As with any new community, we have folks moving in and getting settled, while others are finishing the build-out. Others are painting walls and hanging pictures. Don't know if you have noticed, but everyday, our community changes- that's the way it's supposed to be too.
Our emphasis is on "quality, not quantity" meaning we want an active community, not just folks hanging their shingle and then not getting to know their neighbors. And yet, our growth rate is constant and is branching out to include all levels of knife collecting experience and types of knives collected. Thanks for spreading the word.
There are community plans in the works too. Last week, two knife companies joined or started their own Groups. Most recently Case started a their Group. The plan is to have each knife company/manufacturer have a Group here. Any help you can provide to get their attention and have them contact me about starting a Group, please do. As with anything new, it will take time go get them, so do be patient.
Also, as you know, iKC is different. It is not a forum- yet provides discussion. It isn't YouTube, or any other social network- because it is exclusive to knife collectors, nor is it a "static" website.
As you invite new members, don't be surprised when they come check it out and decide it's not for them. iKC is about connecting with collectors.
We've had good feedback about the site and while iKC is new- and its members will continue to build it out- I'm hearing of folks re-connecting with old friends, while making new ones. That is what iKC is all about!
Thanks for your support and participation.
