Llave

Yeah it's always been something I've enjoyed, making things for people to enjoy and create memories. I've been big chillin' in the kh13 discord with the general thread so it's been good so far hahah! Feel free to add me there in case you ever need to get a hold of me! I'm Llaverion on there or Llaverion#5718 (idk how the system works with that but whatever hahah)

A lot of the events were run by staff so once they were over the I think any staff member could award pins but only Super Mods could go in the admin panel to add and delete etc. We also have a shop in place where you can purchase it with forum earned currency but that was after I was on staff so I had no involvement with it hahaha Always good to have friends, glad to make one here!!!

Some of the pins were yeah, most of them are event and achievement related! Like when you hit premium you get the premium pin. Contests like art, music, amv video editing etc. we’d have a podcast and participants got a pin for that. Every year we did a Christmas Castle Oblivion event where you had to follow riddles to find passwords edited into the forum to unlock the subsections as levels to get to the end and you got a pin for that lol. And user awards was like an Olympic ceremony where we had rounds of voting for things like “most famous member”, “most likely to stay on KHV forever” “cutest fake couple” etc hahaha and you got a pin for that 😂 i used to help make the pins, they were out before I was staff but I took over once I was on. I liked doing that kind of stuff, lots of behind the scenes planning and designing! oh that’s cool! I’m really glad to see you guys adapted with discord, I think that was one of the nails in the coffin for our site 😭is Daniel the tech wizard hahaha?

That’s an interesting system! We have a pin system that works the same way hahah! Does the owners come on frequently? I’m not sure how often I’ll frolic around but would love to meet more folks hahah

Noice! My original username on KHV was Llave de Espada (loosely “keyblade” In Spanish it should actually be Llave Espada hahah) but over the years I trimmed it to Llave which means key. we also have a premium membership when you got 1000 posts your username became pink (or rainbow way before my time) and had a dedicated section. I don’t see anything like that here did you guys ever have something like that at one point?

No this was just a rad pic I found online years ago hahah So have you always had that username? Do you guys have a name changing system here?

hahaha thats ruthless We'd do and talk about everything too! Lots of funny threads and groups to do things with in the forum. I did a lot of art so I was always doing commission work for avatars and signatures. I ran a thread called the Postbox for a time which is probably one of my favorite things, people would send PMs and address who they wanted the message or multiple messages sent to and then I posted it in the thread and tagged the recipients. Lots of fun and I always liked when people addressed some to me and I'd answer and address them as anom as well as have fun with it like "Thank you whoever sent that ;D" In general I was always the goof ball, having the perfect GIFs to reply and just being that guy to drop the silly bombs everywhere, quickly became one of the more prominent members and it was fun... wish we could turn back the clock for our sites hahaha

Yeah hahaha same but i've floated in and out myself but cant seem to get away from it. Still have good friends on social media hahaha Oh cool, well it sounds like things were always straightforward for you guys hahaha same bosses same software What was your favorite things to do when the site was more active?

Yeah I'm hopeful too! I'm sure you feel this place has a special place in your heart, a little piece of sacred land on the internet hahahah! So you guys use invision community for your website, did you guys use another forum software in the past? How long have you been using it and do you like it? I've never heard of invision. We originally had phpBB like in 2005 i think and then after a year they bought a vBulletin account and had to start fresh so thats the official birth of the site hahaha. We had that until sometime in 2012 and imported the site to Xenforo.

KHV started in 2005, the original owner I never knew personally, by the time I joined they had their second owner. Original guy was Deathspank and I think he was active for a bit but the second owner SPdude bought the site from him and disappeared. It was hard for the active admins to do updates to the site because there was limited power or whatever and the guy was never on. Fast forward to about end of 2011 and someone finally bought the site and was somewhat active but at the time the guy was a lot older than us so he didn’t interact too much with the community but it was a good time during his reign hahaha. I think around 2015 some other guy bought it and was a troll so the admins that have been on the site confronted him and bought the site from him so finally the domain belonged to people who were active and actually knew the community. It’s been in a few hands since then but everyone since have been notable members of the community. overall staff had gone through phases, the 2005-2009 time was a Wild West of trolling, 2010-2017 was the most stable and professional time. Went through a lot of changes over the years but 99% of staff then were really good people. I wasn’t on much after 2017 but from then till about 2019 the big issue was cliques and discord server dividing community and making rules muddy etc. 2019 till now it’s been in hands of two guys, one whom I knew back then and had quite a personality but always a good heart and the owner was originally a coder when game shark stuff was around. Quite a tech guy. The place has died down and like I said not much activity aside from a few spurts.

Makes sense, well it's a very good idea! How many owners has the site gone through? There was a time when ours was playing hot potato hahahaha Sorry for the interrogation, I find all this trivial stuff absolutely fascinating! I'm really enjoying our conversation hahaha

Hahaha heck yeah we are like long lost siblings but on kh forums lolol. I joined KHV in 2011 and it looks like you did here too soon after. Idk how long it took for you to get on staff but I joined in 2013 and was a public servant till 2016 hahah when did this forum start? I know kh insider was another big forum too. I also noticed the discord links to certain threads with the bridge thing, that’s so smart and helps keep activity here now I see why it’s a little more lively here hahaha! Do you mod discord too? I promise when I play I’ll let you know what I think!!!!

I was a sectional mod for a year and then promoted to super moderator until I resigned. Life stuff and work mostly, but would pop back on the site ever so often hahaha I love the series but have been playing lots of other things plus got married and got two kiddos so just didn’t get around to it hahaha but I’m keeping my eye peeled for a good deal on psn mwahahaha I absolutely loved days, the graphics are really dated but for a ds game it was miles ahead of other ds games. And bbs totally opened up the whole story of kh in my opinion it was so goood

wow nice you’ve been rocking it! I was staff on KHV for a little over 3 years, was some good times hahaha im curious as to what kh4 will be, I didn’t play kh3 or the x mobile game and stuff so I still gotta catch up. Which game or games are your favorite? I loved BBS and Days, I loved my ds and psp while I was in high school

Yeah so far so good! How long have you been on staff? Seems like you’ve got quite a bit of contributions to the place hahaha
