the reason people left was the arrogance of the staff. lots of favoritism from the mods, servers kept crashing (the running joke was that the servers were powered by a hamster on a wheel). and when people complained they would tell us "if you don't like it, make your own forums/join another messageboard". it was a combination of many factors and a perfect storm.

I heard muthafukkas saying they made :hamster:
Made :hamster: say ok sohh...make another :hamster:

:ufdup:

I had taken a break... came back to tumbleweeds... asked a random rare passerby where the town went and he hit me in the pm said they found gold in thecoli.com so I bounced. We shoulda worked out a deal to get our classic threads though...

The staff was biased towards some rappers is something stans used as an excuse and when people got upset BOOTLEGS were pulled, like Cormegas. Felecia Palmer loved Nas but that never stopped them from letting people make a few billion nas vs jay-z threads.

It was about the servers, the lack of updated software, and the arrogance of the staff. They learned a hard myspace-esque lesson of ignoring your community.

They actually got in bed with another company, the partnership didn't work out, and didn't have access to change the code etc after that :yeshrug: I think since 2008 or 2009 sohh was basically running on some neglected server with an old coffee mug on it somewhere under someone's desk until the domain expired

Yeah the reason they ran to Projectcovo or whatever is because they never updated the software even while making good money on advertising. ***** exploited the out of date message board software which led them running to Projectcovo in the first place :snoop:

edit: hahah at FOUR CHAN being a banned word here too.

lets not forget the early allhiphop vs sohh beef as well which eventually SOMEHOW bought EVERYONE 2gether. thats still the craziest transition to me. i was actually a all hip hop rider at first, thought sohh was wack(which it was) til i realized the conversation was better and funner, now we are here. day one baby !!!
