To me it was that the community was a lot smaller so everyone pretty much knew everyone. Now I can't keep track of all the personalities and the topics are very repedative.

The majority of the artists left because the classifieds allowed bootlegs at the time (trading CDR's), plus the e banging.

It was closer to 1996. The flows board was cracking. It was small enough that everyone was recognizable. Arists were on the board.

I remember when Lynch, Sicx (before he got locked up), Zigg Zagg, Loki, even Mr. Doctor all used to post on the 91Sicness (thats what it was called back then)

Then we had a guy who kept in contact with X-Raided and used to write to him in prison. He would make a thread where we can ask whatever questions we wanted, then print the thread and send it to X-Raided who would then write back and the letters were posted on the forum.

PS: Anyone remember when they had a special on the 91Siccness on some tv show on one of the tech channels. It talked about how a small underground rap community messege board brings artists and fans together and gives them a place to interact. Zagg, Loki, and Roloc were all on the show talking about the 91Siccness.

Dam'n straight,back then you could recognize,or were familiar with everyone who posted in a thread....it got so pathetic to where you knew where everyone was from w/o even looking at their location.You knew Drawmuh was from San Jose,or Cac was from Flo,or Chief was from Sac,Tooper,Cranky,Gate etc etc.I'll see a name now I don't recognize...and they got 4,000 posts.The BART forum really crashed and burned the last 3 years,atleast when the Sac board got dumb,it was net bangers who could entertain a little.

I think alot of artist left because the community got larger,and there was no more wolf'n cuz you had kats joinin the board who could get the real on'em cuz they were right in their town,or where artists themselves.The tough guy act was over,they got embaressed when people seen'em workin at Denny's,and Tommmy's Pizza ridin in a bucket.Most them kats only had money to drop one album anyway,or as you heard....jacked Roloc to drop albums.That's why we only see the I-Rocc's and Mitchy's post cuz they got nothing to hide from.They livin it.

This board had already gon' mainstream by the time verses were being sold in the sicc shop,that ain't old school shit....He's talkin BMR,Hypermart shit.

ALOT OF THE SAME SHIT IS STILL HAPPENING WHEN I FIRST STARTED OUT HERE AROUND 97. I WAS A MEMBER OF BOTH THE SICCNESS AND BART BEFORE IT MERGED CAUSE NO ONE COULD NO LONGER AFFORD TO TAKE CARE OF IT CAUSE THE SERVER KEPT CRASHING. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE NOW IS THAT THERE'S MORE PEOPLE SO THE ANNOYING SHIT BACK THEN IS JUST MULTIPLIED AND SO IT'S MUCH MORE INTOLERATABLE. SOME OF THE MUFUCKERS FROM THE PAST ARE STILL HERE BUT RARELY POST. I MEAN I SAW DOXX POST IN THE BART. ARTISTWISE, SITES LIKE MYSPACE JUST MADE IT MORE USEFUL TO USE THAN THIS FORUM. THE SITE HAS GROWN ALOT THOUGH AND IT'S MUCH MORE PROFESSIONAL AND A REAL BUSINESS NOW. I DON'T SEE THE THIZZ OR HYPHY SHIT RUINING NOTHING REALLY. BY THE WAY, I'M TYPING IN CAPS CAUSE I AM AT WORK DOING THIS AND I AM TOO LAZY TO GO BACK AND FORTH WHEN DOING MY WORK.

i think iwas just wore out...it wasnt the ppl...but the fact that ive been comiong on here since the fiucking middle ages to where im sick of this site...i used to read a gang of threads and stay on the site for hrs...now i might check it every few days and in 20 minutes im ready to log off.
