About Us

Welcome to KHInsider.com! It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure to welcome you into our little corner of the world wide web! We invite you to relax, let us pull up a chair as we proudly present our introduction!

KHInsider.com (also known fondly as KINGDOM HEARTS Insider to this and that and him and her), is a KINGDOM HEARTS aficionado's news and community site designed by the fans, for the fans. We'd like to think our little party is comprised of the best and brightest in their fields of expertise from various backgrounds and all corners with the globe, each bringing forward their own unique perspective to this beloved series, whether they've just recently began playing from the newest titles or entered the community starting with KINGDOM HEARTS on the PS2 back in 2002. As the site and series develops onward over the years, we've been forging strong friendships and stronger bonds, linking towards the future. If you'd like to learn more about the team that handles the daily dos and don'ts of the site, please visit our staff page.

Our passion for KINGDOM HEARTS span from the games themselves to the far corners of the community that's burst forth with its creation and continues to flourish since then. While definitely not the first of its genre, this is the series that drew together fans of various ages, backgrounds and cultures by merging the beloved characters and worlds of Disney and SQUARE ENIX in a grand spectacular presentation. We've seen it bound over obstacles, jump through various consoles and mediums, and bless us with a wonderful new story and characters to love and grow along. These days, you'd be hard pressed to encounter any gaming or anime convention or gathering without catching sight of spikey brown locks bobbing through the crowd or a gleaming metal Keyblade sparkling in the sun.

And that is the basis upon which this website was founded - we exist to provide everyone far and wide with a one stop shop for all your KINGDOM HEARTS needs, whether it be news, media, discussion, and just all - around fandom. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, suggestions, or would just like to contribute in however way you can!

Membership FAQ

We here at Kingdom Hearts Insider understand that not everyone may be accustomed with the laws of the land, or in this case, the general rules and conduct of the forum-going experience. This FAQ exists to enlighten everyone new and old to the community and to answer the questions that arouse on a typical need-to-know basis. And because these are things members of the general Kingdom Hearts community feel they need to know, this FAQ was born.

Kingdom Hearts Insider is run entirely by volunteers who aim to deliver a bright and friendly community where people can come together to participate in friendly discussion and activities revolving primarily around the Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy series in accordance with our sister site, Final Fantasy Network. In order to make the experience enjoyable for every single individual, we'd like everyone to understand that membership access to our forums is a privilege earned, not a right to have regardless of actions and consequences.

If a member by any chance goes forth to breaks the rules or do anything in the vein that the Administrators and Moderators may view as unfit for the community, we have the right to act in response, ranging from distributing infractions to denying an account completely. Once again for clarification, every single person has the right to participate in discussions here at Kingdom Hearts Insider. However, like it is in the real world as well, that right only remains so long as you follow the rules. By accommodating this small request, a person has the right to be a member at Kingdom Hearts Insider.

I sure hope I don't have to pay to register.

So, say I were to violate a few rules...
