Ironically it's when I'm at my most tired as of recent (tonight) that the wires clicked in my brain something was different. Not mad or anything silly like that, just curious and a little bit confused what the name change is all about?

I think because Collective sounds... vague. In-fact, i don't know what it's supposted to mean "Klonoa Collectice", also the URL is probably to simplify and be more self explanatory.

I liked Collective though, as far as I heard it was meant to signify a time when Klonoa fans would congregate to contribute their piece of the pie towards community made Klonoa media.

Now "Network" kind of makes it sound like some news website  but it's not the worst thing in the world!

Maybe because they realized there isn't much to contribute for Klonoa nowadays, it is a franchise not particularly good at keeping the talk going. Really, you go to the Klonoa Mega Chat, they just keep talking about "wouldn't it be awesome to have Klonoa 3?" or "how does Klonoa's feet look like?" (look at Door to Phantomile's new game opening you Sonic mfing fan...) and most fan-art is just Klonoa x Guntz. I wish Whispers of Wind could've been something, but life is just too busy for me to do anything about it and a game it definitely can't be, but at least a comic it really could have been.

Then why not just name it Untamed Heart Klonoa Community?

Good question...?

I personally quite like the way Collective sounds. Oh well, there certainly are much worse things.

"most fan-art is just Klonoa x Guntz"
its mainly posted on #outsourced-arts, can't remember the last time i've seen it posted on the #artwork channel. But yeah, Gunoa fanart gets posted pretty frequently there.

There have been attempts to create other Klonoa servers, but none of them got as popular as KMC

You're talking as if the forum rebranded to something not Klonoa.

I'm glad the forum got some upkeep, though. I much prefer this place over Discord!
