Farewell KOS was fun while it lasted. I remember my first pvp experiences fighting ISS for C3. Just remember being told by my CEO at the time to go to some random system id never heard of and help fight, and fight i did 
Then there was the nasty expansionist months which i disliked and was quite vocally against.
Then there was fighting rise which was awesome. Met some cool guys in rise (Magic crisp is officially the best guy who fought kos ever). Then we had bob invading c3 and all other sorts of cool which was all epic fun. Remember feeling uber after managing to tank a doomsday in a prophecy. Then i remember us doing some epic tower spams to regain c3 and try and take some of the heat of goons (contrary to what alot of goons think we did at one time or another actually do stuff  ). Also like to quickly mention KIA at this point. Learnt alot from kiaeddz (mainly how to shout loudly on ts)
After that there was alot of tower stuffs so ill skip all that because tower stuff is boring (although i must mention moctobots a pretty cool guy). There was the illfated attempt to pos up RIT which didnt work well due to bob intervention and some unfortunate logistical accidents (she storm did some epic fueling runs though). Finally though bob was on the retreat and the proper attack on RIT began. It was around this time i got to fly with some FLA guys who i must mention were all pretty cool guys (except coldkill who sucks ). This period of kos history ended with alot of pos shoots so ill skip that bit (quick mention to moctobot though whoes a cool guy)
Now we reach the point of invading paragon soul which was quite a fun adventure. It was around this period were we were also finally able to pull a competent and decent sized gang. I remember chasing bob freighters all over the disjointed maze of systems that make up PS with 90 KOS guys in tow.
Unfortunately KOS wasnt best setup to cope living in two distant areas of space. This coupled with changes in leadership started to cause internal problems. When -a- attacked a tower in qrbn (yes they attacked first contrary to popular belief) we pulled a 300man gang which was impressive but the internal problems were to be our undoing and well you all pretty much saw how things went from there.
Anyways this is just a quick recollection of my experiences in KOS. Its all too easy to jump on a bandwagon and insult kos but please try and remember that there was a huge number of decent pilots in KOS. KOS was also the first place many people got to experience 0.0. There are huge numbers of people in other alliances who started life as kos pilots.
Few more people i might as well mention while im here straife, ice phrozen, fish mittens, tumbles, ocara nexus, stokar (some epic ts recordings from this guy), all of Digital renegades (had fun fighting you and learnt alot from the experience), and last but not least Plazmalord Soban who even though he had his distractors was always one of those people who could hold an alliance together by sheer willpower and shouting
