Dear Friends,

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"

Come to think of it, I can't think of one bad thing Phil has ever personally said about Athan. Must have been everyone else. My bad.

Nah - I've ridden Nick's articles pretty hard at times. I shoot him straight. We've talked about improving his credibility. He's taken steps. Everything he has told me since the season started happened. He scooped the Holmes IR thing by 4 days, but he wouldn't publish it without more solid info.

It should be an interesting relationship. Nick deserves the criticism sometimes. But he deserves some props, too. He's trying really hard on this project. Hopefully we'll be able to make it big now that Fox Sports is involved.

They must have discrimnating taste; I registered quickly and easily, with no problems.

Phobia, to me, is/was the undisputed "face" of this place. I would imagine and hope that some sort of message from AustinChief is forthcoming, if for no other reason than to make the decisions of the members whether to follow Phobia out of here en masse a little more difficult. And it looks like there are a lot of decisions to be made soon, although I guess there's no law against posting on both sites.

Good luck and much congrats, Phil, however I've got a feeling most of the folks here are going to end up in the same place.

OK, screw all that, where are my t-shirts and hats, azzhole?

No law at all. But I won't be bi-bordial. I've tried that, it didn't work. I'll be one place or the other.

I just checked out the 37 Forever site for the first time ever. I was born in 77 so I don't remember Delaney. Thanks for that site Phil, it touched my heart.

...But Phob; you are so close to the coveted 50,000 post mark.

I didn't try and register, I just wanted to view the board format. But I didn't even get a "not a registered member" message. I got a "we can't find the fucker" message.

I guess that makes my decision pretty easy.

I'm kidding. I have no idea what's wrong. Works great for me. But I don't even have any access yet so I can't help.

Is "mac" the word they use over at Scout for dumbass or something?

[KChiefsQT]

Does this mean you're leaving us forever?

I know you were. I finally found a link that would get me there. I am currently trying to register, but it is telling me that my email addy has already been used.

I'd like to know how the hell that is possible.
