Chiefs Planet history lesson

[TLO]

How did ChiefsPlanet start? Did the original posters defect from another Chiefs board?

Why is BigRedChief in charge of the Hall of Classics?

Who is badgirl? Why is mowing her lawn such a bad thing?

Where did "Q" come from? How was it stared?

AIDS Tree and Antifreeze? What's up with that?

[Why Not?]

I got nothing for the first 3.

4. I recall reading when someone would repost something, everyone else would spell repost one letter per post and someone put in a Q and everyone thought it was funny and it just kinda stuck. I'm sure there's a better way to explain this

5. No clue but "die in an AIDS fire" seems so fitting for so many things around here. Antifreeze painfully kills things that ingest it, so that makes sense.

It's always worth reposting this whenever the "origins of CP" topic comes up:

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.

People defected from the KC Star board because it was a piece of trash forum. They figured they could do better.

No threads has been admitted into the HOC in a couple of years. There were threads that don't deserve to be there, that are in there. We originally had polls and nominations for deserving threads. Now, its more obvious what is worthy and what is not.

There was little to no traffic at pigskin park.

Interesting. Thanks!

While I'm relatively new, posting on ChiefsPlanet has been something I've read for nearly the past two decades. With that said, I'd love to provide some input.

ChiefsPlanet was initially formed after two college students wanted a place to talk Chiefs football on the new hip and hoppin' internet. It was December of 1998, and UMKC law school students Marty Leonard and Chance Ramone were looking at their options over winter break. Although CP debuted with only a few students from their law classes, it eventually stemmed out and before the end of the year, an oil businessman by the name of Dwayne Fleming took notice and decided to get involved financially. Mr. Fleming, or "confused" as he is often referred to as, can still be found posting every once in awhile.

2. BigRedChief is one of the original founders, Marty Leonard. He is in charge of the Hall of Classics because it dates back to the late 90's. He started the tradition, and has since continued it.

3. badgirl is simply an ex girlfriend of Marty (BRC). The jokes that are often told at her expense are often done out of anger and jealousy.

4. It stands for Quincy Jones, famous African American music producer.

5. There is no such thing as an AIDS tree. AIDS is a terminal disease that is caused by having buttsex with monkeys. Antifreeze is a type of spray that is used in vehicles. I don't understand your question as it seems to be irrelevant to the history of Chiefs Planet.

Hope I helped!

As for the rest:

How did ChiefsPlanet start? Did the original posters defect from another Chiefs board?
See the quoted part above. In short, mods at the KC Star board started sucking. Mass exodus ensued.

Why is BigRedChief in charge of the Hall of Classics?
Honestly, I have no idea. He seems to like doing big polls like that, so eventually he just took over it I think.

Who is badgirl? Why is mowing her lawn such a bad thing?
Dunno.

Where did "Q" come from? How was it stared?
First there was "repost." Then there was R-E-P-O-S-T in successive posts. Then people started throwing random letters in to try and prevent R-E-P-O-S-T being completed in succession - commonly with throwing a "Q" in the middle of it. Then it just became Q.

AIDS Tree and Antifreeze? What's up with that?
Both of them would be unpleasant ways to die, don't you think?
