Complaining is nature's way of frustrating you further.

I keep hearing that it is NOT a money issue but rather a time issue. I have no problem chipping in a little to help out if it is needed.

It's simply not as much "fun" as it use to be....nothing "wrong," just wondering about can't it "be better?" I say, an emphatic...."probably." :)

what made it so much "better" in the past?

I hear a lot of pining from originals about the days of yore, and I wonder if it is b/c those days were truly better, or just the constant desire to angelicize nostalgia.

let me know if I can do anything, I'm here all day, most nights. Give me a key, I'll tidy up before I leave.

people have chipped in here at least a couple times in the past. I have added more advertising to the new version that would help bring in a bit more money for him, and we have had offers from outside advertisers. I also offered to set up an Chiefs store where he would get a share of the profits and actually have to do nothing. None of that changed anything.

From what he said it sounded like he had the upgraded hardware ready, I'd be excited to get on it and see if it could handle the load. I'm sure he plans to wait till after the SB though. I don't think any of the site admin's have heard anything about it though.

sounds like you're projecting....

this place is what it has always been: a no-holds barred place to discuss football and poop

so what if the names change? the new people are just as good as the old people...and to believe otherwise is just nostalgia and ego

what more do you want? premium? scoops? flashy banners?

I don't think that has anything to do with Kyle though.

Heck I miss TJ coming over here and starting shit. Now that he has become a father he has become soft. :D

Seems like I remember a thread with people asking him to go ahead and upgrade before the playoff game but he didn't want to for fear of it going haywire and we would have had no place to post then. I would have been ok with the risk though.

Exactly. So what if people have come and gone. That is always going to happen. This place is every bit as fun today as the first day that I lurked.

It could be, in part, what you are suggesting. Fond memories, and nothing more.

More likely, it's the fact that you (and those like you--and Believer) would have either....developed a sense of taste, decorum, and moderation....or they'd have been kicked to the curb, by now.:)

that's honestly how I feel....hell, during the World Cup was probably the most fun I've ever had here, and it wasn't even football...which is why this place is great

You could be right....

but, more likely (and as usual,) are wrong....yet again. :)

:D

Soccer? :spock:

I rest my fuggin' case.... :shake:

and generally in that order........

I think it would be better with some nice roman shades, a few throw rugs, and color coordinated pillows.

I also believe that it was a huge mistake to "de-fang" Mr. Skip Towne.

FAX

what case?

that you don't understand this place at all?


the World Cup thread was one on the greatest threads on this board...it was EPIC in size and duration...the planet is great because it allows for everyone's interests...poop, soccer, prayer threads, football...simultaneous...

I still have no clue what you're complaining about.

:eek:

What the fugg???? :spock: How did I miss THAT??? :hmmm:


Are you serious? Mike nearly dies, has his house burns down, and then we do that to him????

WHERE is our humanity??? :banghead:

:shake:
Uh-huh. :)

That's okay, sweet-heart.....

You just go right ahead with your Bush-bashing, and conservative-hating......crap, over in DC.

It will make you feel better. Really.

:)

What happened to Skip??

I know about the house and hand..I mean the ''de-fang'' part?

Ditto. This is news to me.

They had to remove his teeth after he developed rabies. Somebody said it was rats. Either way, his teeth were removed due to public safety concerns.

FAX

sounds like quarantine not de-fanging.

:eek:

Link? :spock:


I'd insist on "works cited," "bibliography," and work for group Participation Need: study firm for the nex year's nice teachers......:)

I was so disheartened after hearing the news that I've blacked out the source, Mr. Mr. Kotter. It's like anterograde amnesia brought on by visualizing a life without chewing.

FAX

I don't think they quarantine your teeth, Mr. crazycoffey. At least, I've never heard of that. This was a severe case so the teeth were removed. Maybe they kept them in a sealed bottle though, I don't know.

FAX

I post on a semi-regular basis at 3 other boards and have visited countless others and nothing,I mean nothing compares to the Planet in my opinion,but then again I'm never here once the noon games kick-off and usually don't check in until the Sunday night game is over.

I don't think the planet needs the likes of myself,Phil or BRC to have ownership because again in my opinion we're too close to the action if you will.I belong to another board with an owner alot like Kyle(he pokes his head in from time to let everyone know he's okay)and I think the community is better for it.

It's just my .02

The peasants are revolting!

They smell nasty, too.

FAX

Like Iowanians? "Kill that baby yet?"

Eh, he pushes the envelope, just like most of us. I suspect that sort of a comment from him was TIC....heck, he may have even added a, for him, rare smiley....

The difference is he's damn funny---very entertaining, most of the time. Your bitter, depressing, and delusional self-pity and victimization mindset on the other hand....meh, not so much. :shrug:

:)

I feel the same way over on Patriots Planet. I would run some of the upgrades myself, but I am not a DB guy either and I am a little concerned about how it would go. And we are on VB 2.2.8. I've hacked in a few mods to get it closer to VB3+ but a lot of features I have to wait for.

I guess i'll know the day that Phil buys CP....I'll be banned and Hootie will be able to make threads...

Interesting, for some reason I thought you were ahead of us on VB levels.

morphius ought to pay closer attention.

WAY behind. The board is stable and fast most of the time, so that is good. I think the biggest thing we miss is the Rep system. I could install something similar, but I have been staying away from hacks that modify the database, hoping that we can be upgraded soon.

WHats the sensitivity levels over at the patriots board like?

Could I say something like...your mom is like a poptart...shes great out of the package or toasted, you can dunk her in milk, after the second time youve had her you still want more

That is painful indeed.

Though if I might suggest it, you may want to stay away from the rep system, it is a big pain in the butt sometimes.

I am sure there is some history here that I am not aware of. On it's face that statement wouldn't be a problem. I suppose it depends on context.

That is his "thing", perverse Mom jokes.

There is...

I don't own a purple hat.

They are NOT perverse.


WOuld you rather me talk about planeteers wives/sisters etc?

Or a Zappa 'stache



Thanks for the info Morph....

While I am here, is there any reason why no matter how I have my options set here, I get the "At Work" mode?

There are a lot of things I would prefer, but rarely do we get what we want...

You may have a cookie issue, in that case you would need to delete your cookies and then try changing it. We have had that issue a few times.

Thanks. That did it.

This is exactly the problem with your analysis, it's entirely subjective, and not framed with any sort of reference to reality. Check out the thread "who has given you neg rep", read those comments, and still tell me you believe that was a TIC comment. Much like that, your lamentations for the olden days don't really have any proof in the pudding of your assertion, it's far more likely that you prefer them just because you were around here longer. Tough shit.

You know what, dip your pickle in battery acid.

I did make that comment, directed at quicksurfer. He'd been throwing a tizzy fit about not finding a cat he was too high and lazy to look for, and had spent a couple of days being very cavalier about getting his girlfriend an abortion, and was only concerned by the cost and inconvenience. His attitude was similar to throwing out some bad milk.
It was probably close to the line and I removed the comment later, but I stand by that sentiment with his attitude.

You can fancy yourself a vocabulized psuedointellectual all you want, but in the big picture, you routinely show that you know exactly jack shit.


as for Kyle....You guys should get off his ass. He is going to do the upgrade a year and a half ago. Sheeeeesh.

regardless of that, the board works, we're all here. Show enough antagonism and he might just pull the plug.

This thread is about 12 months too late. Phil isn't here nearly as much as he used to be.

Plus, this place is mine now and I'm not giving it up. :D

Actually, the quality of the football discussion has gone down a bit. Not nearly as much X's and O's as there used to be.

does that mean we have to pay 19.95 to log on to CP from now on?

You and the triumvirate of lackeys Dole, Zach, and Morph is fine really. I've got no complaints about what "is" really; more a disappointment in wondering what could be.....and us not being able to move toward that. JMHO

Yours, eh? At least now I know who to complain to, should I ever get the urge. :p

Agreed.

Next thing you know, it will be time for Carl to pack his bags...

....Updates, man. I'm all about updates....gotta be informed, educated, and knowledgeable, dag ggum it. :mad:

You don't have to click on the thread, you know. :harumph:

Hey Kotter,maybe you should offer Phil a $500.00 donation to buy the place. I hear he'll fall for that line everytime.

$17.95.

ChiefsPlanet.com is your budget ripoff forum.

This place has gone to shit since Kyle left.

Almost all BB's are at the mercy of one man. This is not unusual. I think all Chief fan boards are set up like this. The owner has posession of the hardware, the rights to the name and does most of the upgrades. You are at the mercy of one individuals actions.

Most of the time its because they had a vision and put their own hard earned money into that vision. As an I.T. techie I understand the reluctance to give up control of the software or hardware to some one else. That path has been tried.

Complaining about the situation will not do any good. Starting another site and saying lets all go here will not work. You will never be able to duplicate the Planet on another site because some posters will not follow.

Since morphius began his admin duties the Planet has run much smoother. We all just have to wait until the hardware gets upgraded by the owner.

I met Kyle this fall and shared some jaggerbombs. We talked a little. Seems like an okay dude to me. I'll give him some slack on this.

I know. I don't mean to "complain" really.

I'm just impatient. :shrug:

FYP.

sure, but everyone has discussed those things in the past...the players change but the discussion doesn't...personally, I don't have near the interest I used to in X's and O's...I'll leave that to the kids...

I understand your point of view. And I'm not suggesting the quality of the Planet has gone down, just the quality of the football discussions.

Frankly, I get my fix in the DraftPlanet forum. It's perfect for those of us who miss the in-depth football talk.

I still think the quality of the board has dropped as a whole. There's not the same level of quantity or quality, either one, from back in the heyday.

Which is probably good for those of us trying to live our lives in the 'real world'.

Wow. "Bolded" even. How close were you to clicking on a smiley? :spock:

the domain expires on 17-aug-2007. Someone should put in a backorder for the domain hoping he does not renew in time. :D

Not gonna happen.

I know.

Damnit Kyle Peterson!!!

:cuss:

Well, I'm one of the ones who came over from WPI. So I have neither much history with Phil, nor any history with the planet.

e-messiah he isn't, but I think most people like his "style" because it's a fair style that encourages participation and getting along without losing world class humor.

Dare I say "common sense" applies as a descriptor.

That said, I wasn't super involved there or here, so this is just my surface observations.

P.S. I don't even live near Kansas City, so you can know that my comments haven't been swayed by Phil's legendary talents with the smoker. someday perhaps.

He never gave me one, but I don't swing that way...

Good luck in your search though.

ROFL

That's all very kind, exaggerated though it may be.

I seem to have a knack for making people feel comfortable via text. Obviously I've dedicated a great deal of time to the Chiefs online community whether it be here, Warpaint, 37 Forever, the original Star board, or a host of other Chiefs related sites too numerous to mention on which I've participated. I try to be fair and I think I succeed in doing so a lot more than I've failed. I believe in giving people multiple chances, sometimes to my own detriment. Contrary to the content of this post, I don't generally like tooting my own horn. I know that the Planet has been a success in spite of me. I know that Warpaint nearly doubled in terms of registered users and quintupled in traffic in the past year not solely because of me but because I understand how to encourage participation and make a message board interesting to an array of personalities. Ultimately the success of any site depends on the user community itself. They make the place interesting to come back to repeatedly. If you have boring leadership and members, you'll have a boring site. But if you have colorful participants as we do here, everybody wants to "tune in" to see what they have to say.

FWIW, that "legendary" sense of humor has the ability to alienate some folks as well. I'm not a popular figure over at the Coalition and there's another Chiefs site on which I refuse to participate because I've been trashed unfairly for being a cutup. Some people don't "get it" and that's too be expected. I'm sure I'd be offended by myself if I ever took myself seriously.

I wanted to but you brought a girl.

I once saw Phil scissor kick Angela Lansbury.

Regarding my shit: I could shit out my intestines from Ebola, and their bloody lining would contain more insight, reason and intelligence than your tripe could ever approach on your best day. You've found a niche here...congrats. Much like the dumbass senior that everyone in the frat loves in spite of the fact that he licks ashtrays when drunk, and pisses himself for two dollars, you're popular, cue Nada Surf. I was there that day, I read that thread, my name is the first one in the goddamned thread, you slack-jawed fuckstick. QuickSsurfer didn't show the kind of contemplation one would normally see from a person regarding that subject, but there is a difference between being dim, and being a murderer, as you so brazenly conflate him to be. You might want to take a history lesson, or you could just put that gorilla suit you fancy so much back on your wife, so she's actually cute enough to give you a slightly curled semi.

Regarding you: You walk around here like you are some kind of badass laying the textual smacketh downeth on all those who appear to transgress you, when in reality your imagination is about as substantive as the trail from your ass to your shriveled nutsac. You're an internet bully, basically a watered-down e-version of Sid Farkus, or the trailer dweller whose best days were when he used to abscond lunch money from his 3rd grade classmates when his dumbass was 11 and three years behind. You can't function properly unless you are a segment of the mob mentality, piling it on someone while the other dolts cheer you on. You're a nothing, and you always have been. You know it, and I know it. You don't like me because I'm smarter than you, and I let you know it every time I reply to one of your posts. You don't like the fact that there is a mutual knowledge of my intellectual superiority to you. Sorry, but I don't give a fuck. Deal with it. I can point out your hypocrisies the same way I can squash bugs. Christian man, eh? "Dip my pickle in battery acid". Thanks. The comment itself doesn't bother me, aside from its banality, but it does make me laugh. You, who claim to be a Christian, as you do in the one of the Believer threads, come across as the most hateful and abusive person on here...you're a complete hypocrite, much like your brain is five pounds of monkey shit stuffed into a ten pound bag.


And next time, instead of vocabulized, go with something like garrulous, effusive, or erudite. But then again, what should one expect from someone proud enough to encorporate central Jesusland into his user name.

Dumbass.

I'm convinced.

Go make me a pie.

I don't think you're all that incredibly intelligent either. Sure you throw down some $.50 words and sometimes you spell them correctly but you're a prick more often than you're kind. Plus you're screwing up my "I love Phil and here's why" thread. That's just wrong.

Prick.

Have you served in the military?

Well shit and here I was going to read a book tonight

Without taking sides...

That was a quality post.

Thanks Sully.
