Life The Evolution of the Planet - Page 7

I think to understand the nature of the problem that exists here today it is important to reflect on how we arrived here. For those that don’t know, ChiefsPlanet was created to get around the vast restrictions placed on posters in KC Star. It was a huge success right off the bat and we were rolling. IMO those first months we ended up with a lot of really great posters and only a couple bad ones. As time went on CP has attracted more and more people who love not having restrictions and unlimited subjects to discuss which was great other than the fact that that many thought those threads were polluting the forum with people arguing all the time over subjects that didn’t even involve football. I posted a poll asking the membership if they wanted another forum for off topics and it passed by a landslide and the people who run this BB were gracious enough to create it and DC was born.

That has worked for a long time now with this almost no holds barred format. Once again this type of forum has been attractive to people who love the open debate that can take place here but unfortunately over many years it has attracted more and more trolls who like using the structure here to do nothing more than try to get under posters skin and will do anything in order to do that. It’s also allowed posters like frazod to thrive here being the poster child of bad psychology. Talk about no boundaries with a strong desire to bust in others and dump. This has attracted more in the like, can anyone say KCN? The trolls have grown as well in this forum in a kind of perfect storm way. What we have today is a forum saturated with trolls and posters with the psychology of a 13 year old psychopathic girl on her first period. IMO this is costing us many potential good posters who would make this a better place to come to and has also seen us lose many quality long term posters. To complicate matters the moderators that reside here are fine with posters posting anything they want about you and your family members short of a racist remark heaven forbid just as long as you don’t do it to them which is now creating two different cultures that exist within the planet. If they think that it is hostile now they haven’t seen anything yet should this persist.

IMO at this point nothing short of a cleansing designed to rid the planet of trolls and bloody vaginas that have no control is exactly what this place needs to regain its former greatness. There was a time when I posted a thread about a family member and their battle with cancer and asked for prayers and support. Today there is no chance of me doing something like that here as I have no desire to see somebody post the nastiest thing they can think of at that point. For the old timers it should be easy to see the huge difference in where we were and where we are now. My 2 cents.

Good Lord!

This place hasn't changed a bit since the beginning. Just a bigger crowd, with more of every type of poster.

Personally, I'm looking forward to it. It'll be like escaping the matrix.

As fas as KCNative goes, i feel like he's a monster that CP created.

I don't remember his early posts being particularly vile and tbh, he never really stood out. He seems to get worse and worse by the week which says to me that it's a role he's grown to love.

I stay the **** out of DC, but there's been a gradual change in this place in the last 4-5 years.

When I started here, it was pretty evenly split between solid football discussion and pop culture/bullshit. A discussion could get heated, you'd call each other some names, and then laugh about it over a beer at the next CP function.

There's a small group of old-timers that still do it, but we're a dying breed.

I love this place. It's fun.

Is this more of you trying to insult me? You should try harder or just stop.

Amen!

Leave if it's so ****ing bad and full of shitty people. No one will miss you or your stupid soccer threads.

I am not complaining about how bad it is. You seem to be reading my posts incorrectly.

Attention craved at home, me thinks.

Needs to get a woman or rub one off.

The quality of the football discussion has gone downhill dramatically. Sorry, but it has.

so we just fling at the boobs.

Poetry is also something missing from this generation of CP.

I remember reading some pretty creative stuff back in the day.

As a n00b, I wanted to be part of these kick-ass discussions and learn more about the game - so it motivated me to do my homework before just randomly throwing out some bullshit.

You certainly don't see that anymore.

Yes, if you showed up here with your guns blazing, you were going to be called on it. But the vast majority slip in pretty quietly and without incident. It's not like we see someone with a single digit post count and immediately start piling on like Zach is implying. That doesn't happen.
