Is this the biggest "team forum"? I haven't been to a lot of other NFL teams forums, but CP is pretty big.

At one time, there were only 2 or 3 sports-related forums that were busier in terms of posts:user ratio. One of them was like the official forum for NC Tarheel basketball...

If you're following everyone who posts anything about sports at any given time then I suppose that would work as "a single site" that is better at breaking news. I'm not sure I'd rely on that as an overall breaking news site as much as I would CP just because I wouldn't be following every potential source. JMO.

You don't need to follow everybody because the people that you follow will retweet anything important they read elsewhere. If Schefter posts anything Broncos related it is retweeted at least 5 times by 5 different people on my timeline. News travels fast on twitter.

It's Chiefsplanet, for all sports, with an army of paid users.

ha, I deleted the post so now it looks like you just asked that out of nowhere...

It is a scrolling news feed of different topic on Twitter... for example "Kansas City Chiefs" Manning, NFL could all be search terms and if anyone on twitter posts a tweet with those terms, it would scroll by in the feed

Here is a crappy example
http://chiefsplanet.com/twits.html

After going to the page, wait at least a minute for the feed to populate

How about an upaid user just sharing................

Chiefs have formally requested Peyton's agent possible dates/times to visit Arrowhead to discuss the possibility of joining the Chiefs

I think that would be very cool, Mr. AustinChief. Plus, it would add qualitatively to the overall user experience here at good ol' ChiefsPlanet.

Not as good as allowing photos of bare niplets, but good, nonetheless.

I'd imagine it'd be pretty tough to evaluate that. By "big" do we mean the most users? The most posts? The most posts RECENTLY? The most active users?

We're clearly one of the bigger ones out there, but I'd be pretty surprised if we were actually THE biggest team forum out there.

There are several other team sites bigger in terms of all the above. It's tough to be everything for everyone so there are other Chiefs boards that are perfectly fine and fill certain niches in this market. You have homer sites, family sites, blog sites, prediction sites, and then thick skin sites like the Planet.

In the beginning, we were one of the biggest. We were a trend setter. Every time we'd change our forum structures, subforum names, rules, etc - other sites followed quickly behind. Now we've mostly plateaued mostly due to our sucky team. That's not to say a crappy team isn't good for traffic. We have more vent traffic after a tough loss than we do after an amazing win.
