I'm still around, I just feel less motivated to post.

I don't know if it's because my business is going so well and I have less time, or if the subjects aren't as 'rich' :rolleyes:

I will always be around though.

Manila Chief posted over there too.

It was kinda odd in a way, the Planet started because the Star BB was censored to the extreme, while the Talkback Forum never was censored. I guess they were too busy with you guys to bother with us. That's where I learned the smack talk. The group that posted there consisted of adults that wouldn't hold anything back.

After the Talkback was finally deleted from the server, I drifted to the newer Star BB for a while. Another oddity about the censorship is that while the first wave came here because of the censorship, I ended up coming here because they WOULDN'T censor the KCStar site. A certain group, that I will leave nameless, were being quite abusive and vulgar. One of them (the ringleader) kept talking about how horrible the Chiefsplanet website was. Since I didn't think much of his opinions, I figured that if he didn't like the planet, it might be alright so I checked this place out. I had a hard time keeping up at first, but I've been here ever since.

The trolls were so bad--because the admins would rarely ban anyone--that that's when we developed the 'recipie' defense in the troll threads.

I'll never forget the time Gaz tried to discuss football with an idiot troll...that was hilarious to watch the futility of it all.

This place has never seen any trolls like that Star BB.

The talkback forum and what we're referring to as the 'Star BB' were two different things. The 'StarBB' was actually a BB on kansascity.com -- it had mutiple forums--even special forums for religion and politics, but the ONLY one that got any kind of traffic was the one for the Chiefs.

I think the reason why many refer to it as the star bb is that's how most got to the BB--next to the talkback link was a link to the BB...that's how I found it after reading the talkback forum one day and never went back to the talkback forum. I never posted in talkback.

What a storied history some of us have together. And to think some of us have made and stayed friends out of it is really something else. What is astonishing to me is out of all that I still have only five people on ignore.

I do think that an important element is missing...

the censorship of the political posts on the KCBB was born of personal attacks and NOT of political discourse. They had a paid moderator who was doing trying to do her job. But, the RWers were soooo angry back then. A nation at peace with a good economy, cheap gas, and the POTUS lying about his sex life. Troubled times, indeed. ROFL

Strolling down memory lane remember the silliness to get the 100th post then the ultra craziness to get the 1000 post in the old Star BB days.

We also had a big post your pictures thread as I recall.

Well, until lately anyhow. KC Johnny was on there and he didn't have many friends but I was one, what with me being a n00b and all. I wanted friends back then.

It must be a little sad to see a community that started with one particular, close-knit group change. I imagine that a lot of you are missing the Hitler-looking guy in particular.

Still, change can be positive, too. There are some worthy N00bs (sp?) on the board, I think. It's just that N00bs (sp?) don't share your experiences. So you have to make new memories. No one can reproduce the great fart threads of the past. We just have to make the most of the fart threads of the present.

We were a hardy group who harbored much anger and venom and we would fight the nights through. As time wore on our numbers grew and a bond did seemingly develop.

Then lo one night the evil witch Becky suddenly set to banning people for political speech in her forum. Many a poster thought it was at the bequest of the Evil DEnise but she doth deny it but defend Becky mightily did she. Soon the regulars were being banned right and left and lo came a savior nigh onto us with an initial parry to Russ (KCWolfman) and a few other. Lo the Planet was born and things were good and a mass exodus did ensue in 2000 August the year AD.

Now the story is told that the wicked DEnise claimed she would never post here, though I have never been able to document its truth, this is a widely held rumor of truth. For many months DEnise only made a token appearance and went back to the Star to lay claim to her now lonely throne, where only the n00Bs and trolls did now roam. All went well until behold technical problems with server volume did raise an ugly head.

Thence Pigskin Park/Pen was doth conceived and rivaled this board for usage and steam. Now the Star BB did shut itself down and an influx of poster at both the Planet and Park did begin and grow and grow did each board rise.

Now it is told that the Park had and Planet had many dual members but for its technical problems was the Planet Noted.

Meanwhile at the Park their arose a clamor by Gaz and DEnise of separation of political matter. As both were mods the owner did listen and split said board into two forums (sound familiar). Well lo and behold traffic in the sports forum began to dwindle while posting was soaring at the Pen we did quibble.

Well DEnise, and Jamie and Thomas and Logical too fought to the degree it killed the Pen too. Away, away, away went all back to the Planet with a better server to boot.

Together we did post in vastness and health while the BB did grow exponentially as well. Then one foggy fall day to what to our wonder cries did appear but that mean ole gal DEnise did appear. Came struggles and bitterness but a community was still built and it seemed nothing could ever be better than the Planet. Then came the evil, evil elections and what even the mean DEnise could not accomplish those elections did and the fabric of the Planet was ripped like a quilt.

A cry came anew from you will never guess who, sayeth Gaz we need to have a separate forum. Now much crying and screaming did ensue, we will ruin the Planet like was done to the Park.

Many votes were held and still no change when suddenly there came a poll with a story like thunder. Big Daddy switched sides and said yeah we need the separation and finally it happened the separation passeth.

Time wore on and survived we did, yet this was not enough to quiet the masses. Take that DC from sight they said and gone wad the DC link forthwith.

Now you have arrived at the time of today and we look forward each day to a new server. Because through it all we have endure the technical problems because in the end we have been a community and that has held us together.


I know this was not great literature but I have told this story so many times I had to do it different just to amuse myself.

I'll tell you what, on 9/11, the Planet is where I came to commiserate with my 'online friends'. Likewise the day DT had his wreck. I haven't even seen a lot of youse guys, but I feel like I know a lot about some of yez. This place has been pretty special over the years. In spite of all the poopheads I've got on 'ignore'.
