So I have a few questions about this switch and im sure others are wondering the same.

1) will there be any more new groups made up here? I see Jan 22 is mixed in with 2021.

2) will this site always be a option to post roll for established groups.

3) will any of this History be transported over to Discord , all the HOF Speech's, Intros, Wildcard sections etc...

4) seems like a great way to talk to new and old quitters alike but viewing via mobile its hard to tell who is in the group, making it hard to tell if everyone is on roll , I fear Accountability is going to take a huge hit and the strictness and hard nose way of killing this addiction will be dampened.

5) i know change is hard, Im being very open to it and know its a 50/50 split , like to dislike. feel a open discussion will help with the transition and open up understanding.

Oh, and I got a C note that @Athan publishes the first Dic Pic on Discord. And no I’m not talking about a screen shot of Biden.

Here we go again! A new and better...Bla, Bla, Bla, way to do things here in KTC land. Bullshit..

How the hell can I do something like the Zero Report on this black hole of a what the fuck??

Way back when-- I was very close to walking away from KTC but bird noticed my struggle and showed me how to do it.

The Tapa Crap was shit--so we went to where we were as of this morning.

Yeah! you guys are moving my cheeze, and I'm pissed!

Step Toward The Future of KTC – Discord

A while back, we started looking at alternative chat platforms for use with KTC. The old forum-based chat, text groups, GroupMe, and other communications platforms all served a purpose. They all had limitations, though, and tended to fragment our community.

It's no secret that in recent years, old-school style platforms like web forums have given way to social media platforms. Forums like KTC are a dying breed. That's why most conversations happen on other platforms like Group Me. People like the immediacy of online communications, especially when coupled with smart phones and tablets. App and mobile support for platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Discord are incredibly attractive to online users of all ages.

Because of these trends, we started investigating various mobile-friendly social media platforms. One of the ones that stood out to us immediately was Discord. The more we looked into it, the more we liked what we saw.

We began taking a closer look at how Discord in particular could be used to support quitters as part of KTC. Our goal was to find a one stop shop where quitters could post roll, engage with other quitters, and do it all through a single platform on desktop and mobile devices.

We feel Discord is that platform. Discord has a mobile app, a desktop client, and can event be used in a browser. It is well known, easily accessible, and very easy to use when chatting with other quitters. It's structure is also well suited to the traditional KTC concept of posting roll.

That last is critical, as posting roll is the foundation of our quits. As we move away from the web forum and GroupMe chats, we will support posting roll both on Discord and the KTC Forum. However, we will be encouraging all users, vets and new quitters alike, to shift over to Discord for posting roll, quitting discussions, and the like.
 
Please join the KTC Discord server and tell us what you think.

When you join, you must use the same username that you use on KTC! You can change your nickname on the KTC Discord server to match your KTC Forum user name once you join the server.

After we've verified your user name, you will be asked to agree to the server rules before you are allowed to post anything. You will also be limited in what you can do (like post roll) and view until we verify you.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

But we're working on an alternative solution here very shortly...

More than 2 million US teens say they use e-cigarettes, with a quarter of them saying they vape daily, a new national survey finds.

Terrifying.
It is. And the 'harm reduction' (IE pro-vape) contingent on Twitter is just trying to show how teen vaping is down 60% vs. 2019.

*sigh*

Mambo and his Hall of Fame coin at the Silver Dollar Saloon in Leadville, Colorado. He had this to say: “My Hall of Fame coin on Doc Holiday’s piano in the Silver Dollar Saloon in Leadville, CO. He moved here after the OK Corral and tended bar, dealt cards, and played. ~mambo 1289 ODAAT.”

Guys if I don't stop eating my cravings, I'm going to have to buy new pants!
Meh...
You will probably have to buy new pants.  We all gained weight but it's a temporary and small price to pay until you get further into your quit. 
The focus now is doing the One Day At A Time thing.  You got this ED!
Yeah, @EdT3329, I gained about 20 pounds after I quit. I stressed over it for a while, but I knew I was fighting a more important battle at the time getting my quit solid. The weight would come back off. Sunflower seeds helped some with the psychological urge to eat/have something in my mouth. The fake dips helped, too, probably more than anything else.

You can be healthier about it, though. I know you want to snack, so have low-cal or sugar free stuff. Eat nuts or raw veggies. Yes, you'll still put on some weight, but it won't be as much. And exercise as much as you can. Walking will help even if you can't do any more than that.

Don't stress about a few pounds or a new pants size. As Stillbrewing said, focus on the ODAAT right now, and keep rockin' that quit!

I need to go back to loading the fridge with olives and baby carrots. That way I’ll eat less junk.
