Dear Friends, - Page 15

12-02-2005, 11:38 PM

I have a lot invested in ChiefsPlanet; time, emotion, sweat, money, but mostly just time.... Five years is quite a while and a very good run. I'm moving on to another opportunity, one I feel will enable us to more readily realize what had been my aspirations for ChiefsPlanet. I'll have media access, credibility, and the possibility of eventually doing this stuff fulltime.

Preferably, this is not "goodbye". I plan to see you at events, around town, Arrowhead, and on the other Chiefs site I'll be managing.

I've had a lot of mixed emotions coming to this decision. Literally, this has taken months. More than 6 months, actually. It's hard to leave a place you've helped to build from the ground up, but I've recently felt stagnant here - lots of frustration - I'm sure you've noticed. I invited AustinChief to come and bring the entire board along but he didn't really seem very interested. Don't take take that last statement as bashing Kyle. We're friends. We've always been friends. We're just not very effective partners, apparently. Therefore, I'm moving on to a site that will become THE place for Chiefs news heading forward.

I'll try to answer questions about it in this thread, but I really don't know how long Kyle will indulge me. As soon as I submit this thread, I'm terminating my admin access.

Oddly enough, I'm not going to spam ChiefsPlanet to pimp the new digs. You'll find us. The Internet is a small place.

With Warmest of Regards,

Phil "Phobia"

Agreeden. I mean...Nick Athan??? scout.com?? Jeebus--I'm still kicking my own ass for paying for a year's subscription to that shitrag. To be blunt, a reeruned 6-year old could've published a better magazine. Yeah, I think I'll stay with the winning hand, too...

one last time:

I blame Nick Athan.

shakesthecat · 12-03-2005, 06:39 AM

WOW

Phil, good luck and thanks for everything you've done here!

Gaz · 12-03-2005, 07:03 AM

Best of luck, Phil.

Well, to his credit, I can't think of anything Athan has botched this year.

In fact I remember Phobia saying he had lunch with him or something, and told him that he had a credibility problem because his stories fall through and that he didn't write an article that sounded professional.

I can't help but chuckle though, at what an unholy alliance this would have seemed some time ago.

Oops, looks like Phob is banned now. Maybe he banned himself.

**Skip Towne** · 12-03-2005, 07:25 AM

WTF is going on here?

Braincase · 12-03-2005, 07:29 AM

Thanks and Good Luck, Phil.

If I can be of any assistance in either your new venture, or if Kyle would like some assistance tar and feathering various trolls, let me know. I can heat the tar up to a proper temperature.

Mile High Mania · 12-03-2005, 07:42 AM

Very interesting... I knew he was wanting to make CP more than a forums, guess there was a breaking point. That other place is a bit rough looking.

Best of luck to you, Phil. The rest of you guys shouldn't fear too much, there's a reason you love being here, right? I don't think you log in to read Phobia's comments, so while it will be odd and some will leave, you have to roll with the punches.

Bob Dole did it. It should save some bandwidth.

Good Luck and Best wishes phobia,hope everything works out with the new site.Thanks for all you've done to make this the best site on the net.

Take care,BCH

**cdcox** · 12-03-2005, 08:03 AM

Wow.

Good luck, on your new endeavor, Phil. The FOX people seem to be making a strong move in internet Sports coverage.

carlos3652 · 12-03-2005, 08:18 AM

Good Luck Phil, there are really not a whole lot I can say to this news other than congrats...

Thanks for the good times... Hopefully you can make that place a better one. - Hopefully you can keep posting here too...

- I think there would be a bigger fallot if Phil went somewhere else other than WPI. With all the WPI Hate (credibility issue) on this board it would be hard to see everyone split off...

teedubya · 12-03-2005, 08:37 AM

Right on. Good to see you doing something that will make you happy. I feel you will miss us CP idiots, and I suspect that you will have an alternate name or two to continue posting.

Its obvious that you had the vision to help CP become a full media outlet, seems that Kyle just goes under the radar and doesnt contribute to the potentiality.

We coulda been a contenda... coulda been somebody.
