Thank you to Chiefsplanet

[Chiefspants]

Hey, folks.

This is a sentimental post, apologies in advance.

I am on cloud nine, both because I simply can not believe what we just witnessed and the also the various substances I consumed earlier today.

Some of you won’t care about this info (this thread could very well get buried - some old timers might dig it - we’ll see), some already figured this out (nothing gets by you, DaFace), but here it is.

“Just standin’ around, suckin’ on a big ol’ chili dog” was all my best friend and I. We found Chiefsplanet as sixth graders from gblowfish’s website. Reading through his “coaches who sucked” page was a cathartic event after a disappointing 2004 finish. A year later we decided to make accounts, and unsurprisingly, our 13 year old grammar, style, and lack of conversational ability did not go over well with the old guard here. My friends and I trashed Chiefsplanet after getting razzed by some of the regulars and old timers here. We were 13 & 14 years old and decided to troll on our way out and never come back.

Yet...

We never left. The community here had a way of keeping us around. Since being a teenager and surviving high school (unsurprisingly, school and certain parts of the childhood were a rough time for me) I started a non-profit and received unbelievable support from this community (shoutout to ChiTown!). It was thanks to a lot of the folks in the community on here that we were able to help fund the construction of a school in an indigenous community in Nepal (seriously) In 2016, I met an extraordinary person on here (C3HIEF3S) who was moving to Lawrence. He soon became one of my best friends in world and was eventually a groomsman at my wedding, and this week- I realized that I have now spent half of my life on Chiefsplanet and have grown up in a real way here.

Thank you to the mod and admin staff for creating such a fantastic culture here - and of course, to the entire community. We survived heartbreaks, the Pioli era, and saw disappointments that were too much for so many fairweather fans. After all of that, today we ascended to the mountaintop - and the feeling was better than anything I could have imagined.

I’m starting a $5 monthly donation. Chiefsplanet created a place of unity for us and I can’t wait to celebrate many more championships here. Thank you for making this place feels like home, folks. I’m now 27 years old and out in Colorado. Tomorrow my wife and I will be moving into our dream home, and I honestly can’t believe it.

How bout’ those Chiefs?

We would not have found Chiefsplanet without your radblow site! Your “coaches who sucked” page was cathartic after our disappointing finish in 2004. As a disappointed sixth grader Chiefs fan, your website and Chiefsplanet had the exact kind of cynicism I was looking for, as a lot of my friends in that era were the type who thought Damon Huard was the franchise QB the Chiefs had always needed.

We were also weekly readers of Doggity’s reports in 2005!

Austin Chief is a good dude, but truth be told I miss some of the old timers. Where is Phobia?

I hope Phobia was elated last week as well as all of the old-timers. It was cool to see a lot of the long-time lurkers emerge in week leading up to the Super Bowl, but it'd be awesome if we were able to get an old-time celebration thread/discord together. We all shared some lean times as fans of this team -- and the last two years made them all worth it.

I was on the old Kc star board and remember some asshat always posting that the Chiefs where going to move to California....

Found this place around 2011 and lurked for a couple years and then joined the CP circus... I don’t go 4 hrs in my day without checking CP and consider it second family... Some of the family are more nutty than others though,but that’s true in all families..

It was something about Sammy.

I feel like CP has been the only place I could come after the Chiefs re-defined ways to lose and break our hearts...and people would understand.

And I feel like CP is the only place I can come after the Chiefs re-defined what redemption looks like and gave us moments we'll never forget...and people would understand.

It was great to meet a few of y'all in Miami and I look forward to celebrating years of Mahomes glory here.

First down Sammy that's what it was.

My original account was Wendyschili(?) I think?

The account we trolled the forum with was something related to “rade”. Our favorite drink was Gatorade am (not joking).

How we trolled is that we both signed onto the account and at that time, there was no limit to how much you could post (now there is a 20 second limit). This allowed us to basically overwhelm the forum instantly since both of us were posting in different threads at the same time. The rade account and Wendyschili accounts were banned soon after (we did have a few doppelgängers do the same thing months later if memory serves) and I made this account later in the summer once I found myself continuing to come back here.

A few years later I got convinced by my buddies to give it another try (this time we had 5-6 high school friends all raring to go). This time we were immediately knee-capped by the reporting system and DaFace linked my IP to a few of the accounts (We were posting from our high school computer lab, believe it or not). DaFace Permabanned my Chiefspants account (I had posted from the school before, and Buck was onto me too). DaFace let me back in after I apologized over e-mail and promised to knock it off forever (DaFace basically read me my last rites). Thanks for that, DaFace. A year later I would make my first post asking people to consider donating to a school in Nepal - and after DaFace saw our non-profit partner was legit, he gave me a blank slate. With how people like Chitown have transformed what is now my non-profit, I couldn’t be more thankful for the admin staff here for giving me another chance in this community.

Dope.

[Naptown Chief]

I don't have any friends and nobody likes me so it's nice to get on chiefsplanet, where I don't have friends and nobody likes me. Chiefsplanet.com saved my life!

OP does seem nice, though
