One of the biggest founders, Jim (Logical), is regrettably not here with us today. His name definitely deserves mention in a thread like this.

That's one hell of a way to achieve a measure of immortality.

Logical we thank you and kyle bob dole and jazzlver and histmiq lupaz sure oz and that phobia guy who left.

Who was the first to get this site going?

Looks like it is getting to be time for someone to write a comprehensive history of the Planet.

AustinChief

Now that's a good idea. I think it would be very interesting.

Anyone to step up to the task?

You're welcome. Don't mind my post count, I do a lot around here. :D

I just come here for the train wrecks.

From a techie side, it was AustinChief. However, my understanding is that it was a pretty large group effort that led the exodus from the Star site.

I remember those days. I liked the Star's board and really hated to have to make a change as everyone does. As I recall the Star was abandoning the board and there wasn't much of a choice.

Interestingly, the donks board was great back then and much more tolerable than its present form. It beat the Star's effort by a mile. I joined that board in 97, maybe 98.

I joined the CP not long after it was originated. By the way, anyone remember when that date was? Work issues and travel didn't allow much participation until I retired. But I would read this site almost every day.

At any rate, I think those folks developed a premier site for the Chiefs faithful.

I wouldn't be here if DaKCMan wasn't so Awesome...

Without my tireless efforts, none of this would be possible. It's what I do.

I bleed Silver & Black,
But hang at the Planet ;)
What's that say about this place.......(other than the bouncers suck :D )

Just wish ya wouldn't have stolen half my post copunt :( instead of giving me ooddles of cash????

Yes great job!!!
