Damn 5yrs. Time goes so fast. Came a long way from Sohh. This is one of the only sites i get my info, lurk, and post my mixes/feed back on. I appreciate everything I've learned on here. The jokes, meme's, smiley's random people getting exposed, gems, and all around fukkery. Ima be old as hell posting here. Props to the cats running this. All the brehs/brehettes even the groupies and trolls.

What's the baccstory to the whole website and who created it? @Brooklynzson @cook

A lot of us used to post on another message board but the servers were garbage. The site would always crash during big NBA/NFL/college football games and it was difficult to get the owner to upgrade anything.

During a playoff game where the board crashed for almost the whole night, a few people decided that they'd had enough so they made this board and called it the Coli (short for the Coliseum, which was the sports section on the other board).

A lot of people, including the owners of the other board, did nothing but hate and clown the people who left. Some of us were stuck in that "this is the best we will ever get" mindset and they were afraid to break free.

Eventually almost everybody migrated over here and the other owner tried to change their tune, but it was too late.

Shout out to class of 2012. Never take the servers or the owners for granted over here.
