I've read the very beginning of this thread, and now the very end.
From what I've gathered, it is all about a bunch of actual real life people, having a "cyber war" of sorts in an unreal "world" on the internet, where "repping" and "negging" are the "thing" to do.
Where a neg is a serious threat.
When I first joined this site, it used to blow my mind seeing how people actually take this alternate "world" (i guess that's what this is?) so serious.. like wtf? I used to be like damn do these people not have real life social interactions
.
My ONLY and SOLE reason for even joining this site was because I thought it'd help in getting a
such as myself back into "the loop" regarding the hip hop world. Keep me up to date and in the know, feel me?
I even "got into "with a "crew" (lol feels so funny calling it that
) that calls itself shoo icey(?) in which I laid down to them, from a psychological perspective, why such behavior is weird as fk after they'd been "braggin" about being a "crew" or
something of that nature.

But since then?, I can honestly say that I've thoroughly enjoyed myself, the communications, the threads- and I have even slightly assimilated myself into this whole "message board forum community" world thing.
And again, I really don't have any complaints about it either.. going so far as to even handing out "negs" these days
And I love a "free dap + rep thread , cant tell me shyt
(show me "free dap +rep themed thread" a year ago when I first joined and I would've been like
)
But now, I'm an actual participant
and I get plenty of laughs from the interaction with other posters(and have gotten good info on various topics too) and genuinely enjoy reading and posting.
But then, threads like this come up and I read some of these comments.. takes me back to my initial sentiments about message board "communities" (
)
I'm telling ya, to any sane, socially healthy, clear headed adult, this shyt is
hard to understand/fathom.. it's hard to understand how this is taken so seriously.
Peep the scenario that I imagine must happen to some of you sometimes:
Coli poster is sitting at computer/tapping on smartphone, posting in this thread..
Person walks up to them and asks, "what are you doing/smiling for/frowning for/laughing about" (whatever, just pick one)
Coli poster replies: Well im in this clique on this website called the Coli and this guy, who calls himself _____ , is saying that my crew aint shyt.
Person: What?
Coli poster: ...he say him and his crew are the best rep crew..
Person:

Peson: ................
Person: ..best what?
Coli poster: Rep, you know, like, reputation. We go around neggin nikkas til they're in the
red n everything- but see there's this other squad named.."
Person: *slowly begins to back away from Coli poster, looking like
