2 Years Later...The Last Days of SOHH and The GENESIS of THE COLI

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

Two years ago...

The COLI came and crushed the buildings.

The game would never be the same from the time period between March 2012 to May 2012

SoHH.com Forum Members:

I'm writing to address you directly regarding the deterioration of the SOHH.com forums.

As you know, my partner and I started SOHH.com in 1995 and the forums were the foundation of the site. The forums quickly became recognized as a the most vibrant online hip-hop community and spurned many spinoffs and copycat forums. Many of you have been members for several years and can remember our craziest and most hilarious moments.

In 2007, we partnered with Buzznet.com, an online social media/entertainment website, to create a joint website that would enhance the SOHH forum user experience with cool social media bells and whistles. That website, as you may recall, was called "TheDougie.com." The SOHH.com forums, located previously at www.sohh.com/forums were moved to Buzznet's servers at would was supposed to be their temporary domain, ProjectCovo.com.

Unfortunately, SOHH forum users never truly adopted TheDougie and Buzznet decided they no longer wanted to invest resources into the joint venture. However, though the contract stipulated a return of the SOHH Forums back to SOHH.com's parent company, Buzznet did not return the forums to us, claiming they were owed money for the joint venture. As such, the forums have remained under the Buzznet servers since 2007 and the responsibility to maintain and monetize them has solely been Buzznet's.

WHY DID ANYBODY THINK THE DOUGIE WAS A GOOD IDEA? WHAT WAS THAT ANYWAY? BY THE TIME I CLICKED ON THAT RED BANNER ABOVE THE FORUMS THE LINK DIED AND WENT TO A 404 page!

IT WAS THEN WE REALIZED>>>SOHH SCREWED US!

AND FIGHT WE DID!

BLOOD WAS SPILLED FOR THE PEOPLE TO BE FREE! AND THUS THE COLI WAS BORN!
AND EVIL WAS VANQUISHED

SOON>>>SOHH/PROJECTCOVO met its eventual demise

This.

that was the reason the whole projectcovo was created in the first place.

So many people just left after that thogh. The mods even banned the word COLI and banned people from promoting the coli.

Real talk...sohh was and is garbage. We MADE those forums. They stole their news from US. I never checked the front page and when I did it was the most embarassing travesty ever. SOHH NYC blog was a joke. Gayant was the worst blogger ATL and hip-hop could ever have. The articles were terrible. Sometimes I wonder if the writers of those blogs even got paid. They never even made their own content...they just lifted it from other sites and just put their logo on top of it.
