Hello, Forumers!

January 23rd, 2007 by bahua

The forum cutover from KC Skycrapers to KCRag is running as this entry is being typed. (Semi-)Extensive testing has led us to believe that everything’s going to be hunky dory in the new location. We’ll see how true that turns out to be. But while you’re here, feel free to have a look around.

This site will begin to get its first real load soon, and hopefully, it’ll take it well.

Welcome!

This is the new home on the web for local information, regarding Kansas City. This site is still finding its feet, and to be honest, still doesn’t even have much of a plan yet. Nevertheless, we are forging ahead in true Kansas City style: headfirst without knowing what we’re getting into.

We’re still working out the kinks of the default theme and appearance, but the links on the side should work nicely for you.

Please let us know if anything would excite you about this site. We’ll be brainstorming on the john in the meantime.

About KCRag

January 16th, 2007 by bahua

This is KCRag, a local site designed to act as a portal for all things Kansas City. It was born out of the wild success of KCSkyscrapers.com, which served for a number of years as the unofficial authority on urban development in Kansas City. Over time, it grew to be much more than that, though what it was was almost entirely embodied by its very active forum, which is now hosted here.

The goal of KCRag is to continue the fine work of the original Kansas City Skyscrapers site, and to focus the very impressive enthusiasm and energy that was once focused on a forum into more interactive, informative, entertaining, and organized pursuits. We want KCRag to be the main site that locals can search for just about anything having to do with Kansas City, whether it has to do with development, politics, art, infrastructure, culture, nightlife, education, dining, music, sports, current events, or anything else that might interest locals.

We know that people often visit Kansas City, and can find it to be difficult to explore and hence, appreciate. We want this site to be just as useful to outsiders looking for information as it is for locals posting information. We want people in bars who overhear visitors asking about things to do, see, or visit in Kansas City to know that they can refer people to KCRag.

So feel free to have a look around. The entire goal of the site is the open exchange of ideas in a completely friendly, cost-free, ad-free environment. Please enjoy.
