Topix had great potential...the boy squandered the opportunity. This place...IMO doesn't have that potential...that exposure.


Without love in your life...you have nothing.
Then leave if you don't like it.

You are right! I made a few friends on topix but this place has less drama.


I don’t care for that much drama either, so perhaps this will be something memorable to everyone.

Sure, it has glitches and such, but it will get better with time.

I also read that the commercials there were high jacked and would redirect you to a fictional site that would load spyware on your computer or smartphone.

Just a sad place to be, I guess.

No, Topix closed the doors and forced everyone out. I never left the place, nor did most of my friends.

Oh... sorry to hear that. But you are reunited with some of those friends here I’m guessing? So in a way, you and those friends are still in communication and that helps in a way.

I do wish everyone here the best experience with old and new friends.

I'm not really worried about exposure and will be happy if we get 50 members
who can half way get along with each other.

You would think that they would have the decency to notify the lot, but not all will be so nice.

No doubt that decision was made from the owners.

From what I’ve been reading, it does read like it was getting ridiculous.

Couldn’t agree more, Pete.
Must’ve been loads of turmoil.

I think from what I heard that there was a lawsuit coming down the channels to Chris Tolles. I think Pete has started a great site where we can post about a variety of things.

I do enjoy this more than Topix and I think that’s because it seems like more of a “controlled” atmosphere.


Oh, god forbid! Don't allow others to control the direction of your life.

Well that is in no way what I meant, but if you need to see it that way, that’s fine.

From what I’ve read I fear that Topix was a terrible place with far too much sock puppetry and grey boxes that promoted lots of dishonesty. So maybe it makes for a better place here? Idk.

I really can’t compare without the experience. But I do think that this place has a nice atmosphere, and with good people, comes good friends.
Just my opinion.

There were just people who wanted to create discord and drama over everything. If I said my air conditioning wasn’t working there would be 25 pages of drama over that. If PL said she was going shopping, the trolls would erupt with a drama fest. There was no way to have a decent conversation there....at least not where we were posting.

Yeah and they would bitch if I was on there and bitch when i wasn't.  If I stated I was going shopping and something changed they would whine.

What I should have said is that Topix was out of control because they couldn’t do anything about people whose only goal was to disrupt others.

But it’s really not that important. I know what I meant.

It had gotten old, stale, and out of control. It was time for it to go.
