IMO.

I like Kyle. I think he started a great thing here, something that I bought into and was happy to contribute my time and energy into. Kyle is a friend of mine despite the departure to Warpaint and despite my obvious frustration with his methods.

I don't want to throw any fuel on this fire, but I will agree with Zach's post.

He's been saying that the thing is going to be upgraded for a very long time. He's said it's going to be "next week" more than three times. I don't know what is going on. I don't know what his future plans are. I concede to his ownership. He holds the keys. Obviously there are people who are upset. Some are entitled to be, I'd venture - mostly the ones who have put their money where their mouth is.

I love this place. I feel like it's a ship without a rudder but I still love it.

It has, there are still problems at times...but its decent. A flood can still take it to a standstill...like most every other forum.

Like RJ said...sportsline forums....scout forums owned by Fox go down often on gameday.

You just can't control surges like that without crazy wacky measures taken.

It would be one thing if this was all like this and nothing was said...

But saying "x is going to happen" and not doing it is a shitty thing to do. I understand people have busy lives...thats fine...don't go out and say the board will be upgraded.

People ask what I expect for something that is free? I guess I expect not to be lied too. Nothing more really.

You make a great point about Sportsline - but that site is literally being hit by hundreds of thousands if not millions trying to access realtime FFL scoring on gameday. This place can't handle 1000 simultaneous people.

You're right - this place does run right almost all the time - except for gameday, draft, and anytime there is breaking Chiefs news.

The only thing really bigger than your inflated ego is the void of validity to the majority of your arguements in most any grown up conversation.

As for what I do or who I am and how I carry myself, I don't require validation here to sleep at night. While I do struggle with carrying myself like a Christian should sometimes and often utilize the quick thinking given to me by my creator, I'll wager I do more in real life to walk the walk than your self worshipping, conceited, self aggrandizing, pompous candy ass would ever hope. Alot of people here know what I'm about in real life. You're just hot air and schegma breath.

For as superior as you obviously feel that you are, its equally as obvious to me that your head is far enough up your knowitall ass you'd need the Hubble telescope to see what color your eyes are. You're the cowardly lion with a big roar and $2 words, scared shitless that someone will answer your $.25 ass.

I should probably cower in shame, as you've so adeptly demonstrated your superior play of the game of life, by nearly doubling my yearly posting rate.

Maybe someday, you'll be fully employed and the real adult conversations will make more sense. Until then, you'll have to keep relying on that Freshman book report.

As to why I don't like you, it delves no deeper than the fact that you're an elitist asshole with a thesaurus and a bad attitude, and you think that makes you Bill Braskey.

Ahh, post count smack. Has the great keyboard of doom been reduced to such a quivering pile of infantile runs that it feels the need to respond so feebly?

I wrote that reply in one five minute sitting after getting back from class today and then logging on. Sorry if my ability to actually think on my feet is so threatening to you. If you think anything else, you might want to join me in the hubble deep field. Bring your crisco and one of the latex gloves that bull juicers use to jack off and then inseminate the bovine population. There might be a spare one hanging from your wife's crotch.

So an elitist asshole with a thesaurus and bad attitude is empirically worse than the uneducated asshole with a grabag of 8 major putdowns that he shakes up from time to time, but never varies. "Die in a Fire" "Stuff object X up your ass" "You're (insert douche-related product here". It's the same trite shit from you every time, and the reason you aren't called on it is because you're part of the old-timer clique.

"Grown up conversation"--by this I assume you mean the tired and old beliefs of people rapidly approaching middle and late age who have by and large given up on their own ability to actually make anything of themselves or change anything about the world. Of course, since I'm not yet a quitter, I guess I just don't understand how hard the world is :crybaby:. The sad fact about assertions like that is that they show you for the coward and the stagnant lump of prokaryote shit that you actually are.

If you want to weigh what you do in your life versus mine, you can, but I don't think that you are going to come out favorably. I'm sorry if I'm not restrained by the 9-5 job, answering to one of the Bobs, or being the lackey of any numerous donkeys ahead of me on the professional ladder. I actually have intellectual and personal freedom in my career, and I prefer it that way. There's a reason why people like you don't do what I do--you can't. However, you have so much invested in your own insular and primitive view of the world that the mere risk of trying to think outside of the miniscule box you've created for yourself envelops you in so much fear and terror that you'd sooner return to your own barbaric assumptions than ever attempt to have a truly brave or original thought roll through your head. And since you can't counter what I say with any substance, enter the grammarian trolls to try and prop you up.

I know I tried to lurk after the 49ers game and there were down for quite a while.

The problem is fixable if you have alot of money but when you own a site by yourself it is hard to pay the costs all by yourself.

I don't know everything but I think even with a signifigant upgrade....very significant. this is still somewhat of a problem.

Minimal downtime with the kind of traffic CP gets at certain points would be I pretty much want to say not a reasonable request.

007 01-31-2007 11:54 PM

I just wonder when Kyle is going to unveil his admin powers and crash the place for a couple days just to prove a point to everyone.

Once again it all comes back to money IMO.

Look at all the top sites and these sites have millions and millions of threads

I think it has to do alot with hardware but you also have to have the necessary bandwidth for the traffic.

007 01-31-2007 11:58 PM

why the hell are we having server issues tonight. This place is not that active.

This site has been approached by advertisers willing to pay frequently before I left over a year ago. I don't know why there aren't any ads - it's not because advertisers don't want to pay. Look at Chiefshuddle's traffic and their advertising. I know for a fact that dude is taking down some coin and they have a lot less traffic than the Planet.

Wouldnt matter... the people would just regroup somewhere else.

dirk digler 02-01-2007 12:01 AM

Look at facethejury.com They are rated #3 and their general board has over 68 million posts and no advertising.

That is crazy

Edit - They have a premium membership that is why.

Maybe we need that

I am a member of a couple of backup sites but none of them have the traffic this site has.
