence, we do have a decent mod squad (not that I'm biased, or anything), so it won't be an easy win for the shitposters, but, long term, they're the ones with the most free time. If they ever come in mass from the pub servers to the forums we'll have our hands full. I don't think we've established a stable board culture yet, but we're on the way there. Once we do, the board can defend itself.

    Really, we'll just have to see how it all turns out. I have hopes we'll at least maintain this quality and eventually get on Bay12 levels, but we'll see.
