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.

Yes, I understand all of that. I did the same thing.

Errrr, well I did actually post in the talkback forum and on the Star BB. I do remember some of the folks here on the Star BB. Well, not so much anymore but I remembered/knew them when we all came over here.

Oh my gawd, this was almost as entertaining a flashback as was my high school reunion. Most of this is spot on. Some could be debateable but why bother. The myth is an entertaining read.

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.

...

I do think memories have eroded so I tried to couch some doubt into my story. One so as to not offend people and two to avoid the contentious issues of past that have been argued ad nauseum.

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.

I do remember the grbacker and grbasher debates being more intense and emotional than ANY political threads on the board. They made the Lib and Con threads of today look downright sweet.

Troy could you put a note with that pic. I am always expecting to see something new but it is always the same old pic that I see after clicking on it. You need some fresh pics.

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.

Soon afterward, your daughters husband finally agreed to let her go down and unlock their "senile old fart father" from his chains in the basement.

I enjoyed denise's entertaining myth about what happened. Political topics were banned not because of personal attacks. It began with Luz's 'Being a democrat means...' thread that was nothing more than a 'George Carlin' chain email conservative rant.

Then all hell broke loose. I dont expect denise to remember it the proper way...her delusions are more fun, Im sure.

If personal attacks were the actual case, denise would have been one of the first to go.

History was trying to repeat itself here.

Not really...even after the move here, over the years, the 'separate' political forum issue had come up to a vote on several occasions before 2004 and was defeated. At one time I was an opponent of the separate forum, but changed my mind after one poster started recruiting mantra monkeys from DU to come in and spam the board.

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.

This could all be fixed by a Super Bowl run by the Chiefs.
