ChiefsPlanet What is you favorite thing about ChiefsPlanet? What keeps you coming back? - Page 5

**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.

My next guess is Baby Lee because he seems to get really worked up when Dane goes after him.

CP is like a major auto accident....you shouldn't look, but you just can't help it.

The atmosphere and the attitude.

**Nzoner** · 02-16-2016, 10:32 AM

Having hosted numerous CP bashes/parties I've met some good friends and hopefully will meet more if the Vegas get together works out.

Other than that I figure I'm 12 years in why stop now.

I miss playing Texas Holdem in the casino lounge. Holy crap that was fun taking Smed1065 money. Those were the good Ol' days around here.

It's pretty much all habit at this point. There's very little worth a shit left here at this point. The worthwhile posters are mostly gone, discussion about football is as dead during the season as during the off-season. Although I guess I do enjoy the media center, so there is that. Otherwise, for me, the magic's long gone.

I'm here for the gang bang.

I've written my breakup letter to CP a time or two. It's not you, its' me...we're growing apart and both deserve to be happy. Not out of anger or baby fit, but honestly, It's part of our contractual obligation to the community. I've been close to hitting submit and delete a couple of times.

As recently as yesterday, I wondered why I still come here....and my answer might have been that its just a bad habit I've had for 16 years. Some days CP is like 3 cans of Mt Dew and an office job...its just part of your routine.

Then....There's the other part. I've been here 16 years. Can't believe I'm typing that...I've been with CP longer than I've known my wife. CP has been with me through 3 towns, 3 home remodels, a handful of girlfriends, death of friends and birth of children. It's basically a friend from HS that annoys you sometimes, but is always available when you need a beer and a talk. He knows your history, he's bled with you, laughed with you.

I've met a number of CP folks over the years and consider a handful real life friends. I've done business with Planet members, I've collaborated with others, a planet member designed the logo for my company when I was starting it....and yesterday, when I was wondering why I'm still wasting time here....Rico gave me some great information and helped me scout opponents for some of our local athletes for state. There is someone here who legitimately knows about any question you can ask.

Those are the things that make me take time off and then come back.

The Chiefs are a bad girlfriend who cheat on all of us, make us feel bad, make us feel good.....and this is the support group for all of us sorry sonnabitches who can't cut her loose....because she's going to treat us right this time...she promised at the draft.

Stay for the hilarity.
It takes a while to get CP. The first couple years of Lurking I was like WTF is this place?

Halfcan · 02-16-2016, 11:04 AM

I like that if something important is going on or if John Goodman dies again-it is on CP in a timely fashion.

Everyone I have met in person has been great. Joe has had some of the greatest Chiefs parties ever-always a fun time.
