Nah SOHH which is what TheColi was derived from. He was posting links to his site on the og coli when he first started out. shyt, Ak was in The Spot (og Booth) when he started out too. I think they chased him off tho :pachaha:
when he wasnt getting enough feedback he then resorted to spamming the shyt out of his site. mods gave him a bit leeway first, but then a lot of folks were fed up with blatant spamming and I think mods limited it.

it was basically follow/retweet/subscribe pleas that happen on youtube/switch/twitter/etc nowadays, just in forum form and almost begging for them.

To be honest A LOT of these cats frequented AHHH SOHH and BGOL....

before social media as we know.it now really took off 15 years or so ago....these boards WERE social media
correct me if I'm wrong but BGOL predates them all. Started in 1996 I think. SOHH appears to have come a few years after and I remember BSO on there heavy; used to get trolled at times. He was also looking for writers to work for free in the early 2000's (2002/3); I know because I offered but asked what compensation/gifts (hats, shirts, ticket events) in return besides a byline; never heard back

He was still paying people the same way, which is what started his troubles earlier this year with the sexual harassment.

He was a regular member on SOHH. He would post links to his articles and we would give him feedback. Man that shyt was ROUGH. Thats why we were so shocked that his site actually took off and he was getting legit press access. His articles read like a 6th grader wrote them.

Bro, when he was at the NBA Finals asking questions for the first time, I was floored

I have no idea of his (mis)adventures. I stopped being on that site around 2011;

All the OG content was lost and some of my favorite posters went MIA (some passed); plus that price raising was a joke. There were a few alumni who came out of BGOL and made it big. When Black Sands Entertainment came out here I thought it was Drayonis:

No bullshyt, when I heard “Robert Littal, BlackSportsOnline.....” I couldn’t fukkin believe it. On the one hand it’s cool to see someone from our parts make it, on the other hand his writing was fukkin awful so the fact he got this far over more quality independent Black sports media outlets is troubling to say the least.

Michaelangelo correctly predicted the alignment of sports & beauty salon gossip years before it happened.

Said that it would attract more viewers than an independent straight forward sports site would .

That's the niche he was able to carve out for himself


robert said one time if he made a straight forward sports site he wouldnt make enough ad money to survive. :yeshrug: if robert was white he'd be bartsool :hubie:
