I respect your POV, but I really don’t think it’s possible. Are you aware of any other mainstream sites that were born out of or have corresponding underground sites? Keep in mind that an open “porn-free” BGOL has been tried before and it failed. All I remember from it are bullshit Masterbaker threads.

Clearly the audience is there, because I can’t name ONE website that’s TRULY oriented to brothers. Not a single goddamn one! Shit like the Root, VerySmartBros, the Grio or Blavity are geared towards black women, gay black men and intersectional Negroes. Which is why we come here and cobble together our own shit.

Instead of criticizing the Coli and former BGOL members who post there now, we should all be trying to link up and do some higher-level shit.

Just from the members here you're right. That's why it would HAVE to incorporate new members. Can't be limited to just folks here. A community is just a community. For example there are tons of niche specific communities just on YouTube alone. The initial work would be in building it up. Once a solid following builds steam it can grow or at least sustain itself just like a ton of other communities. You would need a home base type of site outside of this forum.

Content would be the biggest obstacle. I could get deeper but I got a few ideas on the burner. Better to show than tell.

I see what you saying tho.

 

[gdatruth]

I've noticed a lot of the members there are big fans of pro wrestling, they complain and bitch about how racist Vince McMahon and most of the ppl in that industry are but still have been supporting them for decades of their lives

wrestling is like smoking cigs
you know its bullshit, you know it aint good for you, you know they selling you a bag of goods

but once you in you in
i have been very conflicted being a black wrestling fan. on numerous occassions i have canceled my subspriction to the WWE network based on how they treat black wrestlers (shout out to SASHA BANKS the GOAT women's wrestler)

but come Wrestlamnia or SummerSlam time

i blame my dad. cause through ups and downs thats the only thing we could always agree on

 

[Texas Catdaddy]

Bitchy? Hit dogs holla. If the board is that bad that you have to leave then why come back? The same shit you are complaining about is here while you are lurking. Shit makea no sense, it's like a woman or man moving out cause they getting abused by their spouse. Then they come back to the house everyday to watch tv and hangout.

Peace,



I tend to like the grimier parts of this site. I’m good with the porn, the pointless arguments are often hilarious to me and I like to have the absolute, ignorant ass freedom to call someone a fag when he’s acting like a fag.

But I don’t really see you and Bills getting down like that. Your prolific porn posting would slow to a crawl over there but you would likely thrive as well (your anti-sickle cell activism, for example, would have gotten a lot more traction).

Having said all that, I prefer this site over the Coli. It’s way too de-fanged and effeminate for me.

Well damn,

I'm going to have to seriously consider this.

Or would have.

 

[Helico-pterFunk]

I heard a lot of folks are on the ONPROBATION forum, also.

Random fact. Back in the day with the BGOL / OP beef, there was a stretch of time in which posting "OP" together got blocked on our board here. Hence having to hyphenate my username. If I recall correctly, "homegrown" (or "stolegrown") was blocked/censored as well, thereby people would often have various funny forms of spelling for that word when requesting quality T&A.

What was your point here? I looked at the last two links and the BGOL connection would seem very weak based on that.

 

[Rembrandt Brown]

A few necessary things:

(1) Leadership
(2) A second offsite platform
(3) A mixture of fresh new blood and new members offline and online locally and nationally or globally.
(4) Keep the same vibe and spirit here but in an open mainstream setting.

BGOL can safely remain what it is and keep it's anonymity. That means it can remain underground. But to do those big mainstream things, which are entirely possible and doable, it will have to be done offsite on a separate platform with different screen names and all that. BGOL will have to be kept at a distance and STAY underground.

The other platform can then be free to blow up like other traditional mainstream websites like Worldstar or whatever. And I KNOW HNIC won't complain. He's been waiting on something like that for years.

Funny to see somebody pitch Brothas and Sistas like ten years later.

Thank You BGOL historian....side note: my BGOL name was going to be "Luker Fo' Life" ...I'm glad I decided against it.

 

[kogalee muhammad]

toss me a screen name, I need back up for when feds run down HNIC.

$25,000 cash. If not then, Nigga. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII aint givin you Nothin!!!!

 

[LSN]

And i saw quite a few bgol threads recycled on there too

you misinterpret me when I say “recycled” I mean they will post threads on thecoli and then recycle them here...for example there was a thread about swedish rap music that a dude posted on thecoli and then turned around and posted again on here

that analogy makes sense to you bcuz you’re “married” to the board...but a better/more accurate analogy is it’s like finding a major supermarket that has a larger/better selection of items but also still going to the mom and pop store bcuz they have niche products that’s kinda hard to get elsewhere

 

[TheDynasty]

That’s hoe shit to not accept new members

Had an incident with a member of 4Chan and white trolls, were protecting the board

This comparison is ridiculous.

Being purposely obtuse won't help bolster your frail argument as the TWO major reasons people moved away had NOTHING to do with the board itself but one persons decision making but you're like 8,000 years old and stuck in your ways so I understand your rabid defense but when we open up registration again, I'll send you out an invite so you can at least see the whole board and make a well constructed opinion.

I'd like an invite too whenever you guys open registration back up.

I didn't know you were-- or anyone was-- such a Walton fan. Was it this season that changed your mind?

i saw some that were on here that ended up there.

But we basically saying the same thing.

 

[Majestic Lion]

Seems like people are missing the obvious here. BGOL’s core draw has been two things:

1. Porn
2. Bootlegged copyrighted material

No way you could ever really scale or go “mainstream” with the above as prominent features, especially as a black-oriented website. If you look at the Coli or even a site like Lipstick Alley, they’re built around hip-hop, sports talk, and celebrity gossip, and expand their memberships and popularity from there.

I think BGOL had, and still has, the ability to be the pre-eminent black male-oriented website out there. We have guys here who can write, do video and podcasts, are into sports, politics, IT, comics, video games, have inside knowledge of show biz, and all kinds of other shit. But the organization simply isn’t there. No has figured out how to carry the BGOL audience to a more mainstream platform. We haven’t even done what the www.negromanosphere.com has accomplished. So couple the porn, bootlegged movies and music and software, lack of organization and direction, with a fear of getting “ocked” and BGOL will forever remain an underground website. Our greatest strength is our greatest weakness.

Every single word of this.

Regarding the bolded, that's been the easiest thing to do since forever: change the name. Grow. Move forward. It's not that hard to see.



You either continue being this guy, and forever limit yourself:

Or be this guy and do whatever you want, and have the potential in the talent pool here pay for itself:

@HNIC ban this nigga Leroy.

Fuck outta here like u don’t fuck canisters

 

[Mrfreddygoodbud]

yea its true what dude said tho, a lot of dudes broke out

once bgol became a paysite...

some folks left because their therapist told them to stay off it..

lol.

I think once hnic opened the boards tho, folks are slowly creepin back.

and waiting for the right thread topic to jump in...

another reason a lot of folks left, is because they werent being taking seriously around here, they may have done or said something in the past that the unforgivin bgol massive wont let live down..

no matter what they say or do, that past will always be bought up...

ecoli is a site where you can talk about personal things and not get laughed or chastised for it..

bgol you say some stupid shit you gonna get called on it with the quickness

and the no fag policy is the best on the net....

I have an account over there. It’s boring to me. It’s like black twitter without the character restriction and I get enough of black twitter on twitter.

The reason BGOL is more entertaining...

Well, take this thread for example.

Random topic about the coli turns into a war between jimmy and gdfolks, shaddy calling for niggus to get banned and instigating shit with side quarrels popping i to and out of existence like electrons.
