ChiefsPlanet What is you favorite thing about ChiefsPlanet? What keeps you coming back? - Page 3

**TimBone** · 02-15-2016, 11:35 PM

While I'm waiting for the wildcard polls to close in the Hottest Celebrity Contest, I figured I'd take the time to pose a question to you guys.

I began lurking CP around 2011, I believe. Since then, I've come to love the place. It's certainly the website I visit the most often. So, I've asked myself, why is that? What is it about this place that draws me in so much?

I think one of the major reasons is that the board has helped me cope with being a fan of what, at times, seems to be a cursed franchise. The playoff loss in 2013 was rough on me. I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I'm one of those guys that tied a bit of my self worth to the Chiefs. I used to get so wrapped up in being a fan, that when they were being embarrassed, I was certain that people were looking down on me for being a fan. When they lost that playoff game in 2013, I couldn't talk to anybody outside of this website about it for months. However, that night on CP, other posters, who were sharing the same misery as me, were laughing and making jokes about the game. I found myself laughing at the posts, and it helped to get over it. Through you guys, I've gotten a lot better about letting things like that playoff loss go, and not getting so wound up about the Chiefs.

That's one of the many reasons I love CP, but it's not the main reason. I think the main reason I love this place is the personalities. CP has not shortage of them, and the way they interact with each other is extremely entertaining. Whether it's a Baby Lee/Dane McCloud feud over copyright law, or a cosmo/srvy feud about the mating habits of Africanized honey bees, they're all a spectacle. I find myself having to check every thread, regardless of topic, just to see what it has become.

So, what is it for you? Why do you keep coming back to this awful place? It certainly can't be the Chiefs.

Stayed for the people. Every single one of the people I've met in this site has been top notch. I mean top ****ing notch. That includes Dave Lane (I'm as conservative as a mother****er will ever be), the resident get off my lawn cranky guy, Bugeater, and Reerun who everybody loves to hate. Sure trolls suck but there are some damn fine folk here.

It's pretty remarkable, really. In any given day, of the people I interact with each day, I'd say probably 80-90% I couldn't care less about and that guarantees some time with my wife and daughter and usually at least my dad. Logon and it's probably the inverse. I'm pretty good at skimming through the BS and there is always a take I care about or somebody doing something I can learn from. I wish there were an ignore function and the capacity to choose with whom I interact with in real life.

Other boards aren't this way either. I am on ag talk. It's a clunky ass ag BB but there are some sharp pencils in there. Anyway I post a thread about a risk mitigation technique I'm trying to employ thinking someone else had done the same thing. Those dumb mother****ers proceeded to bash me and call me names for even trying to take measures to protect some assets. God forbid we try to run out farm like a business. Pretty soon a couple guys actually contribute to the discussion and it calms down some but I put out a perfectly reasonable situations and morons that don't know anything about ****ing anything call me a dumbass.

Compare that with here. I reached out to a couple guys that I know do business and ran it by them. While they didn't know about production ag they shared their experiences in their businesses no questions asked.

It's the good people here that make it what it is. **** trolls. This is our community.

Aren't you the one who plowed another planeteers field and harvested his hay while he was laid out in a hospital bed? That was ****ing badass

With the way that sentence started, I thought it was going somewhere completely different.

I don't have a foot long

Actually after reading it to myself I added in the "and harvested his hay" part specifically due to that concern lol.

How does one describe one man plowing another man's field appropriately

I couldn't care less if someone disagrees with my takes, as long there's respect. Sometimes, that respect is earned, other times, it's lost and sometimes, it takes years to gain.

But once you've got it, it pretty rare that you actually lose it.

As for the name-calling dipshits that resort to uncreative and unoriginal posts because they're butthurt, stupid and worthless?

Yeah, **** those guys on a Sybian machine with the jackhammer attachment and put it on Brazzer's for everyone to see.

Because nowhere else in the world can a 19 year old college student tell a 45 year old man to go die in a fire-burning AIDS tree with no repercussions.

Also shoutout to the Royals guys, miss you all. <3

Wrong. The relaxed-moderation is what makes this place special.
Go to any other forum and say the shit that is said on here and you're getting banned by some fat, power-hungry moderator.
