Oh I'm sorry, but I find this thread title rather offensive.
I completely agree with Orion's comments. That's how I feel about the series, and he's right that not all members of KHI joined because of the series; people've joined because their friends happened to be members here.
And yet just because that's my personal opinion, I'm not a "real fan"? I'm "hate dumb"? Ooooh how wrong that statement is. I've been a fan of the KH series since the first game came out in 2002. I still have my original copy. Bought both KH2 and BBS on release day and I proudly own BBS:FM.
But of course, it would appear that just because I find faults in the series (it's not at all a perfect series folks), or because I happen to think some of the cast members, namely Kairi, are poorly written, I'm not a real fan?
I'm a bonking real fan. Deal with it.
