So Brehs & Brehettes, how did y'all find The Coli? [6 Year Anniversary Special]

[Akae Beka]

Pioneer doing Pioneer tings.

When I was a kid, I liked to rap. That led me to browse the web for forums and groups. There was a undergroundhiphop forum that may have been the 1st to intrigue my mind. Signed up for AHH in 03 and Sohh in 2004. Imo Ahh was a decent bit better than Sohh during their primes because on Sohh, you couldn't really curse and I want to say post pictures? There was a couple of things that made Sohh lag behind, before AHH 1st demise. So the clever smilie game prolly started on AHH.

Name was Blazinskillz

I use to go on bodybuilding website looking for ways to get chicks then I found this site that talked about hip hop, black People topics and anime

I was on Worldstar. Got bored and started lurking the sports section (Coliseum/TSC) my senior year in High school (2015). Since registration was closed, I said fukk it. Then, like a year and a half later, I saw this one crazy ass thread that made me wanna get an account. Plus, it was a website with a predominately black user base.

July 22nd..a lethal legacy was born

It was back in 2012, I was reading a thread on SOHH where Lil Wayne dissed New York() and someone posted a link to this site. Ended up joining and the rest was history.

 

[YakSpiller]

I remember one day going on SOHH and it was dry as fukk. I was like errybody go?

Seen a post about thecoli being the new spot. The rest is history. I fukk with this site everyday. The only place online that I can actually relate too. We bicker, but this is honestly a great forum with a lot of smart peeps.

 

[GoAggieGo.]

Was on Allhiphop for awhile. When they decided to migrate to a new site, I dipped. I had been looking for a new home, for awhile. I always lurked on here, mainly in the ‘suem. Every time I’d come over here, registration would be locked. Finally caught it on a good day I guess.

Also, used to post on wordofsouth some years ago. That place died, as well.

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

I was part of the Great Migration from SOHH. One of the few sites I check daily.

It's strange because it feels like I've watched some people grow up on these sites. I joined SOHH in early 2007 I think

I started on the Nas sony board early 2000's, (that board was wild as fukk back then by the way). Then that board started beefin with the B2K board maybe, shyt went downhill from there. People on the board would mention SOHH, then like somebody else said everybody started leaving because SOHH was getting really strict about what they were letting you write and whatnot, I came to the coli basically as soon as they started

 

[larsattack]

I was listening to breakfast club and Charlemagne kept making fleece Johnson jokes. I googled him and thecoli thread was one of the first links. The thread was hilarious and I lurked for a min until
The Michael brown in Ferguson stuff popped off. That’s when I joined.

 

[SupaHotIce]

Hair at the back of my head wasnt growing and I was looking for a black hair forum to ask questions

Some thread that had nothing to do with hair came up. Someone with a joey badass avi going back and forth with a female poster made me join

 

[Actually6Foot3]

Was watching some Derrick Jaxn videos

Googled "Derrick Jaxn is a simp"

This thread came up

Clown gets on FB talking about single mothers are for grown men only

And a nikka came home

I didn't join coli until the end of 2016 but I knew about the coli a few yrs before I joined. When the IC was still active certain posters on there would post links to the coli in "Tha Donkey" section on there. The reason I didn't sign up before I did was because the links were troll threads.

I got sick of the bs on Boxden & the IC was just not what it once was when I joined in late '08. Reason why I signed up here.

 

[AB Ziggy]

I found this site when i was still active on the IC primarily on the Donkey and illpix sections .

There was one thread that i can't remember that posted a link to here regarding Kendrick's GKMC album. Next thing i knew, i was reading all the previous threads on the Booth on old school music since i was in my "real hip hop" phase back then. The rest was history.

 

[brownsugah]

I heard about the Coli last year and wanted to join, but registration was closed. After a month or 2, I got in contact with an admin on twitter and was able to join the site. ;)

Stumbled upon the thread about rappers ugly baby mommas/wives.
