I only remember vaguely browsing The Coli a few times in the past so I do not have any input it unfortunately.
I mainly lurk on here, but the atmosphere of this forum is better by a long shot compared to Boxden.
As far as Boxden goes it was cool when I first joined it back in 2013, but throughout the last 7 years it has seen a sharp decline in quality. Too many trolls had taken over shortly after I joined. Between them, I've endured the following:
- Undercover white people using slang and throwing out the N-word every other fifth word in a post. (It was really easy to spot these guys, they contributed to the majority of my ignore list)
- People stanning for celebrities they have never met way too damn much (Notable examples being Jay Z, Drake, 50 Cent, and Eminem)
- People openly celebrating fuck shit (Chiraq/Chi-Wire threads as an example, the reign of 69 threads being another.)
- Certain users actively going out to their way to start shit/bait people with inane rhetoric or being contrarian whenever high-profile incidents of police brutalities/riots/protests came up during the 2010s. Alot of these people were racist whites but self-hating Hispanics and coons were also in the mix.
- Super trolls = certain users who have way too much time on their hands, Porcugenes being one of the most infamous. These aliases would sometimes have more than 10,000 posts on the site despite being freshly created accounts.
- Around the time of the 2016 election and the months leading up to it, Boxden was flatout brigaded by white supremacist/Stormfront-esque posters. These fools would openly incite ignorance/MAGA/pro-Trump bullshit. There would not be a day when I would not go through some form of fuckery from these clowns. To this day I have around close to 500 people put on my ignore list simply because I don't want to see any posts from them.
- People whose mission is to post nothing but white women in the "thots/eyecandy" section of the site and try to downplay/shit on black women/other women of color.
- Inaction of site admin (ronnie) and moderators doing anything about the above. In order to get banned permanently from Boxden one had to have been a major pain or actively looking to get terminated.
