The Van

' Welcome to the Van. Everybody here is nice. '

The History Of The Van
The Van is one of the oldest chatrooms on Kongregate, currently owned by damijin. In 2007, this room was very popular and the home of many moderators, but when Ducklette became a moderator and later a Kong employee, many regulars left The Van to a new room, Feed the Ducks.

The room was left untamed and remained wild for most of 2008, with improvement beginning in January 2009. Now The Van is one of the most mature, diverse, and interesting rooms on Kongregate, while still remaining mostly unmoderated. Damijin visits once or twice each month, but rarely speaks.

The Moderator
We at The Van are lucky enough to live in an environment that does not call for constant moderation. However, if a Moderator is needed, we do not hesitate to put out an SOS.
