Greetings fellow KP fans. I am "The Enduring Man-Child" and I just signed up today (wouldn't you know it, after the show is over!). I've been online ten years and just upgraded to high speed this summer.
I was first a member of the online "Chip 'N' Dale's Rescue Rangers" fan community but gradually lost interest. Then I discovered "Teen Titans" which I watched from the first episode and which I was crazy mad for (so far it's the only cartoon on whose behalf I've ever written an anti-cancellation mail; a lotta good that did!). I've been a member of the "Raven and Beastboy Fans United" forum for several years. It's a great forum with great people but since the show is over I've found I never talk about it anymore but just comment on off-topic stuff. And that ain't right.
So now here I am at Ron's board. I didn't discover KP in the beginning but only got into it last year. Once again the show is over (unfortunately!), but I believe that I'll still be able to post lots of stuff about it.
Another thing I like about the KP community (and I discovered this at the KP section of fanfiction.net) is that it has lots of older fans. As a fifty-year old male it's hard to find another fan one can chat with without feeling like a freak (since most fans of a lot of cartoons are underage girls). Now I know I've found a place where I can feel I belong and not be looked askance at because of my advanced years.
For the above reason I've actually posted my AIM screen name here. However, I'm very shy and have learned through painful experience to set up my AIM in such a way that only people on my buddy list will be able to IM me or even know that I'm on. If anyone wants to chat you'll have to send me a PM with your AIM screen name so I can add you to my buddy list (and I won't add anyone unless he/she specifically asks me to).
Thank you all. I look forward to gradually meeting all of you and chatting about KP.

Hello Nemo!
It'll take me a while to really become active here. This is a huge forum with lots of members and I'm really more comfortable at smaller ones. But give me a little time and I'm sure get into the flow of things here.

Hello there! You've taken your first step into a larger world! People nickname me Darth around here, I'm a fanfiction writer, tend to make fanvids on occasions and am one of the leading roles in the Fight For Five! I hope you do fit in with us, in fact I'm pretty sure you will!

Hi there! I'm Gabby! I just love that there are older people out there who can appreciate good cartoons like KP! I think you and Grandpa RD will get along great! ;D Welcome to RS.net! Have fun! Thank you! I'll try once I get a little courage worked up. As for adults who love cartoons, I'm a happy, incurable lifelong cartoonaholic. I watched the "Mighty Mouse Playhouse" in the early Sixties when I was a little bitty boy and except for a brief period in the Seventies (when cartoons got rid of villains and good-vs.-evil and were really lame) I've watched cartoon continuously throughout my life. I remember really obscure toons like "Here Comes the Grump," "Milton the Monster," "Dodo the Kid from Outer Space," "The Tomfoolery Show" (a particular favorite of mine) and innumerable others most of you haven't even heard of. One thing I've learned from reading fan fics is that no matter how "juvenile" a cartoon is, it can be given a serious, mature fan fiction treatment by someone who loves and respects the characters. I've tried to think of a cartoon so immature this can't be done for it and so far the only one I can think of is "Yakky Doodle" (and even there that alligator who was based on Alfred Hitchcock was pretty good!). I'm still waiting for that serious, mature, Tolkien-esque "Lidsville" fic and am absolutely incensed that "Lidsville" was not referenced in the "Teen Titans" episode "Bunny Raven." Thank you for the welcome!

Hello there! You've taken your first step into a larger world! People nickname me Darth around here, I'm a fanfiction writer, tend to make fanvids on occasions and am one of the leading roles in the Fight For Five! I hope you do fit in with us, in fact I'm pretty sure you will! Thank you, Darth! If I could try to save "Teen Titans" I imagine I can do the same for KP, though I doubt it will happen. Personally, I find the idea of a cartoon based on adult, college age versions of characters from a "kiddie cartoon" fascinating, but the problem is that Kim and Ron are out of high school now, and as far as Disney is concerned, that's the show's fan base. But this doesn't mean that we can't try! I've been hanging out at the KP section of "fanfiction.net" for some time now (I used to spend most of my time at the TT section, of course) and I look forward to eventually meeting some of the great writers whose names I have come to know there. Actually, I have a ff.net account myself (my stories are in the TT section of course), but I don't know how to post stories there. The few stories of mine that are there were posted by an online acquaintance of mine (the former moderator of the TT forum where I'm a member). She liked some of the fics I posted on the forum and she set up an account in my name so she could post some of my stories there. I actually posted quite a few TT stories at that forum, many of which (please forgive me for saying so) I thought quite good. Unfortunately when Proboards upgraded a few years ago most of these stories were irretrievably lost (including a TT version of "The Honeymooners" with Beastboy as Ralph and Raven as Alice). ::Sigh:: Glad to be here!
