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.

I remember some "good times" on the talkback forum--that was my first experience with internet boards. I don't remember much of what was discussed/said, but I do think I remember your user name on there (sadly, I can't remember mine--I know it showed my e-mail address or something, but I can't rememebr what else)...
I then migrated to the star board under the name "The Bird" (used the same one on the Denver Post and InsideDenver--the two of which eventually led to the Orangemange), I think that was before talkback shut down...
It's quite rediculous how long ago that was...
