COMMUNITY : NON-KI KNEXERS


Reasons You Dont use KI?

REALLY IMPORTANT
I do not have anything against KI. In fact I prefer the way it is run, with stricter rules and a more constructive community. But, I prefer to use instructables as I find the interface much more user friendly, especially when posting things


Seeing as you are a part of this group, I would like to know why you don'y use KI, for me its the fact that the interface is not user friendly, you have to use photobucket and alot of the people there act like they know everything and you're stupid. *********IMPORTANT**************** I hold nothing against KI!!!!! This topic was not designed to flame or take the mick out of either site. this topis only purpose was to see why people did not use Knex Innovation, Because of the comments by Knex Innovation users that should not be here.

the members are way too snooty. and i do not like the user interface, too forum-like. knex are meant to be built with, not discussed.

TheDunkis says: Sep 30, 2009. 2:12 PM
Oh look at this. A KI topic on ibles. Let the flame wars begin! Who will win? No one! It's the internet! Hurray! I didn't like it at first only because of what I thought of as rude members. Then I grew older...and understood. I like the forum set up better. It's a lot more organized in my opinion. The ibles style is easy to follow up to a certain point but overall, phpbb forums are just more efficient to me.

Miles Tails Prower says: Dec 24, 2009. 7:00 AM
TheDunkis, there is no more PhpBB. It's replaced with VBulletin which sucks and looks ugly. Yet another reason why i don't want to (and can't) use KI.
19
TheDunkis says: Dec 24, 2009. 8:13 AM
I noticed and I can't blame you. I hate VBulletin. I wonder if he considered what they would lose along with what they would gain. I don't think it was worth it. Either way the majority of the regulars are going to tell you that there really isn't much of a KI website anymore. What KI is exists as a group of people who all chat together in the same place. That's the new KI. The website is simply something that's there and will be used to post instructions and that's about it.

It's good because it has strict rules so you don't get a bunch of noobs on there spamming like they do here.
30
DJ Radio says: Sep 29, 2009. 8:08 PM
I bet the noobs are pissed when they find out their gun was removed and their accounts deleted.
4
oodalumps says: Sep 29, 2009. 8:31 PM
DJ, your conceptions of KI are horribly misinformed. The only time guns were removed were when a single shot block trigger was posted and when somebody plagiarized a bunch of guns off ibles. There's only 1 person banned on KI for misconduct (spamming).
14
KnexFreek says: Nov 29, 2009. 6:54 PM

Who was banned?

30
DJ Radio says: Sep 30, 2009. 1:02 PM
Do you really expect me to know how you guys moderate your site when I don't go to it anymore?
13
Whaleman says: Sep 30, 2009. 3:59 PM
If you don't know how we moderate our site, then what authority do you have to judge it as being overly harsh?
30
DJ Radio says: Sep 30, 2009. 4:09 PM
Well, I guess I misworded my above comment. I actually had the wrong idea, then ooda showed me how little I know about the behind the scenes moderation.
4
oodalumps says: Sep 30, 2009. 1:20 PM
No, but now that you know this I expect you to stop using KI's "strict" moderation style as an excuse to hate KI.

DJ Radio says: Sep 30, 2009. 1:27 PM

SEARCH BAR  (like lowney said)

a be nice policy :) (that goes for admins too) ^mepain :(

related search thingamobob off on the side

a rating system where you rate in your comment and it displays your rating

a comment tracker

a homepage for every user (kinda like ibles but with only a orangeboard and the stuff you have posted

if you usith any of these idears right heres pleases givith meith someith creditith :))




 

28
Lowney says: Oct 15, 2009. 7:29 AM
Well:
-SEARCH BAR!
-On a person's user page, there should be links and thumbnails to all oftheir    creations, like on YouTube and instructables
-Making comments should be like on instructables: when replying tocomments they should be below and to the right of the original post, notthe comment with a quote box (not too important though)
-When you make a comment, it shouldn't say "RE: (insert namehere)", it should be like on youtube and other sites where it'sjust a simple box

Well that's it  : )
9
crestind says: Oct 15, 2009. 8:08 AM
There is a search box already. I do have the other features in mind.Right now we're using a forum script which does not have those features,and the nested comment structure would probably need a completelydifferent script, custom coded probably.
28
Lowney says: Oct 15, 2009. 9:35 AM
 Oh yeah I didn't notice that!
Is the forum thing possible?
And what about having people's stuff on their user page?
9
crestind says: Oct 15, 2009. 12:18 PM
We do have a feature where you can list all the models you have made onyour profile. You just go to Settings > Profile > Instructions,and put in the links. Threading isn't likely with the current forumscript. If we decide to make drastic changes to the site, it will be acompletely custom coded site.
28
Lowney says: Oct 16, 2009. 1:12 AM
Okay!

KnexFreek says: Nov 29, 2009. 6:35 PM
i use ki and ibles and i like them both. i have less probs with ki tho. my comp has so many probs loading ibles i can even start to explain them all. i like ibles more tho cause ibles has ALOT of non knex stuff. other than that i like them both. :)
12
Jesus. says: Nov 8, 2009. 4:34 PM
i like the site. but its the register i dont like, becuase me email blocks the conformation email.
and the chat, and people like mepain who abouse there power  like mepain does on KI chat, its like you say somthing bad to him and BANNED! he takes you voice its sooooo annoying.

there thats why i dont use KI.


12
NYPA says: Nov 3, 2009. 6:57 PM
Because i got banned from there chat for being "annoying".
F*** KI.

DJ Radio says: Sep 30, 2009. 8:01 PM
Pah, they also want innovation and new stuff as well. I made some pure performance guns recently, and nobody seemed to like them as much.
23
Raz1r Knex Bull3t says: Oct 1, 2009. 4:57 AM
at KI their is really good guns but only the regualars get respect and i went over their and they made an index of why they use KI and the all famous BB said i use this sight because crestind is the best web designer ever! KI just has good guns but the reason they suck is because they have no respect towards other people but them and their guns
15
knexguy says: Oct 1, 2009. 2:06 PM
Clean up your grammar and someone may be able to understand your argument. And this is a common problem in the modern society; people seem to think they deserve respect without earning it.
23
Raz1r Knex Bull3t says: Oct 1, 2009. 4:16 PM
what the f**k did i spell wrong
15
knexguy says: Oct 2, 2009. 8:15 AM
Regualars Their (should have been there) Sight (should have been site) And what Carlisle said. There are about 50 grammar mistakes in there too.
13
Whaleman says: Oct 1, 2009. 5:45 PM
Hahaha. You made me laugh. The bitz quote was fun, too. Don't really understand how one sarcastic comment has anything to do with your argument, but it was fun anyway. Also, 'grammar' means 'grammar'. Spelling is a subset of grammar.

oodalumps says: Oct 1, 2009. 5:37 PM
"at KI their(there) is(are) really good guns but only the regualars(regulars) get respect and i went over their(there) and they made an index of why they use KI and the all famous BB said i use this sight(site) because crestind is the best web designer ever! KI just has good guns but the reason they suck is because they have no respect towards other people but them and their guns"

That's ignoring the complete lack of punctuation and capitalization.
23
Raz1r Knex Bull3t says: Oct 2, 2009. 5:01 AM
take your little friends and go back to KI and seriously just go back to KI right now if you hate instructables, we never told you to come over you just came over and started argueing with each other and sometimes i wonder why i shouldn't even get an account there the only people that i think over there at KI are good is zak, thedunkis, and any other instructablers that thought KI might be cool

oodalumps says: Oct 2, 2009. 10:11 AM

Raz1r Knex Bull3t says: Oct 2, 2009. 2:58 PM
i never asked what i spelled wrong but anyways i just don't want to argue and what i was thinking of was this we're all knexers so we should all at least respect one another and at least everyone share ideas so i'm sorry what i said before and again we should stop the flame wars and everything between us and KI and at least be friends with one another so do you forgive me?

And knexgeek's behavior is the kind we're talking about.
10
Fred the Penguin (author) says: Oct 2, 2009. 11:17 PM
yes I know lumpy but that is no reason for you to talk like that, I honestly though you KI guys were more mature than that.

oodalumps says: Oct 3, 2009. 7:01 PM
We run a site about playing with toys. Expecting maturity was your first mistake.

You hazzes a good point.

I suppose that is true lumpy, but that still doesn't excuse your behaviour.

Me saying "DURRHURR" is THAT offensive?

Fred the Penguin (author) says: Oct 3, 2009. 10:45 PM
no, but it is insulting, and you proved my point too lumpy
4
oodalumps says: Oct 4, 2009. 9:14 AM
He insulted himself worse than I could. Really, did you even read what he said? Is that even worth your time defending? And what point are you talking about? That we're immature? You don't get credit for proving something I admitted to.
10
Fred the Penguin (author) says: Oct 5, 2009. 2:31 PM
my point was that both knexgeek and you were both at fault. I read what he said lumpy, but your response was unessisary, I hope you treat people better on KI where you are a moderator.
4
oodalumps says: Oct 5, 2009. 2:53 PM
I believe it is because of this attitude I have displayed here that we do not get such people on KI. Which will explain why we only have 1 person banned. The people who would get banned stay away from the place.

Miles Tails Prower says: Dec 24, 2009. 6:58 AM
Is it me? I think so..... I'm actually sure.

Fred the Penguin (author) says: Oct 15, 2009. 10:29 PM
yes I uderstand that, I actually prefer the way KI is run, I just do notlike the way it is forum based and the interface

(lumpy, if you are wondering why I am replying so late it is because thestupid new comment formatting thing wouldn't let me reply)

dsman195276 says: Oct 5, 2009. 3:37 PM
Haha, of coarse if you think your mental and you're not, then that would make you mental. but then again, you just thought you were mental and you are, so that means you must not be mental, since you could realize you're mental. and so the paradox goes on...
13
Whaleman says: Oct 2, 2009. 5:52 PM
Bah. Sorry. I can be a bit mental at times. Anywho, what I meant was, 'I was being sincere. You make me laugh and that cheers me up.'

I do use it, because people there use proper grammar, punctuation and spelling. They also don't unnecessarily flame 'ibles. Don't believe me if you don't want to, but the only reason 'ibles ever gets flamed there, is if KI is defending themselves against people who hate it, just for having rules. Dj... I don't hate you for hating KI, but I lose respect for you every time you bring it up, even though it's purely your opinion.

I come here for nostalgia, and the warmish community. Plus, everyone here is easy to please. =p
Just kidding. Kinda.

knexguy says: Sep 30, 2009. 8:21 AM
'the interface is not user friendly, you have to use photobucket and alot of the people there act like they know everything and your stupid.' The interface IS userfriendly, and they're clearly a lot more intelligent than you, as they don't post bitchy topics like this one on KI. They ask for good, valuable posts, correct grammar and spelling (I also laughed at the error Ooda pointed out), and that you can respond and adapt to constructive criticism. The main problem in this situation is that the less 'able' builders cannot take this criticism and work with it; they come crying back here to post something like this.
30
DJ Radio says: Sep 30, 2009. 1:05 PM
When I first found the site, I could not tell who was replying to who, and as a result, I didn't know that mods were telling me not to do stuff. It took a while to figure it out since I was so used to the ibles system of replying. Plus when you post instructions, you have to use a bunch of code.
15
knexguy says: Oct 1, 2009. 10:11 AM
I've never posted instructions so I wouldn't know, but I'd imagine it would be like posting a comment (but with more code, yes).
