I am grateful for what Kyle has done in helping to create this place. However, just because he started the place doesn't mean that it's his to do with what he pleases. I understand that he is busy, and I understand that he has put a ton of effort and money into this place. However, if he can't put the effort into making ChiefsPlanet a better place, he should be willing to allow others to do so.

Consider this illustration. Imagine that ChiefsPlanet were some sort of charitable organization - an organization to benefit homeless kids or something - and that Kyle was the founder. After starting the organization, tons of people were excited about it and wanted to make the organization a success. After a while, though, Kyle had other life issues come up and could no longer keep the organization running. Is it OK for him to simply let it die, or should he be responsible for appointing a new leader to keep it going? We're all a bunch of homeless kids, and I tend to believe the latter.

Sorry for such a horrible illustration. I realize that it's not the same situation, but the underlying idea is the same. I guess to sum it up, I mean no disrespect to Kyle whatsoever, but CP would be a better place if he'd turn over the reins.

Interesting and valid point.

As usual, you are full of shit, Jim. :)

If Kyle is offended by this thread, he's much less of a man than I have given him credit for. I am quite grateful for the opportunity Kyle has provided for us. I feel that we, as Chiefs fans, are more fortunate than most NFL fans to have a place like this to hang. Again, thank you Kyle. I've expressed my thanks to Kyle in numerous other threads as well.

No, Jim....I give Kyle more credit than you do. I'm confident he'll understand the spirit in which this was intended.

Kyle is obviously a talented and busy dude. At some point, we all have choices to make. Maybe he's wrestling with that choice. If so, that's cool. I'm merely eager to see this place take it to the "next level"--as an NFL coach might say.

If that's with Kyle; great, because I'm sure it'll be a great ride. If that's with someone else, I think that's fine too. Phil just happens to be the first dude to pop into my mind, in the event Kyle decides to hand the thing off. And it's certainly no reflection on Kyle's contributions to this place. He's the man holding the cards. No doubt about it. I'm just hoping he makes a play....any play...sometime soon. That's all.

:spock:

This might be the dumbest thing ever said on this site.

And this the second dumbest.

It is Kyle's site. He owns the domain and has every right to do with it what he pleases

Is there a screening process?

Application?

Something? ANYTHING?...

Did you read the rest of the post? At some point, you (the general you - not you specifically) have to start thinking of the greater good. You may think that ChiefsPlanet is Kyle's toy to play with and break whenever he wants to. I tend to believe that it would be incredibly selfish for someone to think only of themselves like you're insinuating.

Glad to have entertained you a second time.

It's a freakin' FREE site to discuss Chiefs football fer Christ's sake! Kyle owes NOTHING to anyone here.

If it so bad, then please create something better on your dime. Jim is right. There are a lot of ungrateful people here.

I'm pretty sure that we've had this exact same debate before, so I'll let it die. If money were the issue, I might say you were onto something. Since it's not, however, I respectfully disagree with your opinion. :p

And I would imagine many of them have never contributed to the site, either.

If it meant that we could see some changes around here, I would be more than happy to contribute. I've been assured on many occasions that such an action would be like throwing money away, however, so I'll keep my money in my pocket for now.

And if we were paying money to access this place, then we certainly would have every right to bitch about the performance issues on gameday and such. But since we're not, then I will respectfully disagree with yours.

Actually, I don't have a problem with people bitching. It just the outlandish statements like those that were recently posted that have me scratching my head.

It is just shitty to tell people something is going to happen and then not following through.

IMO.
