Damn your progression leading to the coli mirrors mine to the letter. For the exact same reasons too; The IC's traffic was a ghost town compared to what it was before.
Went to BX in 08 and it was cool until around 2014, and only held out because I didnt know any other sites that matched the traffic and fukkery i craved. around 2015 I started seeing cacs on BX saying some slick shyt to black posters and The coli getting mentioned here and there like it was some joke wannabe site. I checked out the coli once back then and it seemed dead to me for whatever reason and i passed over it. IT wasnt til I got my 1st ban that I got the wake up call. It was behind some bullshyt. I started verbally lighting into these pale face fakkits for the blatant disrespect and cacs started Mentioning the admin with the snitch smilie. Boom I got banned. I initially wasnt gonna sign back up so I cut BX off for 3 weeks on some "I might have to start my own forum" tip cause the way them cacs ran shyt on there left a bad tatse in my mouth. I eventually signed back up again, but this time It was with bad intentions. I created another account just to flame all those cacs up knowing the inevitable outcome. But some time between all that I gave The coli another chance and I fell back from BX for good beginning of last year. One of the last messages I got was some cac @ing the admin over there with that snitch smilie (the one with the c00n nikka on the phone lookin like he finna tell on somebody)
I aint give a fukk, I just logged out and that was the end of it. Especially when I found out the Coli lets you change the color theme to black (easier on the eyes and it just feels right)
Bout to see if they got a red /white/black theme to pay homage to the IC. Im feeling nostalgic than a MF right now
I kind of disrespect are you talking about?

you know the forums is pretty much the only thing that has kept your site poppin right? but they didnt care. they only cared about content for the main site and their articles/interviews. i pretty much stopped posting there around 04-05 anyways.


and had the SN Allhiphopsux (cause i was mad at getting banned) from like 06-09' SOHH was the GOAT
board then the mods messed it up and
and the rest is history.....now i call The Coli home "that's my message board"
I've been pretty blessed to see the golden era of each site.

Twitter has no new growth this past year... IG been getting boring... but FB will always be FB.
