Topix was doomed when smartass phones became the norm.
I'll never understand why they didn't make registration mandatory. Many I posted with left after personal info was being posted.
Totally uncool
I so agree.

Totally agree with that. The lack of registration is what killed the place. Not sure whose idea it was not to require registration, but it was a bad one.

It was always like that. The thing that bugs me is when people says "Topix used to be great place to post" and it was always controversial from the beginning. People were fighing and was a bigger jungle in 2010 than it was in the last year. Before I came there they did not post locations for gray boxes as I heard. Topix was sued as early as 2008 for PI problems...

The PI was the thing that used to make me angry. That was what people did when they couldn’t get the best of you. Cookie and her Gang were the worst for that and like I told them, where I was concerned, it never worked. I was there until the end....PI or not.

Many had wanted my email, dared me to come on FB  or some type of identifier in order to silence me but never happened and like you I survived with my initial account intact. I had about 10 of those stupid red letter warnings, just behaved a little while and started back up. Three of those warnings were calling Richie T "Dick" and they came from Kook or Spaci, they never could stand it. I always said if you want to be an azz, make sure your name ain't Richard, that was where "Dick" came from.

I could have wallpapered a room with warnings...LOL. Not sure why I never got banned. They took a lot of my sock accounts, but never messed with my Sundog account.

I got two warnings using "SMF" as well. Used *** in describing her until the heat died down. SMF was permanent from me. Funny thing is I was not the first one to use it, think it was Mark and thought it was funny and went with it.

The mods were really funny in a pathetic way. They knew they couldn’t do anything about gray boxes, so they would inevitably go after the registered posters. In a way, I regret ever registering. It was like they could always hold your account over your head. Gray boxes didn’t have to worry about that and Topix had no recourse if they were using a VPN.

I should post some of the emails I got from Top Mod 8. He or she must surely be in counseling by now.

You should.  Lol, I got a couple of warnings, the last one was about mentioning kids. I replied back well, ya'll let Lackabrain and her girlfriend talk about mine and Lackabrain's kid is an adult and there is no proof that her girlfriend has any kids. I said they have bashed me for adopting so when you remove them I will quit. Lol
