[Mr. Kotter]

Seriously. :shrug:

I mean, it's pretty obvious he has "other irons in the fire," so what's going on behind the scenes? Come on, talk to us....man. :hmmm:

I don't post enough anymore to keep up with these things.... :)

The server has been running great for a while. What is the complaint?

[boogblaster]

Sounds like it could be had for maybe a personnal favor or two...

[Coach]

The server has been running great for a while. What is the complaint?

I think the issue is that the server really does bog down big time, especially whenever the Chiefs make a big splash in the off-season (See Ty Law Threads) and also during game day Sunday, where we receive alot of "Server is busy. Please try again."

I think most people on here are wanting to end that stuff, so that they can enjoy the maximum experience of the CP without having to deal with server issues.

[morphius]

If he would have bought us outright we would all be over at war paint now, and pissed.

I didn't experience hardly any of that during the playoff game. The server has been running pretty good imo.

[Mr. Kotter]

No complaint, really. At the moment.

My only point is, Phil seems to "be here;" and, Kyle, has....well, more "important" things to do. :shrug:

[Hammock Parties]

I've made a generous offer. Everything is proceeding as I have forseen.

[Mr. Kotter]

If he would have bought us outright we would all be over at war paint now, and pissed.

I suspect he has learned from that "experience".....

Have "we"???? :hmmm:

[dirk digler]

And that is different how?

[Coach]

I didn't experience hardly any of that during the playoff game. The server has been running pretty good imo.

Oh, I don't have any problems either, but at the end of Week 17, the server did had issues, especially the trifecta miracle that the Chiefs needed to "back" in the playoffs, especailly during the Denver/SF game at Mile High.

I'm guessing they want to, again in my opinion, to prevent it from happing it again in the 2007 NFL season, or probably the up-coming NFL Draft, which, historically the site has bogged down.

Of course, Kotter has mentioned about being "available" to it's site and all that.

[Mr. Kotter]

And that is different how?

Phil, at least....cares. He has a vested stake in "all of this," whereas.....Kyle (as much as a man-LOVE his "starting" this place) has, since.....'moved-on'....spiritually, and physically?

I think Phil's heart is just more into ChiefsPlanet, than Kyle's....personally; but that's just me....:shrug:

I am not try to give you a hard time Kotter I am just apathetic.

At one time I cared but not anymore.

I guess my point more so is that a lot of the stuff he was interested in doing for CP...where available over there after he realized nobody was in a position to make CP more than it was.

Needless to say the vision of what WPI might have been and the execution\people involved changed.

But IMO Phil went over to WPI as a last resort.

[crazycoffey]

I'd be curious, if it was open to share holding, I probably couldn't afford to much.

BTW, I said be curious, not Bi curious, Gochiefs. Just wanted to clarify.

Phobia seems like a good guy, and I'm not framing this as an attack on him, but why do so many people seem to regard him as an e-messiah, so to speak? This isn't a criticism of the man as much as an inquiry into the affection for his "ruling methods", as it were.

[Phobia]

I used to be interested in buying out Kyle's half. I don't think I'm interested any longer. Even if I were interested I'm not exactly loaded at the moment. Plus I don't have the passion I used to have. The experience of the past year took a lot out of me and I'm not just talking about the Athan thing either.

I don't even think Kyle would entertain offers. I gave him a pretty generous offer before I joined Warpaint and then another one shortly thereafter and he turned me down each time.

That....of course. I've given up coming here on "game days." It's a waste of time.

I understand, it was "better" during this past January.....but I wonder how much of that is due to folks like me, who have just given up, and don't even "try" to get on anymore? I could be wrong.

Otherwise, I think Phil has some "vision" for the place; whereas, it's more of a sentimental connection for Kyle anymore. I'm not saying Kyle doesn't necessarily care anymore....but so many irons in the fire, so little time..... :shrug:


Anyway, I think the place would be maintaining, or even "ascending".....as opposed to descending....JMHO. :hmmm:

people have chipped in here at least a couple times in the past. I have added more advertising to the new version that would help bring in a bit more money for him, and we have had offers from outside advertisers. I also offered to set up an Chiefs store where he would get a share of the profits and actually have to do nothing. None of that changed anything.

From what he said it sounded like he had the upgraded hardware ready, I'd be excited to get on it and see if it could handle the load. I'm sure he plans to wait till after the SB though. I don't think any of the site admin's have heard anything about it though.

If there was enough free disk space I would have upgraded the database myself, but being that DB's are not my expertise and all hell would break loose if I were to screw up this one, well, I don't dare try it.

I have done two software upgrades and added a lot of features, but until Kyle steps up to finish his piece they just sit there. I have a lot of other features planned as well, but until the upgrade it is pointless.


I feel the same way over on Patriots Planet. I would run some of the upgrades myself, but I am not a DB guy either and I am a little concerned about how it would go. And we are on VB 2.2.8. I've hacked in a few mods to get it closer to VB3+ but a lot of features I have to wait for.

WAY behind. The board is stable and fast most of the time, so that is good. I think the biggest thing we miss is the Rep system. I could install something similar, but I have been staying away from hacks that modify the database, hoping that we can be upgraded soon.

[Redrum_69]

WHats the sensitivity levels over at the patriots board like?

Could I say something like...your mom is like a poptart...shes great out of the package or toasted, you can dunk her in milk, after the second time youve had her you still want more

Though if I might suggest it, you may want to stay away from the rep system, it is a big pain in the butt sometimes.

This is exactly the problem with your analysis, it's entirely subjective, and not framed with any sort of reference to reality. Check out the thread "who has given you neg rep", read those comments, and still tell me you believe that was a TIC comment. Much like that, your lamentations for the olden days don't really have any proof in the pudding of your assertion, it's far more likely that you prefer them just because you were around here longer. Tough shit.

[Iowanian]

Like Iowanians? "Kill that baby yet?"

You know what, dip your pickle in battery acid.

I did make that comment, directed at quicksurfer. He'd been throwing a tizzy fit about not finding a cat he was too high and lazy to look for, and had spent a couple of days being very cavalier about getting his girlfriend an abortion, and was only concerned by the cost and inconvenience. His attitude was similar to throwing out some bad milk.
It was probably close to the line and I removed the comment later, but I stand by that sentiment with his attitude.

You can fancy yourself a vocabulized psuedointellectual all you want, but in the big picture, you routinely show that you know exactly jack shit.


as for Kyle....You guys should get off his ass. He is going to do the upgrade a year and a half ago. Sheeeeesh.

regardless of that, the board works, we're all here. Show enough antagonism and he might just pull the plug.

This thread is about 12 months too late. Phil isn't here nearly as much as he used to be.

Plus, this place is mine now and I'm not giving it up. :D

[htismaqe]

sounds like you're projecting....

this place is what it has always been: a no-holds barred place to discuss football and poop

so what if the names change? the new people are just as good as the old people...and to believe otherwise is just nostalgia and ego

what more do you want? premium? scoops? flashy banners?

Actually, the quality of the football discussion has gone down a bit. Not nearly as much X's and O's as there used to be.

ChiefsPlanet.com is your budget ripoff forum.

[Eleazar]

This place has gone to shit since Kyle left.

[BigRedChief]

Almost all BB's are at the mercy of one man. This is not unusual. I think all Chief fan boards are set up like this. The owner has posession of the hardware, the rights to the name and does most of the upgrades. You are at the mercy of one individuals actions.

Most of the time its because they had a vision and put their own hard earned money into that vision. As an I.T. techie I understand the reluctance to give up control of the software or hardware to some one else. That path has been tried.

Complaining about the situation will not do any good. Starting another site and saying lets all go here will not work. You will never be able to duplicate the Planet on another site because some posters will not follow.

Since morphius began his admin duties the Planet has run much smoother. We all just have to wait until the hardware gets upgraded by the owner.

I met Kyle this fall and shared some jaggerbombs. We talked a little. Seems like an okay dude to me. I'll give him some slack on this.

[Mr. Kotter]

I understand your point of view. And I'm not suggesting the quality of the Planet has gone down, just the quality of the football discussions.

Frankly, I get my fix in the DraftPlanet forum. It's perfect for those of us who miss the in-depth football talk.

[keg in kc]

And I'm not suggesting the quality of the Planet has gone down, just the quality of the football discussions.I still think the quality of the board has dropped as a whole. There's not the same level of quantity or quality, either one, from back in the heyday.

Well, I'm one of the ones who came over from WPI. So I have neither much history with Phil, nor any history with the planet.

e-messiah he isn't, but I think most people like his "style" because it's a fair style that encourages participation and getting along without losing world class humor.

Dare I say "common sense" applies as a descriptor.

That said, I wasn't super involved there or here, so this is just my surface observations.

P.S. I don't even live near Kansas City, so you can know that my comments haven't been swayed by Phil's legendary talents with the smoker. someday perhaps.

That's all very kind, exaggerated though it may be.

I seem to have a knack for making people feel comfortable via text. Obviously I've dedicated a great deal of time to the Chiefs online community whether it be here, Warpaint, 37 Forever, the original Star board, or a host of other Chiefs related sites too numerous to mention on which I've participated. I try to be fair and I think I succeed in doing so a lot more than I've failed. I believe in giving people multiple chances, sometimes to my own detriment. Contrary to the content of this post, I don't generally like tooting my own horn. I know that the Planet has been a success in spite of me. I know that Warpaint nearly doubled in terms of registered users and quintupled in traffic in the past year not solely because of me but because I understand how to encourage participation and make a message board interesting to an array of personalities. Ultimately the success of any site depends on the user community itself. They make the place interesting to come back to repeatedly. If you have boring leadership and members, you'll have a boring site. But if you have colorful participants as we do here, everybody wants to "tune in" to see what they have to say.

FWIW, that "legendary" sense of humor has the ability to alienate some folks as well. I'm not a popular figure over at the Coalition and there's another Chiefs site on which I refuse to participate because I've been trashed unfairly for being a cutup. Some people don't "get it" and that's too be expected. I'm sure I'd be offended by myself if I ever took myself seriously.

I am grateful for what Kyle has done in helping to create this place. However, just because he started the place doesn't mean that it's his to do with what he pleases. I understand that he is busy, and I understand that he has put a ton of effort and money into this place. However, if he can't put the effort into making ChiefsPlanet a better place, he should be willing to allow others to do so.

Consider this illustration. Imagine that ChiefsPlanet were some sort of charitable organization - an organization to benefit homeless kids or something - and that Kyle was the founder. After starting the organization, tons of people were excited about it and wanted to make the organization a success. After a while, though, Kyle had other life issues come up and could no longer keep the organization running. Is it OK for him to simply let it die, or should he be responsible for appointing a new leader to keep it going? We're all a bunch of homeless kids, and I tend to believe the latter.

Sorry for such a horrible illustration. I realize that it's not the same situation, but the underlying idea is the same. I guess to sum it up, I mean no disrespect to Kyle whatsoever, but CP would be a better place if he'd turn over the reins.

If Kyle is offended by this thread, he's much less of a man than I have given him credit for. I am quite grateful for the opportunity Kyle has provided for us. I feel that we, as Chiefs fans, are more fortunate than most NFL fans to have a place like this to hang. Again, thank you Kyle. I've expressed my thanks to Kyle in numerous other threads as well.

No, Jim....I give Kyle more credit than you do. I'm confident he'll understand the spirit in which this was intended.

Kyle is obviously a talented and busy dude. At some point, we all have choices to make. Maybe he's wrestling with that choice. If so, that's cool. I'm merely eager to see this place take it to the "next level"--as an NFL coach might say.

If that's with Kyle; great, because I'm sure it'll be a great ride. If that's with someone else, I think that's fine too. Phil just happens to be the first dude to pop into my mind, in the event Kyle decides to hand the thing off. And it's certainly no reflection on Kyle's contributions to this place. He's the man holding the cards. No doubt about it. I'm just hoping he makes a play....any play...sometime soon. That's all.

[Dartgod]

I am grateful for what Kyle has done in helping to create this place. However, just because he started the place doesn't mean that it's his to do with what he pleases.
:spock:

This might be the dumbest thing ever said on this site.

Interesting and valid point.And this the second dumbest.

It is Kyle's site. He owns the domain and has every right to do with it what he pleases

Did you read the rest of the post? At some point, you (the general you - not you specifically) have to start thinking of the greater good. You may think that ChiefsPlanet is Kyle's toy to play with and break whenever he wants to. I tend to believe that it would be incredibly selfish for someone to think only of themselves like you're insinuating.

It's a freakin' FREE site to discuss Chiefs football fer Christ's sake! Kyle owes NOTHING to anyone here.

If it so bad, then please create something better on your dime. Jim is right. There are a lot of ungrateful people here.

I'm pretty sure that we've had this exact same debate before, so I'll let it die. If money were the issue, I might say you were onto something. Since it's not, however, I respectfully disagree with your opinion. :p

Actually, I don't have a problem with people bitching. It just the outlandish statements like those that were recently posted that have me scratching my head.

I wouldn't think that someone with such an ginormous IQ would require half a day to do the research for that book report, sparky.

The only thing really bigger than your inflated ego is the void of validity to the majority of your arguements in most any grown up conversation.

As for what I do or who I am and how I carry myself, I don't require validation here to sleep at night. While I do struggle with carrying myself like a Christian should sometimes and often utilize the quick thinking given to me by my creator, I'll wager I do more in real life to walk the walk than your self worshipping, conceited, self aggrandizing, pompous candy ass would ever hope. Alot of people here know what I'm about in real life. You're just hot air and schegma breath.

For as superior as you obviously feel that you are, its equally as obvious to me that your head is far enough up your knowitall ass you'd need the Hubble telescope to see what color your eyes are. You're the cowardly lion with a big roar and $2 words, scared shitless that someone will answer your $.25 ass.

I should probably cower in shame, as you've so adeptly demonstrated your superior play of the game of life, by nearly doubling my yearly posting rate.

Maybe someday, you'll be fully employed and the real adult conversations will make more sense. Until then, you'll have to keep relying on that Freshman book report.

As to why I don't like you, it delves no deeper than the fact that you're an elitist asshole with a thesaurus and a bad attitude, and you think that makes you Bill Braskey.

To the best of my knowledge this is the best Chiefs site on the intraweb. Using it has never cost me a dime other than a couple of $20 checks I mailed in a few years back and I wasn't required to do that. I'd say that's a pretty good deal. I don't understand anyone griping about very occasionally not being able to log on to a site you don't pay to access. If it was your porn subscription I'd see the point, but free football and religion talk? That's out of line.

Many of us who have contributed in the past have no regrets; and would happily do it again.....but I also think it's fair that we see some of the "stuff"---changes and improvements, come to pass, before many of us will do so again....JMHO. Shit, or get off the pot....so-to-speak.

I've contributed decent amounts every time I've been asked and I don't feel like I've given enough for the use and enjoyment I get from this place. Personally, it wouldn't bother me if this was a pay site (nothing ridiculous, but a couple of bucks a month). That sure would clear out the suckers and deadbeats.

Changes would be nice - I've done my share of bitching and whining. But we all get great value from this BB right now, as is, and we owe Kyle a serious debt of gratitude.

And the next time there's a CP fundraiser (overdue, IMO), we should all put our money where our mouths are, and perhaps something beautiful will happen.

[Eleazar]

It's free, what do you want?

Actually, it's not free to whomever pays the undoubtedly massive hosting cost for it. I don't know how that all works, but I doubt the cornball Google ads defrayed much of the cost.

I personally care very little about gameday server issues. I think you could throw everything but the kitchen sink at the issue and you would still have problems...

I don't want to throw any fuel on this fire, but I will agree with Zach's post.

He's been saying that the thing is going to be upgraded for a very long time. He's said it's going to be "next week" more than three times. I don't know what is going on. I don't know what his future plans are. I concede to his ownership. He holds the keys. Obviously there are people who are upset. Some are entitled to be, I'd venture - mostly the ones who have put their money where their mouth is.

I love this place. I feel like it's a ship without a rudder but I still love it.

But saying "x is going to happen" and not doing it is a shitty thing to do. I understand people have busy lives...thats fine...don't go out and say the board will be upgraded.

People ask what I expect for something that is free? I guess I expect not to be lied too. Nothing more really.

I wrote that reply in one five minute sitting after getting back from class today and then logging on. Sorry if my ability to actually think on my feet is so threatening to you. If you think anything else, you might want to join me in the hubble deep field. Bring your crisco and one of the latex gloves that bull juicers use to jack off and then inseminate the bovine population. There might be a spare one hanging from your wife's crotch.

So an elitist asshole with a thesaurus and bad attitude is empirically worse than the uneducated asshole with a grabag of 8 major putdowns that he shakes up from time to time, but never varies. "Die in a Fire" "Stuff object X up your ass" "You're (insert douche-related product here". It's the same trite shit from you every time, and the reason you aren't called on it is because you're part of the old-timer clique.

"Grown up conversation"--by this I assume you mean the tired and old beliefs of people rapidly approaching middle and late age who have by and large given up on their own ability to actually make anything of themselves or change anything about the world. Of course, since I'm not yet a quitter, I guess I just don't understand how hard the world is :crybaby:. The sad fact about assertions like that is that they show you for the coward and the stagnant lump of prokaryote shit that you actually are.

If you want to weigh what you do in your life versus mine, you can, but I don't think that you are going to come out favorably. I'm sorry if I'm not restrained by the 9-5 job, answering to one of the Bobs, or being the lackey of any numerous donkeys ahead of me on the professional ladder. I actually have intellectual and personal freedom in my career, and I prefer it that way. There's a reason why people like you don't do what I do--you can't. However, you have so much invested in your own insular and primitive view of the world that the mere risk of trying to think outside of the miniscule box you've created for yourself envelops you in so much fear and terror that you'd sooner return to your own barbaric assumptions than ever attempt to have a truly brave or original thought roll through your head. And since you can't counter what I say with any substance, enter the grammarian trolls to try and prop you up.

I think the term "economies of scale" would apply.

Before I continue, let me state clearly that I don't know jack-s**t about the computer world. But I do know about the retail and restaurant worlds and I know that in those worlds it is literally impossible to make every customer happy at the highest peak times. If you have every employee working, every register open, every shelf stocked, things still get bottlenecked and you just work through it the best you can.

I truly love this place. It's the best site on the Internet. I've probably spent more time here in the last 6 years than I have in my bed. I'd like to be the last person to question Kyle, after all, he's essentially entrusted *me* with running this site.

Yep, that's what I said. When it comes to the day-to-day running of the Planet - I'm Carl Peterson. Other than Dole, all of the mods you see now are my appointees. He doesn't tell me what to do, and even when I ask about things, he rarely answers.

I truly love this place. It's the best site on the Internet. I've probably spent more time here in the last 6 years than I have in my bed. I'd like to be the last person to question Kyle, after all, he's essentially entrusted *me* with running this site.

Yep, that's what I said. When it comes to the day-to-day running of the Planet - I'm Carl Peterson. Other than Dole, all of the mods you see now are my appointees. He doesn't tell me what to do, and even when I ask about things, he rarely answers.

Look, I don't want to say anything bad about Kyle - this place would be here without him. But there's no use in dancing around the truth.
Damn it, Parker!!! :cuss::cuss::cuss:


Thanks for your candor and insight. Heh.

Kyle....every one of us who've come to love this place thank you for what you've done--seriously and sincerely. Some of us are just intrigued at the unrealized potential this place may have.

If you are occupied with other obligations, or simply are not interested in exploring that realm...that's entirely cool. It's certainly your call, and your prerogative. And, once again, thanks for all you do.

Some of us whiny bitches just need to enjoy what we have, I guess. ;)
