Damn nigga, there are millions of threads on this bitch. We've talked about shit til we were blue in the face.
People are still checking in, but niggas got shit to do outside this board, especially in these fucked up times.
Millions of threads yet the front page been the same shit since April![]()

Well put....BGOL ain't no where near a ghost town. The Black Velvet Lounge and Peoples board are ghosts towns. As for everybody from the "good old days". Those who are still alive have matured. There is a lot less trolling and bullshit beef threads on BGOL. Most importantly the board works and the site owner is also a member who interacts. Unlike some other places that haven't been updated or maintained in years.
The board has definitely matured. That's what drove me away 4 or 5 years ago. Feeling like I was trapped in a kindergarten study hall, I bailed. The board was intolerant, juvenile and there was very little presented that had intelligent, enlightening or academic value. Guys beefing with people they created themselves in order to induce more male attention. How goddamned "odd" can a man be? The board is more serious, ... at least much of the time. In that regard I kinda miss my favorite nemesis, Nzinga. He personified some true "assaholean" tendencies, but you had better have been on top of your facts and figures if you chose to engage him in debate. I'm without doubt one of the more polarizing members on the board and much of what I say will offend some, depending on their perspective and persuasion, but for the most part, I'm tolerated and/or ignored now. I'm 70 years in the making. I'm who and what I am, and there is no time or desire for a change. Everyone has the choice to ignore those they wish not to hear from. Only one, so far, has attacked the memory of my mother because he resented my opinions or my right to hold and voice them. Freedom of religion includes, by nature and design, freedom FROM religion! Not everyone knows or respects that. I hope the board survives and continues to become more educational and enlightening. As MLK said, "I may not get there with you" but as a race we need that. We need to elevate. We were denied over 300 years of societal and educational progress that the rest of the world enjoyed without us, and we are ANYTHING BUT in lockstep with the rest of the world. We are trailing and generally deficient and uncompetitive in so many regards. We need the debates and openness to welcome an array of differing opinions because that, in essence, mimics a microcosm of the world itself. You'll have to be inclusive of all kinds in your everyday affairs, now more than ever, and in your professions, so you may as well get used to those circumstances and occurrences here.

It's like a senior community now......lol Most of us are 40+ that contribute regularly.
I agree there is less engagement than in previous years, but a lot of that engagement was beefs and bullshit ( which could be funny at times )
It's mostly the same cats that comment and react to posts. Like we are all getting together every now and then to play Bingo and eat some green jello together and talk about the big booty nurses.
Still fun and I get lots of laughs from the site.

So, I'd imagine a book would be TOTALLY out of the question. We're better than that, ... I hope.

Thread has begun its path to derailment

This is the equivalent of people refusing to vote, but complaining about the election results.
