I think I might recognize you from there.

Are you also from Jersey?

How? I can't post there or do anything besides login into my account

Someone does have my avy in there, so maybe you that who's you're thinking of.

same here

old ass gatekeeping niggas

Oh. I thought you posted there in the past.

And yeah..I was thinking about your avi.

There's no way that happens

In a nutshell, the gatekeeping was initially done because racists on other websites were quoting the Coli a lot and they wanted to avoid infiltration.

They couldn't handle me

Yeah I still got an acct there lol, it’s ok, nothing special. Rather be on here 😂 but

Lmaooooo

they are really open with their homophobia and transphobia which is a turn off but I must admit they are really influential when it comes to forums…maybe more than ktt….

they need to open registration so I can reign terror on their site 😈

Yeah I have an account on there. I mostly lurk. The community is...sad is the best way to describe it? Mostly cause at this point they're old as hell and have been on that forum since I think 2011, and a lot of them were in their mid to late 20s back then already so like you could very likely be getting into a whole back and forth with some nigga who is 35-40. That being said, because the demographic is older than what you'll find on KTT you can find more mature discussion on serious topics in the right sections. For example, the sports section there is way more active than it is on here cause it's so many mad ass old heads about their sports in that s***

But because these are people apart of an older generation they got their grumpy old nigga takes on s***. They sexist, they homophobic, at times very hateful towards specific races, I've noticed some borderline anti-semetic threads, and I'm not too surprised cause it's a lot of NOI type niggas on there. Personally I find it better to just lurk/read through threads, dudes be funny af on there sometimes, but stupid af most times. It is what it is

Yes

TheColi is KTT users older brothers

rly?

not surprised sadly

i’ve read that hip-hop forums generally used to get raided a lot by racists in the early-mid 2000s

Yup. Even HipHopDX's comment section can look like a racist mess depending on the topic.

Basically this.

For me, the highs of the Coli with regards to Black History/Cultural discussions on The Root, old school hip hop/R&B discussions, sports discussions, and grown man advice is higher than KTT.

But the lows are much lower. As you said, the blatant homophobia, transphobia, Anti-Semitism, racial feuds, "diaspora wars", MGTOW rhetoric, conspiracy theories, etc. is what makes it such as toxic place and worse than KTT in other ways.

Still, I mostly lurk the Coli for threads such as these.

What racism?

They constantly post racial slurs against other minorities on topics pertaining them
