In nineteen months, KFN will have been an actively supported Kubuntu Linux Forum for twenty years. Why?
We aren't the largest Linux (Kubuntu) support forum on the Internet. In fact, we are relatively small, especially if you make the comparison based on 'active' users. That said, we continue to be around; to be supported. Again, why? Three things (IMO).
First is how we treat our members. We acknowledge that every member brings to KFN unique personalities, skills, and talents. No one member is like another. We recognize that members are people, and people aren't perfect. Our aim is to respect the individuality of all members, and in return, ask that respect be returned.
Second is how we maintain and manage KFN. We strive to be welcoming. We do our level best to provide the help and assistance being asked/requested. We don't tell you to RTFM (Read the F'ing Manual).
There are only four Administrators, one being our Host and Owner of KFN. We are all volunteers. None of us are paid to be here. We volunteer our time and talents (as they may be!) because we value what KFN has to offer.
And third, you, our members. KFN would be nothing without you.

by SnowhogOn 19 March 2012, KFN added Paid Subscriptions as a way for members to contribute funds towards KFNs expenses, including, but not limited to, Domain Name registration fees, Linode server account fees, vBulletin license fees, etc. We had nothing to offer members who stepped up and purchased a Paid Subscription other than our gratitude, heartfelt thanks, and custom usernames and badges identifying them as KFN financial supporters.
Fast forward to 2024. In the ensuing years, and since...-

by SnowhogWhat is Kubuntu Forums?
We are, of course, a Kubuntu Linux Support Forum. But we are also much more.
Established 2005-07-17, Kubuntu Forums was the idea made real by our host, Open Source. Little did he know then, that his idea would grow into the active community of Kubuntu Linux enthusiasts it has become. Why was KFN started? Why do people join? Why do they stay? Who are we?
Why was KFN started? Open Source's inaugural post was short, direct, and to the point: ...-
