“Topix forums were the best. Bring them back.”

John D.
10/21/21

Topix was, without a doubt, the best site to surf. The Topix forums were the best forums the Internet could have had. It was the place for thorough reviews of a place, posting what kinds of rules a bar, club, or nightlife facility had, what was allowed or not allowed at a particular place, what kind of dress code a place had, the fact that Northern Illinois is no place for guys to even approach within 30 feet or less of any woman, and that any man that approaches within 30 feet or less of any woman in Northern Illinois is in critical danger of being arrested and going to prison, and the fact that, in Northern Illinois, all communications, especially with strangers, are exclusively business-related only, all in the safety of being anonymous so you don't get persecuted. Facebook exposes your full identity, exposing you to full persecution. The city-data forum operates from Pyongyang, North Korea, is owned and managed by Kim Jong-Chul, and adheres very strongly to the Juche and Kim Dynasty philosophies. All other forums including city-data and even Patch require a valid email where they send you a key to activate your account, otherwise you can not post anything. The Topix forums shut down because America has become a sock puppet of North Korea and a nationwide boot camp, a nationwide version of MCRD, where every single person is expected to stay completely out of everyone else's life, be a stranger, stay a stranger, live in complete isolation and division, mind their own business, and stick to their 24 hour hamster wheel schedule all 365 days a year. Get up, have breakfast, go to work, go home, cook dinner, clean, and go to bed. All governed and timed solely and strictly by the rotation of the Earth. To those that shut down the Topix forums, interacting with any other person in a non-business manner, wearing anything other than a heavy gray and black business suit, tie, long black or gray pants, even when it's 110 degrees outside, or even leaving the house except for work, all constitute a capital felony under Federal law.

“Topix Delphi forum”

Throwaway e.
2/5/18

Stay away. There is a forum about the murders of Liberty German and Abigail Williams but all they do is call people sock puppets and Sarah. Absolutely no respect for the murdered kids. There is a poster who will not allow any constructive discussion on the case. Very strange. Be careful you will be attacked and that person will try to get you angry so that they can get you banned. You may be communicating with the killer.

I searched some of cultural lifestyle threads, and all the comments are everything about hating that country and insult people in that country... I read all the stories, they all had many personal stories that seem legit, but had to check the credibilities since all the IDs are seems unregistered, I did not know if they made up stories or one person made clone ids and made a lot of stories... However, I will avoid this site from now all.

This site lets people bash other people and when you defend yourself from the bashers they think it's funny to ban you and you never done anything. Topix sucks don't let your kids on this site either or they will use it to bully other kids. If you see something that is not news or that is more along the lines of gossip report it to topix and have them take it down.

Never in my life have i encountered a website so racist as topix. I got called the n-word among other inflammatory comments made to me. There was also a guy with multiple user accounts pretending to be hundreds of different people. Also, some of my posts and messages were deleted for no reason at all. But the worst i experienced at topix was the disheartening questions other members would post. Finally one day i just couldn't take it anymore, i decided to just leave. Though there was no feature to close my account.

I used to use the Topix blog frequently, but I had trouble with computer slowing down and spam/malware. Google search described some serious problems with Topix ads and pop-ups which may contain malicious code.
I believe several of my devices were damaged after visiting Topix Forum.

Also I had forums removed with no explanation. I tried to do a good job moderating. I never said anything that should have resulted in that action.

I hope they can clean it up and make it a safe and useful site for everyone in the future.

There has never been a worse site ever created on the internet. Topix is a basically unmoderated website that doesn't make its users register for accounts, does not archive old posts and is basically a free for all. Topix claims to be a source for community news yet most forums have zero news in them. Instead it is just an excuse for keyboard cowboys to go in and post people's names and attack one another. The site has ruined many reputations, marriages, businesses, and even in extreme cases lead to suicide. The company, however, never seems to take any responsibility and unlike most other websites it seems to almost encourage poor behavior.

The Topix moderators are as much uninformed bullies as are most of their members. Trolls use the moderators to bully other members and the moderators are only too happy to oblige. The mods are unfair and play favorites. Trolls and their many sock puppets make false reports and Topix acts on the false reports with out investigating if they are true. If you post proof for one of your claims your post will be removed. All the good people leave and you are left with trolls and their sock puppets.

I cannot believe how much bad stuff is on the Topix website. The website does not require user registration which should immediately tell users to stay away. It also contains next to no moderation. Your only option is to go on there and report abuse meaning you are forced to go on their website and that makes them money. In the last few years, Topix traffic has declined quickly, so there are few users left. The ones that did say are primarily "internet trolls" that get a kick out of posting people's names and trashing the person or persons. The community forums are a joke when it comes to "news" as there is very little of it there. It is a site that appeals to cowards who get a kick out of hurting others and any person with morals should have no use for that.

Tip for consumers:
If you are not a coward, avoid using this site and find one where people are respectful and the web company cares at least a little bit about content.

I'm recommending Dr Godday to everyone who have herpes virus to get the cure from him. I was diagnose of genital herpes in 2015 and i have been searching and asking questions to see if i could get something to cure the disease because i did not believe what the doctors say that no cure is found yet. I came across a comment on Youtube and the person testify how she was cured from herpes and hpv after using Dr Godday herbal medicine. I quickly contact Dr email and explain my problem to him and he prepare the herbs and send it to me through courier and gave me instructions on how to use it and tell me to go for checkup after usage which i did after two weeks of taken the herbal medicine and my result was NEGATIVE. I waited another month and retested the result was still NEGATIVE and my doctor told me that am completely free from herpes. Am so happy and grateful to Dr Godday for what he has done for me and i will continue to share this for people out there to know that there is cure for herpes. You can contact Dr Godday on email and WhatsApp to get the cure from him. Email:*******@gmail.com Or Call/What's-app +1{919}*******

This is a site that has no interest in moderating its forum or the content posted. Seriously, it's a magnet for every sociopath, lowlife criminal to post their illiterate comments while hiding behind a false name. Most comments are not only lies, but they are insanely defamatory, cruel and malicious. Why would any reputable company allow such filth to attach to their site for comments. It really has just become a site for trolls to terrorize their victims while ping ponging insults against a business or an individual. Honestly, I pray for the children in this world as it has become a S***HOLE

The WORST forum I ever went to was on Topix and it was for a health problem.
Some jerk created an account with one name and posted bossy and inflammatory posts, criticizing people for what they were asking, why, just really acting like a NUT. Then he (I think it was a he) posted under multiple names, but you could tell it was the same person because of the wording of the rants. Turns out he was booted off another medical site for being a jerk. This forum had people needing to exchange ideas about health issue, so he was a real detriment. Stay away from Topix, that's the best advice I have. A

An absolutely trashy site that's only audience is those who love to gossip, libel, and harm other people. It has no appeal otherwise. There is very little actual news on there, just a group of cowards who post people's names, usually post a bunch of lies, and then try to destroy their reputation and the company justifies it. There is not a worse, moralless, evil site on the internet.

You can post warnings about a certain place. You can post the rules and regulations of any place of business or fun, post what is permitted or prohibited at certain places, post legal advice, even post warnings to guys to avoid women in certain regions, and you won't get banned from Topix. And more often than not, your posts won't get deleted.

I had my first outbreaks and I was tested back in 2010 for both HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both my husband and I tested positive for HSV-1 but negative for HSV-2. Last year I found out my husband was cheating, so I decided to do a retest on all STDs including HSV-1 and HSV-2, only difference is that this time I went to a different clinic. Anyway I tested positive for HSV-1 which I knew I had but surprisingly HSV-2 as well, I was so upset and got divorced with my husband. 3 months ago a friend of mine recommended me to an African herbalist Herbal Dr Idumebolo, I explained everything that I have been passing through all these years to him and he encouraged me that I will be cured completely!. I ordered for his herbal exploit/protocol and used it accordingly to his direction and within 17 days of using the herbal medicine I was cured completely from my HSV-1 and HSV-2. I'm so relieved to say that I've not had even one outbreak and I was tested negative by my doctor. I'm feeling so great! From within and I truly endorse this product, it really works. His herbal medicine is very active and effective. You can contact the herbal doctor on email... *******@gmail.com or WhatsApp him with *******725.

A site that appears to have no interest in moderating it's forums and the content posted on them. A magnet for every bigot worldwide to post their educationally subnormal, semi literate perspectives inciting racial, religious and gender based hatred. Companies choosing to advertising on Topix should declare their position with regard to the site and it's forums or make more responsible advertising choices. I rate it a zero.

I registered there and posted for a few years. Only reason I was there that long was once in a blue moon there would actually be an informative thread (perhaps 1 out of a couple of hundred). The site has always been plagued by libel, racism, and horrid threads in general. Finally got fed up and stopped logging on after very questionable moderating started taking place. The very rare legitimate thread would be deleted while disgusting threads that violate their own ToS were allowed to remain. Some of the most head-scratching moderation I've ever witnessed. Post about criminal activity in a neighborhood or near a school... thread gets deleted. Post about a business you had a bad experience with... thread gets deleted. Start a thread about "___ being a *****" or "why aren't <insert race> run out of town?" and the threads are allowed to remain. The moderators and admins must have some serious issues of their own, either emotionally or mentally. I've never experienced such a deplorable online community. I would give it negative stars if I could.

There is probably not a worse site on the internet. The Topix website which has around 400,000 forums is a place where cowards go to attack one another. The website does not require users to register for accounts before posting which is unfathomable for a so called community news forum to do. The company defends its actions claiming registration and moderation don't really help. In truth, they don't require registration because they show no confidence in their users. They know it is a site of community forums that appeals only to cowards who want to attack one another. Many of the forums contain over 80 percent of the posts libeling and defaming others. In the last two years, however, Topix has lost over half its audience because the good users have been ran off due to Topix refusal to do anything about the content. The website is slowly beginning to die and that is a good thing.

I started here a few months ago and absolutely love it! I always feel welcome by both the staff and the kickboxers... even though, I couldn't do a push up to save my life at first. Everyone is so supportive as you go through your fitness journey. Can't say I'd think I'd be happier anywhere else!

Except maybe in bed in the morning instead of burpee-ing my $#*! off at 7 or 7:45 am!
