What's the deal with Phobia?
 

Ok, I know this has been mentioned a few times, but I've only caught bits and pieces. My understanding is that he's helping Athan get a pay forum up and going. Is that correct? Is he still owner of this site? I read somewhere that the "Phobia loyalists" might follow him over there. What is that all about? Is Phil done with CP? And if so, who's running the show?

Phobia left, and Chaos reigns!

Or AustinChief, with the help of guys and gals like Parker, Bob Dole, Jaz Lover.

If that ain't chaos, I sure as hell don't know what is!

he's done with CP from what he said

it's all kyle now


i think he's employed at WPI ... not part owner like he was here.


i guess phil wanted to expand/improve CP and kyle wasn't interested



just from what i could tell

Bob Dole is the new King Shit of **** Mountain and goatees and Van Dykes are now a bannable offense. Premium Memberships may be purchased with pie.

That's all you need to know.

Phobia went to Warpaint in order to get a Press Pass, but he still posts over here.

Warpaint Illustrated is part of a larger network of pro and college fan magazines and sites. Athan lured Phil over to their existing site to try and build it into a respectable site/BB. Only a portion of it is a pay site.

Phil is no longer affiliated with Chiefsplanet, other than an occasional post.

I don't think many loyalists will follow him there because the site and message board suck.

It would be pretty ****ing cool to have a press pass.

I don't believe that he is helping Athan as much as has been said here, more of a helping himself. Which is in no way bad, but there are things I think he wants to be able to do, and didn't feel like it was ever going to happen here.

Make no mistake about it...

I AM RUNNING THE SHOW.

If so take the frigging extra g out of my user name boss.:cuss:

I agree. It was a business decision.

This site is treading water at best, and on the verge of sinking.

Warpaint may provide the resources to build something much better. And it probably pays better.

I don't have any responsibility to ChiefsPlanet any longer. I operate the boards at Warpaint. Nick operates the magazine. I don't work for Nick. One might call it a partnership.

Warpaint is NOT a pay site. There is an optional premium board that is paid. Most of our information is posted in our Arrowhead Club forum, though. Plus there are writers on staff who give exclusive content. It's growing and getting better.

How about handlebar mustaches?

Spam!

It's like Candyman. Invoke his name three times and he appears. Creepy.

Sorry I missed you Sunday. Was there a decent crowd?

God help us. You or Dole? That's like a choice between Gun and GRob for Head Coach. ;)

Past tense?

Phil decided he wanted to be more than a BB junkie.

I admire him...I wish I could parlay the hours that I waste analyzing football on this board into an actual job...

As for this site, it is most certainly NOT treading water. It's alive and well.

I didn't notice any resident ****heads over there.

I work cheap...

I hung around on the hill until 9:00 Sunday and nobody showed so I drove down and hung out with some other friends in A, B, and C.

Athan is Robin Hood, Phob is Friar Tuck.

So you have 3 posters now?

Taken care of.

Phob is Batman, Athan is Robin.

(Cue Taco's Batman/Phob photoshop)

We have at least that many.

I should have let you know earlier that I wasn't coming. It was a bit of a last minute decision. I hope you didn't spend that time waiting for me.

They have some Hardcore Fans over there.

Nah - fat fingers.

He's a big pussy and refused to meet me when he came out to Arizona.

As evidenced by the problems today...

I think relatively speaking, it is treading water. Maybe I'll see changes in the future to change my mind.

Nah - I spoke to you early so it wasn't a big issue. I was more worried about OTC because he was supposed to swing by.

That wasn't nice.

Quick edit though, dude. ;)

I had about 50-60 people stop by or stay and tailgate at the one I had down by the tee-pee- gang. Including these dudes below. BTW jspchief, Chieffolife sent some jaggermister to the tailgate as a peace offering for dissing a previous tailgate. It was much appreciated by the tailgaters. :)

I don't blame him. Anyone who can drink Brian under the table is to be feared....

I'm growing a little annoyed at the disrespect Phobia has been getting since the transition.

I've been visting WPI more and more with each passing week for news that I haven't seen here on CP.

Phob - Are you going to clean up the look of the forum a bit? I was hanging out there a bit today when I couldn't get on here and was having a hell of a time looking at it, actually kind of hurt my eyes.

Maybe I just need to look at it more, but it was a bit brutal.

But do you accept payment in pie? Hmmmm???

Nope. Bob Dole didn't think so.

I think you should post an "I'm leaving" thread.

PH3AR MI!1!

I visit WPI for Chiefs news and the Planet for poop threads.

Ah. gochiefs/Phobia = Luke/Platypus.

This place still has the market cornered on dumbassery.

Plus, I bring exclusive, high-quality content to Chiefsplanet Premium Members. :D

Athan is Heath Ledger, Phob is Jake Gyllenhall. Together, they are Brokeback Mountain.

Those are allowed.

:cuss:

Platypus? What?

You know, the unpleasant Emperor guy.

Hell, Parker says you made chiefs4me a premium member in exchange for "pie" at the Texans game...

Thanks for the verp.

Phobia's goal is to get a job with the Chiefs. It won't happen, but that is his goal. His 5 minutes of fame so to speak.

The other board has few members and might grow some, but this board will survive.

The issues you all seem to be having with the server must be your systems interface. I've been on all day with no delays or hangups.

You don't know the power of the darkside. I must obey my master.

I meant, Mer drinks under your table. Sorry.

what the **** are you doing down there then?

ROFL It would require 12 hours of intensive surgery to have you removed from Phobia's buttocks. You'll be a permanent fixture at WI and a distant memory here soon enough.

I don't know what is going on over at WPI but I haven't been able to get on the forums all day.

Your 25k+ posts and half a dozen IDs have gone a long way to cement that notion...

VERP
Variable Envelope Return Path

:spock:

:hmmm:

Yeah, I puked and passed out.


But I did it once, not three times...



Guess that makes you the speed-drinker and me the cross-country drinker...

You're greatly mistaken.

You not kidding, why disrespect a guy who is trying to better himself?

Their server sucks and nobody will do anything to fix it.

When it comes back up, you should probably post a thread about it.

Thankyou.

Tom....get over it all ready, dude.

And this board has been on the fritz much of the day...

I just wish I didn't have to drug you. The Roofies are getting expensive.

First the keep Turner bandwagon and now this. You are on a roll today.

Jim Carey has nothing on you. Funny chit man ROFL

Only because Bob Dole keeps getting disrespected and taking it out on all of you.

Because he has a giant, misshapen noggin?

Bob Dole doesn't need much of a reason.

That's way too much talking.

On the verge of sinking? It's better than just about every other sports site that I have visited. I guess I don't understand.

I'm not talking about participation. I'm talking about the server problems that have been ignored for at least 2 years.

Eh, as I've said before, this place isn't perfect and I think people have legitimate complaints, but Taco John is a very active owner and his place still crashes every time they choke away a game. That's not meant as a shot but more of an indication of how it's not easy to run an independent site. I don't blame Phob for going to a bigger more stable network, but at the same time, Athan just sees us all as a bunch of dollar signs.

ROFL

Oh, of course not.

"Who, me?"

Verp --> Vurp --> Burp with vomit.

No question. Athan is a scumbag and a hack IMO, and I have no desire to ever support anything he has an interest in.

But that won't keep me from pointing out the problems this place has. I'd be more willing to give Austinchief a pass if there hadn't been numerous comments about his unwillingness to address the problems. Somehow I doubt Taco is the absentee admin that we have here.

You're ignorant.

What server problems?

Laz has brainwashed you. There aren't any server problems.

Really? I've been reading his 3rd grade level articles for years, and I've seen his numerous bullshit "scoops" in an attempt to generate interest. As a journalist, he's a hack. And the lies he publishes as breaking Chiefs news makes him a scumbag. He either has no professional integrity, or he's a fool. Either way I have no desire to support his efforts in any way.

He may be trying to clean up his act, but for now he's nothing more to me than what he has presented himself as over the past few years.

Yep that is how I feel as well. Phil is posting some good info but I don't trust Athan at all. So far he has been wrong about everything....again.
