    Too much rap/cultural sauce on all the forums being discussed in here for them to just randomly disappear one day but I guess that's the way of the internet

    Damn they only started in 2011 lol wtf I thought they were always old af like 2002

    i remember reading about their history a long time ago, a lot of their users came from older hip-hop related message boards that shut down such as SOHH but surprisingly some of the more niche ones like siccness and dubcnn are still up, just no one rly posts on them anymore

    In all seriousness we probably need to think about an optional prem subscription like $2/mo

    or a gofundme so i can pick up where i left off with app development earlier this year (TestFlight users said I should do this)

    the reasons for embeds = concerns about performance on some devices etc if there’s a lot. and also they’re used by meta/bytedance to track you - which is why YouTube is just an image until you tap it

    but tbf I guess they could just work like YouTube embeds - maybe w/ a setting to show full embeds by default ?

    Lmao this news got Scott shook and he's actually letting us in on his plans.

    they might have been a bit old fashioned but it was a great plug for all those advance albums from 90s/00s artists

    those were just releases by scene groups that got mirrored and passed around the internet

    advance album leaks used to be really common when CDs were getting pressed months before release especially in the 90s and early 00s but no one really knew about them unless you were tapped in with IRC servers and s*** like that, stuff that was out of the average person's technical know-how

    I remember seeing this Muslim girl on Twitter who had discovered that dudes in the Coli were making threads about her. She seemed weirdly fascinated yet grossed out by the fact that it was a bunch of oldheads.
