I was only like 350 posts from reaching 30k posts on Topix. I expected that mark, dunno about 40k. As mentioned before I expected topix a Make over not eliminated. The day it happened I suspected legal action took it off and probably a gag order.

It really was. Mods gave up and started lashing out at registered posters.

Hey SD.  :)

About a week before closing, mods thrashed me for calling Richie T "Dick", which was Spaci the klown's doing.

I ran into SMF over at Reddit, was hoping to never run into her again with her phony Australia male schtick...

Imho topix had been on life support for at least the last 2 yrs, viewership dropped drastically, mods enabling trolls to run amok, posting pi and othrt hateful things theres no wonder everyone was leaving in droves. Id been posting around Pete since 2011 and I think he'll agree it was much different then, night and day of what it became in the end...

Hey Weepy...glad to find you here. Was worried that I’d lose contact with you. Saw you on Reddit, but wasn’t sure that was you.

understandable, Weepy was already taken over there as well as my next three choices and went with "Weepist"  would not suprise me if it was someone preventing me from grabbing it. That forum has tons of ex topix posters.Pagan was over there as well she went by "zomerdans" last talked to her Saturday, she may have had her baby by now, she said it was any time.
