im pretty sure alot of people joined the siccness coz open forum was crackin and then spread out to other forums and vice versa...
surely you are joking? people joined this site for the open forum? aint no vice versa this site was built on B.A.R.T. PERIOD. hahahahahahahhahaha thats funnier than mille saying he aint white!
noone even fucked with the siccness when it was 91siccness. junior had b.a.r.t with o,g, m.s. back in the day. bart crashed, 91siccness helped out. it only used to be one forum. 91siccness only. and then the site got 2 forums. so the bart heads had a place to post up while bart was being rebuilt or what have you.
once bart got back on its feet, 91siccness had changed to siccness.net and decided to bully the bart forum, cause THE POWERS THAT BE KNEW THAT IF THE B.A.R.T. FORUM LEFT THE SICCNESS WOULD BE DEAD.
it took too long for bart to recover and now siccness rules the land of bay are hip hop message boards.
all that to say this, it aint no turning back. 50,000 +members need to be held in check at some points. open forum or not. bullshit needs to be tamed. period.
my opinions, sorry for the essay.
