Welcome To Topix Too Forum

Agreed. That place was full of very toxic people that didn’t need to be there. They put the forum into ruins.

That place was toxic from the beginning, many of those incidents stem from the late 2000's and  early 2010's. It started falling around 2013-14 as Facebook got more popular and people were tired of the place. I was there almost  a decade, I could talk well and defend myself to the point noone could run me off....

In Corbin Ky.forum, Tristan Hall posting as "Series as a Heart Attack" offered 5,000$ for someone to kill local radio personality Melissa Hall. Cops tracked her IP down and arrested her.
  She spent 570 days in a detention center and home confinement. When the charges were dropped she sued the cops. Right at that time Topix took itself down. Thinking they were next to be sued,I don't know. But the timing was highly convenient. There were other cases of members suing each other, and complaints that Topix did nothing to protect it's users from the psychos it's anonymity attracted. I think this last drama occurred in 2018. That's what I found on Google anyway.There were rumors of suicides occurring from Topix posts. But I can't confirm that. The forum I was on was incredibly vicious.
 

Got it. You just don’t know.


A big old fat nothing burger.

I think you’re right. That place was terrible when I arrived at about 2015. I started on the human sexuality forum which was probably one of the most popular forums on Topix. But I didn’t stay for very long.
People there were rude, nasty, hateful, spiteful, with some of the worst scumbags of any other forum you could find; and I didn’t really like all the pretense people came with when many like myself just wanted friends or someone to have good conversations with, which was few and far between. Many got ran off, or left altogether because of all the trolls there. That’s where that nice lady NorCalNative came and asked if I’d like to join her on her forum for conversations, games and the like. I joined her and some other's there and managed to mingle my way around to a couple other’s when invited.

I don’t normally like confrontations, but I’ve learned from a few friends on how to defend myself without any real damage to either party as a whole: and a couple I leaned this from was on the Old Topix. They were good people while some other’s just liked getting to anyone they could, and just for the sake of arguments. It was way too ridiculous for my liking, and at the time I couldn’t really defined myself very well and took lessons from a couple who I still hold much respect and admiration for. My per usual stance was to just back off and come back later. But that didn’t work as well as I hoped on that site of venomous vipers you had to put up with on a day to day basis. So I ended up going to just a few forums that were actually moderated where I could spend some time with friends there who I actually got along with. Very good people that I’m glad to call my friends.

So not all of Topix was overrun with trolls because I had some really good conversations there and I wish some of them would come here. They are good people that I get to know some of them through PM. And I’ve told you about one of them in particular who also, like yourself, could handle himself very well on that forum. lol!

Oh, and did I say that’s where I found the love of my life? 😁

I will respond later but I did know NorCal Native, we were friends and sad she passed away a few years back. I have been to her forum but not much....

“The forum I was on was incredibly vicious.”


So typical and why I don’t like you. You’re so full of yourself.

If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.

Self-righteous. Judgmental.
  You should turn that merciless eye of judgment upon yourself sometime.

Glad you looked into it more closely with an unprejudiced eye.

Are you really? I doubt that.

You should’ve stayed out of my PM while posting with brain fog.

I have blackouts. Nothing I can do about that. But I think I can fix it on the message thing..

Well aren’t you all chatty today?

The blackouts are connected to my heart problem.Which they assure me they can fix with open heart surgery in May. A graft in my upper thoracic aneurysm.
