I guess I missed everything cause I came in here on the 9-0 bandwaggon in 2003. You didn't even mention that wave of N00bs.

What did that old Greek say, "You can never post on the same message board twice"???

Just don't bring up politics, and they may be happy to see you too.

Once upon a time in the mid 90s many, many of us like the Senator, Logical, Titus and even ole mean DEnise all posted together in an incarnation of the Star BB that was formatted much like todays Planet. We were a hardy group who harbored much anger and venom and we would fight the nights through. As time wore on our numbers grew and a bond did seemingly develop.

Then lo one night the evil witch Becky suddenly set to banning people for political speech in her forum. Many a poster thought it was at the bequest of the Evil DEnise but she doth deny it but defend Becky mightily did she. Soon the regulars were being banned right and left and lo came a savior nigh onto us with an initial parry to Russ (KCWolfman) and a few other. Lo the Planet was born and things were good and a mass exodus did ensue in 2000 August the year AD.

Now the story is told that the wicked DEnise claimed she would never post here, though I have never been able to document its truth, this is a widely held rumor of truth. For many months DEnise only made a token appearance and went back to the Star to lay claim to her now lonely throne, where only the n00Bs and trolls did now roam. All went well until behold technical problems with server volume did raise an ugly head.

Thence Pigskin Park/Pen was doth conceived and rivaled this board for usage and steam. Now the Star BB did shut itself down and an influx of poster at both the Planet and Park did begin and grow and grow did each board rise.

Now it is told that the Park had and Planet had many dual members but for its technical problems was the Planet Noted.

Meanwhile at the Park their arose a clamor by Gaz and DEnise of separation of political matter. As both were mods the owner did listen and split said board into two forums (sound familiar). Well lo and behold traffic in the sports forum began to dwindle while posting was soaring at the Pen we did quibble.

Well DEnise, and Jamie and Thomas and Logical too fought to the degree it killed the Pen too. Away, away, away went all back to the Planet with a better server to boot.

Together we did post in vastness and health while the BB did grow exponentially as well. Then one foggy fall day to what to our wonder cries did appear but that mean ole gal DEnise did appear. Came struggles and bitterness but a community was still built and it seemed nothing could ever be better than the Planet. Then came the evil, evil elections and what even the mean DEnise could not accomplish those elections did and the fabric of the Planet was ripped like a quilt.

A cry came anew from you will never guess who, sayeth Gaz we need to have a separate forum. Now much crying and screaming did ensue, we will ruin the Planet like was done to the Park.

Many votes were held and still no change when suddenly there came a poll with a story like thunder. Big Daddy switched sides and said yeah we need the separation and finally it happened the separation passeth.

Time wore on and survived we did, yet this was not enough to quiet the masses. Take that DC from sight they said and gone wad the DC link forthwith.

Now you have arrived at the time of today and we look forward each day to a new server. Because through it all we have endure the technical problems because in the end we have been a community and that has held us together.


I know this was not great literature but I have told this story so many times I had to do it different just to amuse myself.

Passion is what will hold this place together, be it for football, politics, or whatever.

I don't think Big Daddy detests her. I think he just wants her to admit publicly that she can't get enough of that Iranian sausage.

I'm not going to be in a very festive mood for a while...a really sad way to spend the your time a couple of days before your 50th birthday.

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.

Yeah, it was his carelessness that led to this.

I kinda miss old Hawaiianboy. That fellow could talk some smack, for a no good stinking raiderfan.

I'll tell you what, on 9/11, the Planet is where I came to commiserate with my 'online friends'. Likewise the day DT had his wreck. I haven't even seen a lot of youse guys, but I feel like I know a lot about some of yez. This place has been pretty special over the years. In spite of all the poopheads I've got on 'ignore'.

I wonder if I can find the old Lee Jackson posts to remember why I was so annoyed.

My first posts were also somewhat trollish.. ::

Amazingly she has not killed this BB but I think she may have driven off Htismaqe, who tired of all the shit people were throwing his way.

By the way Jamie, DEnise and I are back to fighting, it really never changes just subsides temporarily.

[Mr Luzcious]

Strange.

I dont get to post as much today, but I was there too!

Yes, Jim nailed this one pretty well. Denise, Me me, every daggum name she ever invented did just this. She was so high and mighty at the STAR. She fell on her head, them heels came crashing down and we all left the STAR BB for here. I had switched jobs for awhile and wasn't able to post right away. Many of us left the old Rivals board as well when it folded, but man, it was a fun ride for awhile.
