I think he'll be similar in style...

Interesting avatar choice, to be certain.

I think guys like DCS/ROR/SDH are what ruined this board. I'll agree to an extent that 2009 was the beginning of this board's demise, but not necessarily because of the influx of Pats fans who came over. There was a lot of disagreement about Sanchez between guys who were involved in every football thread. I debated with Dane, Hamas, OTWP, milkman, etc. Usually we had good discussions. The problem was that every other post was some non-sensical response from DCS that was neither funny or clever, but annoying.

Then it seemed like he attracted other non-intelligent posters who just repeat the same meme over and over and in turn football threads aren't even worth participating in. Now every football thread has GloryDayz and other guys like that just repeating the same things over and over, and much like DCS's old posts, no one ever replies to them, but it makes reading and participating in those threads impossible.

I was wondering how someone who joined two days ago already has supporter status.

I haven't used it often but I've also never regretted using it...

What's your take on Neils Bohr's quantum theory versus Hugh Everett's so-called Multiple Universes theory of quantum physics? I'd just love to hear you talk about something else you don't understand.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
All of this could be cured
With another thread on poo

There were guys like DCS on the other side too.

Agreed. All we need is a good n00b beatdown.

And if anything the moderating needs to mellow out a little.

This place seems to be on the fence too often with the mods wanting to swing their ban hammer for little reason.

I guess I'm more talking about the style of his posts. Almost like drunken, exclamation point filled, non-English posts that he thought were clever, but meant nothing. It just felt like the overall IQ of the board decreased by about 50% overnight.

Lack of respect is one thing I am seeing.

For example, if I was arguing with OTWP, Hamas, milkman, or htmas, and if I come to a point where if I disagree with another poster's view point, I would typically just end the debate by saying that "Well, we both can't agree on changing our minds on this debate, so I'm just gonna leave it as that, and let's find something else to discuss about."

I know I had my fair share of disrespect, mostly towards Hootie (mostly warranted) and Clay, which some is warranted and some isn't, and there might be a few strays here and there on some members.

I think what is lost in this mayhem is that the basic rule here is: Attack the post. Not the poster.

Those of us that didn't "suck the chocolate penini", were called ****ing morons and repeatedly told to go die in an aids tree...constantly! It got real ****ing old. And the ones that dis "sucketh the chocolate penini" were self proclaimed geniouses...REPEATEDLY AND LOUDLY... took a lotta the shine off the Planet...just sayin... there was a time when a difference of opinion would be discussed....after all, we're all just guessing what MIGHT make a difference..

true a really good poo
does a body good

Yep. Then you throw trolls in the mix and you got what is now modern day CP.

Exactly...

Roses are dead
cause winter is here
A better idea
is titties and beer

The "both sides are equally guilty" thing is absurd. Of course both sides eventually engaged in the vitriol. I said that in my post.

Would you approve of a small, gradual demolition of DC with eventually political threads floating into the Lounge, thus eventually causing the majority of the users from DC,who do nothing aside discuss politics, leaving CP?

See, stuff like this. I think that was even something that DCS started. In 2009, a saying that stupid would have just been ignored. This year, with the change in posters since 2009 and the overall intelligence level, it caught on like wildfire. DCS somehow attracted all of the misfits.

Bingo

Yes
The sick pooh thread that's on the front page now


That's what is wrong with the planet. We have sick pooh threads.

There once was a poster named KC Native
Whose takes on politics seemed a little bit dated.
Someone called him a person of Hispanic heritage,
which made him quite meaner
now all does is make insults that aren't creative.

I'm curious to hear who you think were anywhere near as obnoxious as DCS on the other side of that debate.

How could you possibly already know that, noob? ;)

You can tell that you were here prior to DC. The reason it was created in the first place is that the two topics were littering the page. Quite a few posters that are in DC were regular posters in the lounge.

What you are suggesting won't make them leave. It'll make them more visibile.

What I want to know is, what do we have to do to bring back Midnight_Vulture?

You're giving DCS way too much credit. He was just the idiot lackey.

Good times........

Even if you only polled the old timers it would be a massive epic fail. Frankly I am shocked you would think otherwise. If you merged the BB's you would have even more trolls and vaginal flow and less football.

Look I know I have said a lot of things I am not proud of over the years, I think a lot of people who have posted here long term probably have as well whether they will admit it or not. Most of the grief I get was things I posted about a terrorist supporter when I had family serving and somebody who decided a football forum would be the best place to martyr themselves by disclosing a sex change and saying that he thought as tax payers we should all pay for that. This isn't about me though or any individual poster. Pestilence was right when he said I should not have used individual names. This was about the evolution of CP and where we are at and was designed to measure how much of you really like this direction considering where it will take us.

I think the blocking function needs to be fixed so the d bag you block can't see your post. That is fine you don't have to read their stupid comments anymore, but they can still stalk your every post.

There are almost no posters who would leave CP as a result of that. Most DC posters are also Chiefs/NFL fans and Lounge posters. I honestly can't think of many DC only posters.

Again, the "he started it" argument is childish. If you're wanting to get at the heart of why there's a lack of civility, it just doesn't cut it.

I haven't been around for nearly as long as most involved in this discussion, but really, I just don't understand the 'we must ban anyone whos a douche' mentality.

There is ONE poster here who I cannot stand, and I don't have him on ignore. I just literally ignore him. Btw, he's one of the so called 'old timers' who seem to be exempt from the call to ban asshats, and he's the king.

Not to mention, who the hell goes into DC? Its totally ****ed in there. If you stay out of there, and don't GAF what people who bother you say, then I don't understand how it affects you to a point where they should be banned to suit an individual or even group need.

If you (I'm using you in a general sense here) DO feel the need to go into DC and GAF about what negative crap people have to say, maybe you should take a step back and look at the situation, maybe it is you who needs to take a break, not them.

tldr; who cares what dumb ****s on the internet think or type?

It would also help if people didn't change their ****ing handle every 3 months.

I'm here to talk football, get information, as well as be entertained and entertaining whenever possible.

I don't wanna' have to play ****'n CLUE every time I log in. Nor will I.

Other than mod abuse (it happens to us all and it's usually pretty good) I don't understand the desire to reinvent yourself more than Madonna...

You are terrible at arm psychology and trying to insult me as well.

I love when all the butt hurt bleeds over to FaceBook. People are always crying on there about mod abuse, being banned or someone hurt their feelings.

I know of one that I would prefer stay there.

Present tense. Are they still here?

Let me go check my rep from back then.

First, I'm literally a semester away from being a psychologist. Second, I'm not insulting you, I'm trying to help.

Who the hell are you? :p

STFU n00b.......

Robert Paulson...

Is it too late to get your money back?:D

After time, I've come to know a lot of the posting styles of certain CPers. So I feel pretty good about knowing if a flame was an insult or not. There are so many things here that make me smil[LIST=1]

• GoChiefs - The repeated inferrence he's gay, or lives in his mom's basement, or his male modeling picture thing
• Omaha - Everyone is fat
• Frazod - Appliance Killer
• Hometeam - Took the Fisty McTatt Thread like a champ
• PR Capon'es Cat Ramp
• Midnight Vulture
• Answers - PM Bob Dole
• Sorter - insane collection of, apparently, meticulously filed Gifs
• Gif'd Up
• Rain Man' - Crazy assed topics make things interesting
• FAX - .....when he's around (Come back)
• Hawk - Is an Ass Man

So many things that make me smile with either a perfectly timed response, or Gif, or reference to an old thread etc.

Luckily, I can usually tell by the Thread Title and Thread starter, if it's something I'll read. There is definitely a lot of chaff to sort through these days.

But it's still the most fun insane asylum on the interwebz

Sacrifice a laptop?

Exactly

I think so but I'll ask anyways. In all fairness, they never offered me any classes in arm chair psychology. It was more along the lines of personality disorders and such.

Uh, I was agreeing with you.

I'm not trying to get to the heart of anything. I'm reporting on the world as it is.

What are you doing your dissertation on?

I don't care!! I just wanted to call ANYONE n00b!!!LMAO

It is kind of hard to tell that the Chiefs are 11-3 around here instead of 3-11.

/thread over

:LOL:

Has the OP turned this into a " I am leaving forever" thread yet?

Felt this way all season.....SMH....

ROFL and you're trying to diagnose me on a messageboard where you are completely wrong about me being angry.

My wife is a semester away from her masters in psychology. She would laugh at what you're trying to do.

Bingo.

I've disagreed with people who the newer folk would say are "on my side" repeatedly over the years.

Hamas and I butted heads regularly.

Mecca and I butted heads regularly.

I don't always agree with some of my best friends IRL on this board - Phobia, Flopnuts, Pestilence, Monty, TinyEvel.

Christ, DJ'sLeftNut and I have been going at it for a day and a half.

You know why it rarely if ever gets ugly?

Because when we discuss ball, we don't just throw shit out there all willy-nilly hoping it sticks. We back up our opinions with facts, stats and evidence.

I can respect someone's opinion when they can back it up.

I think it's hard for me and many other old-timers to respect opinions that are chock full of excuses and whose foundation is built on "I think" or "do you work in the NFL" or "PIOLI!"

Isn't the whole purpose of this thread people trying to figure out "what went wrong"?

It's probably best if you don't name him or her. That could hurt feelings.

Pretty Much OTWP.

I've had posts hit pretty hard in the past, but I would 'think' that none of it is personal. I'd sit down and have beers with probably 99% of CP.

...even GoChiefs. :D

That crossed the line...

I'd have a beer; he can have his Zima.

Man...is this sandy vagina week on ChiefsPlanet or something? I apparently didn't get the memo.

As for how things have changed, I don't personally think much about it. There's a natural human tendency to look back at the "good ol' days" fondly and remember all the good stuff, but ignore all the bad stuff. ChiefsPlanet isn't any different.

Nailed it my friend....

Back when DaFace was a mod...man, things were good back then.

I said this earlier, ****stick. :D

LMAO

You were one of the board's worst offenders during the "Gotta have Sanchez!" era.

Ha. And not really. I'm a pretty strong believer that mods don't (and shouldn't) have a huge impact on the overall culture of a forum.

Hey now, this is a sandy vag thread not one on our cognitive biases.

Now I miss Mecca :(

I suggested this, but I was told that I was wrong and that this place was basically all moonlight and canoes before 2009.

Okay here is the list from then:

Pioli Zombie troll from Patriots
kcbubb
SensibleChiefsFan LMAO
chiefsfan1963
Hootie started a lot of the shit

My neg rep I gave out from January 2009 to April 2009, was triple what I did from 2004 to January 2009.

LMAO
I'm stealing that one for future use, if you don't mind.

I started lurking on this board when I was stationed in Korea in 2000 and was in desperate need of Chiefs news to keep my sanity. I joined some time later but I am familiar with most of the old timers. We have seen many posters come and go over the years and in some cases because of petty differences. In some cases we have lost members to tragedy. Their ideas are immortalized and their memories are alive and well still in the CP mainframe.

I post infrequently; however, I definately enjoy good Chiefs comradarie. I for one, enjoy a good debate. I do not particularly care for the personal attacks that I see some make towards each other here on the board but so be it.

Long live CP!

You can't ignore the fact that it has turned into a less enjoyable place or act like some of what goes on here is OK. There is some crap that goes on here that shouldn't....and we look the other way because we don't want to actually make people act halfway decent in here.

I agree with something Rausch said in the other thread....people seemed more civil when you knew someone. You met them at the game, they became a face with a voice and you acted better when talking to them.

Now most of this place is just internet personas created by people, who contrary to what they declare, wouldn't be half the POS in person that they pretend to be on the board.

I don't care about feelings. I'm not naming "it" because if I do, "it" will show up here sure as shit.

First one to quote it gets the negs...

OMG U R SO MEAN!! I'M TELLING THE MODS!!
