As a former redditor I am glad to have found a new "home" and I hope I'm not intruding. Nevertheless, we are all a huge migration that is bound to change how kbin works and we're bound to piss off some pre-migration Keebinetters. The fact you guys were here before and not in reddit makes evident you don't want this to become a carbon copy of reddit. From the interface to the group dynamics, please lets us now...

What can we do NOT to ruin kbin for you?

Slightly off topic, but why are we saying 'kee'binetters? Where is the 'kee' in kbin?

I've been pronouncing it "KayBin".

Same here

That’s correct. Like sbin in Linux (the inspiration for the name according to Ernest)

Interesting, I thought it was just an abbreviation of the original Polish site, karab.in (which would also explain why 'subreddits' are called magazines, karabin = rifle). Either way, that's pretty seamless inspiration.
