from what I remember....

SOHH was Wild West for a while then poster called out 4-c-h-a-n in JBO they came through crushed the buildings basically made the homepage porn....they shut down the board for a bit ....then it came back project convo with made rules

the mods wouldn't listen to posters on how to improve the site (there was a time where you couldn't even post gifs on SOHH) anyways all the cool features coli has is what everyone was asking for..

then they rebranded with the Dougie or some shyt and the servers were slow as hell.....and the coli was born

It used to be sohh.com


Sohh kept crashing during nba playoffs cuz the servers couldn’t handle all the replies. Think it was the clippers 25 point comeback on the grizzlies game the straw that broke camels back. Two sohh posters created a new site which was thecoli

everyone migrated over here





I just pulled up sohh.com for the first time

I had no idea the site was still around :ohhh:

projectcovo admins were fukkin nazis, servers were :hamster:, sohh admins kind of abandoned the board after we went to war with 4ch@n and got hacked (all they did was deface the front page iirc and the board was still down for weeks)

That was two JBO posters that decided to do go and poke the proverbial bear iirc?

I used to read SOHH when I was like 12 yall remember the nikka who had that column, I wanna say he was puerto rican, he called people his doggies(I think, it was some kind of pet name) and he posted a chick every week.

It was lowkey WOAT ngl but I remember it vividly

Whoever owns the Coli, be it Brook, Cook or whoever, is SEVERELY slacking.

The Coli is EXTREMELY influential on viral internet culture, current black culture & pop culture as a whole. We have literally created millionaires on this site. Akademiks, Complex, XXL, Karen Civil, the Shade Room, the Jasmine Brand, Adam 22, lots of rappers, WSHH, TMZ and MTO all comb this website for content.

The owner literally has THOUSANDS of content creators giving him free content. The fact that he is content with the site simply being an ad revenue farm is sad, he could be a wealthy technocrat if he cared more & had the acumen.
