The site was created by Deven. His username was DevenKH2. He retired. And now spdude runs the site.
How can spdude run the site and he's not even a premium member?
DevenKH2 originally created the site in 2003. After an... 'accident' with the forums, he remade them into kingdomhearts2.net. This was around December 2003. In late 2004, The Midnighter came onto the scene to help Deven run the forums, as they grew that large.
Sometime around December 2004, there was a lawsuit against Deven for the name of the site (still kh2.net) because it's copyrighted, so he was forced to change it. While doing this, The Midnighter had the forums moved to a new server, to help the growing population.
The re-vamped KH2.net became noobsrock.com... or something akin, because it was offered as a free domain name. This started a large up-roar, and eventually, the site name was changed to its present name, KHI.
After a few more server changes, and a couple years, Deven decided to move on to other sites, but didn't want to abandon the 30,000+ members (or w/e) it was that was here. So spduded took over...
And that's it. I think.

I read it all but nobody answered my question. How can spdude run the site and he's not even a premium member.
spdude is not a premium member, you are right, he is an administrator. =) He has more control then anyone else. He does not post a lot your right, but he's like..the KHI God. Haha. He pays the bills, runs things, a lot of stuff can't happen without running it by him.

KHI - Do it for the lulz.
I was an observer too When I found this site DevenKH2 was the owner. I think I found this site in Summer or early Fall of 2006. And now I'm a member.:thumbup:

This site really has changed a lot. Am I the only one who joined like the day they found the site?
What are you talking about keyblade2222. You joined in feb 2007 and this site was made in 2003.
KHI as a whole has come quite a long way from it's roots, that undeniable.
However, we're just as awesome as ever. ;D
