I would like this place to be better, but I know that Kyle has a life and certainly don't expect him to sacrifice it more than he has spare time for while maintain his own enjoyment of life.

Phil if you are reading this don't take it wrong, I know that you would make a great owner and that you had nothing to do with the creation of this thread.

Rob, I am sure you meant well, but maybe next time you stick to politely asking Kyle about how the improvement efforts are coming.

Thanks again Kyle for this place.



EDIT: I see this thread has been thoroughly hijacked, still the thread header is insulting to Kyle and with the volume of traffic you would believe that a ton of people endorse the idea Kyle should give up his ownership.
I am grateful for what Kyle has done in helping to create this place. However, just because he started the place doesn't mean that it's his to do with what he pleases. I understand that he is busy, and I understand that he has put a ton of effort and money into this place. However, if he can't put the effort into making ChiefsPlanet a better place, he should be willing to allow others to do so.

Consider this illustration. Imagine that ChiefsPlanet were some sort of charitable organization - an organization to benefit homeless kids or something - and that Kyle was the founder. After starting the organization, tons of people were excited about it and wanted to make the organization a success. After a while, though, Kyle had other life issues come up and could no longer keep the organization running. Is it OK for him to simply let it die, or should he be responsible for appointing a new leader to keep it going? We're all a bunch of homeless kids, and I tend to believe the latter.

Sorry for such a horrible illustration. I realize that it's not the same situation, but the underlying idea is the same. I guess to sum it up, I mean no disrespect to Kyle whatsoever, but CP would be a better place if he'd turn over the reins.
