Some of the individual members are decent people but there is a lot of unchecked racism allowed to run rampant on the site. Truthfully its racist af.
I wish I could recommend this place. I want to. But I cannot in good conscience do so.
Love this place. I have been banned before on this site but wanted to try and blend in properly with like minded individuals.
I believe if you put the work in to prevent acting like a $#*!head on the forum you gain respect.
Now that forum is being sold.
Full of Catfish and perverts.
They take your money then ban for no reason.
AVOID!
Welcome to the social media of Tomorrow where you will find and hangout with the kind of netizens who enjoy the use of excellent thread manners. HipForums is more than just a forum. It is a place where one can expect a warm contagious smile every day. The internet has been a rather cruel place but it is still very new. Websites like HF are evolutionary. They have heart!
I've been on here for less than a year. In spite of running into a few $#*!s, I have met a lot of genuinely nice people from all across the globe. Some I have become very close with. They made me feel welcome from the beginning and brought me up to speed on how things work. The chat room is a little hit or miss, but that's ok. There are a few threads that I follow. We exchange thoughts, ideas, local customs and we share a lot of laughs.
I think the mods do as good of a job as can be expected controling spam and trouble makers. I feel free to present my opinions without the fear of sensorship like you find on Facebook. Drama exists here, just like any social media site, but I think it's minimal.
Hell, even my dog is famous on here! Hahaha!
I ain't going anywhere any time soon.
Once you enter, you won't be the same, ever again.
Be sure to bring extra clothes, plenty of water, and don't look back.
I use to post a lot on Hip Forums. Still do a bit. I came back not to long ago to a crowd much different than before. I wasnt back for a week or so when I got banned. I didnt remember what Id said but I thought maybe this was a mistake. I managed to get the help of one the moderator to get me back in. Wasnt soon after that. Felt like I was being stalked. And when Id comment back to him he/she would report me as harassing. Ive never harassed anyone. It was this person harassing me. I guess because they gave some money to have feature there its ok. Theys a troll. I use to enjoy Hipforms. Im not perfect, but I dont chase posters around the site stalking them. How they get away with it? Ever was like that before. Id tell a moderator but I dont want banning me again. Because now I dont trust them either I feel like I cant even post there under any name. Im gong to save 50$ and then but dont have much may I can have th e feature to ignore that person egnland that keeps chasing me around. I really thougt my weed was getting me parinaod but its true and them poof my post vanished again just as I was making this thanks girls for showing me this page i think we all should make a rewveiw
Another social media pit, full of an in-crowd who jumps newbies. A lot of what seem to be the usual pack of either Russian or USA white-right disruptors who pounce on anyone opposed to racism or Trump. The façade of "hippies" is not reflected in the pool of posters, who are nearly all too young to have been hippies, and engaged in all the usual social-media pathologies.
The premise of this forum is fake, and it is being run by misfits. I in fact am notifying the appropriate Congressional offices who are investigating white-right and Russki presence on social media.
I found this forum years ago and thought it a bit of fun, especially when single. But it wasn't long until I realised that free speech didn't come free.
You CANNOT delete a thread you've created. Once a thread exists, it exists forever. And, more worryingly, you CANNOT delete your account. Once they have you and your data, you're in for LIFE. Do NOT sign up.
The whole forum is full of trolls who ultimately just make you feel terrible about yourself. But because it's "free speech" the trolls are not reprimanded and much of the forum is a cesspit of human diatribe. You're better off making an anon Twitter account, frankly.
Owner puts up fake reviews. Check out the ones below. They all read like the work of a failed Marketing Studies student. Not reviews, they are adverts of course! The negative reviews are accurate. I can't comment on any recent suicide, but there have been lots of suicidal users there over the years. Its a den of mental defectives, drug addicts and dealers, alcoholics, trailer trash hillbillies, racial supremacists, sexual perverts, trannies and child groomers ie pedophiles. The lame $#*! phrase they use is "rainbow family". Normal people just use the word "weirdos". I know people who checked by near eniough 20 years or so (God knows why). The biggest wackos tend to be the owners and the so called "super mods", who'll basically let anything in... until it exposes them! Example, one of many, Soaring Eagle a pedo who promised to make kids into pop stars. 70% of the forum regulars said he should be banned. Owners response? Bans 70% of the regulars Lame $#*! site never really recovered from that. Smallish number of people there who are ok, but tend to leave quite soon. But the culture of the place is real creepy. Free speech? LMAO! Anyone who even asks why someone is banned gets automatically banned. The most noticeable feature of the place is how many people there seem to be plagued with mental and physical illlness. Just ask the right regulars by pm or check the site.
LSD can make existing mental health issues worse or cause latent mental disorders to emerge. 2
Underlying mental disorders usually increases a user's vulnerability
To long-term psychological conditions. However, even those individuals
Who do not exhibit any sign of psychological irregularities prior to use
May experience psychological issues after taking LSD. A couple such
Conditions include:
Psychosis, (HPPD or hallucinatory "flashbacks") and Trolling for attention.
Key members of the forums bullied this poor guy until he killed himself, then to avoid any responsibility for facilitating this bullying they simply cleaned the site of everything he posted and pretended that it never happened.
There is still a pedophile who is a key member.
Beachbum86 and EloiseAtThePlaza had been stalking this guy in real life and then used the forum to bully him.
The site should be shut down and it's owners out in prison!
We are looking into a lawsuit after the funeral.
I have been a member of Hip Forums for over 20 years. Hip Forums is a free speech site that accepts members from around the world and includes individuals from all adult age groups without regard for race, religion, sexual preference, political leanings, nationality, or personal views.

Spam, illegal drug trafficking, hate speech, pornography, copyright infringement, abusive or threatening language, and/or other derogatory or illegal behavior is not permitted. Most infractions are reported by other members and then investigated by the moderation team.
No member has ever been banned for political or personal views unless they have violated one of the conditions presented above.
Any member, moderator, or staff member may be privately consulted at any time. The software used, XenForo, does not allow the viewing of private conversations between members, staff, or anyone else without consent.
Currently I am on the moderation staff. I invite anyone to visit the site and form their own opinion. While there you can look around, or sign in and post messages or privately talk to any member or staff member about any concerns you may have...
I've been a member of The Hip Forums for 2 years. On almost a daily basis, It's the only forum I visit and participate in. I've read hundreds of hours of discussions and have only just scratched the surface with the many topics and threads.
There's a topic and discussion for everyone. Tons of music and movie clip videos to watch/review. The widest range of political and current news threads constantly being added and debated daily. Writers and poets have ample space to convey their stories and poems. Blogs can easily be posted for all to read. Food discussions from across the globe will tantalize any taste buds. If your into travel, rest assured The Hip Forums' vast domestic and international community can help guide you from conversations and pictures to the best places to visit, so your not saying that you should have taken that left turn in Albuquerque. If staying in your humble abode is more your comfort and you'd rather drink/smoke the night away, visit the alcohol, coffee/tea, smoking discussions. With seasons constantly changing and wildlife moving, The Hip Forums community provides some of the most breathtaking pictorial moments of mother nature second to none in the vast media room and picture topics.
Having a diverse domestic and international membership, The Hip Forums is constantly buzzing with activity on endless time zones, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
New members are always greeted and welcomed. Site navigation is easy and fun to experience with plenty of filters to customize and personalize your own Hip Forums log in page. You can create/upload your own avatar, signature, profile status, likes and interests so connecting with like minded people is a snap.
The Hip Forums has a chat room that members can chat openly, or have a one on one private room chat or even create their own multiple member chat room group.
Upon my first day joining The Hip Forums, I never would have imagined the special connections and true friendships that I've made in the short time being there. I've observed other newer members adding to the community and making friendships that will seem to last a lifetime for them as well. You never know with every new day what next interesting and hip thing will be posted on The Hip Forums.
Stop in, visit, and be welcomed at The Hip Forums.
Enjoy your stay.
Excellent subforums on loads of different topics. A wide range of conversation and welcoming people. Feels like a little festival on the internet.
ROFLAO about the fake reviews from the owners.
Hipforums is well know as d-bag land. The pedo scandal was well known as are the others. Jo J, Bill B, FB and others are bang on the moneys. It used to be really popular even if users just kinda tolerated pyscho owner Skipper. But he got even further up his own $#*! and now the place is a slow trickle. Of diarrhea! Message to tha kiddies - stay away! Especially from someone called Soaring Eagles.
If you want to scream into an echo chamber, this place isn't for you. If you don't want people challenging your small-mindedness, this place isn't for you. If you think free speech applies to you, and to you alone, this place is not for you.
If you're a logical, rational, adult with something to contribute, you are welcome. It's like interacting with people in any situation: if you're a jerk you will be found out and ostricized. If you're cool, everyone else will be too. Thanks people complaining about this site broke the rules and then felt mistreated when they were held accountable for that.
It's incomprehensible that people find enough time to write indecencies about a website that IS the last free speech forum on earth. I've been a consistent member since the late 90's when the forum was just getting started.
Today, as a moderator of that forum, I can attest that NO paedophilia or "illegal" activity happens. In fact, while we DO allow conversation to occur without interference (unless that conversation breaks laws), we are judicious about removing content that is unsuitable for minors.
Several reviews we've found on SJ are from "temporary" members who like to use our forum for link building. They are baseless, without merit and lack any formal evidence.
We welcome ALL to our forum with love and light.
... the actual site owner has lost interest and upper management has zero clue about day to day discussions about how the site has become candy-assed... btw ''candy-assed'' is the term that got me banned and my 1000 family and life photo collection stored on the site was deleted... some photos of my dead father that I don't have copies of because of a house fire... unfortunately even if they restore me I wouldn't go back except to copy my photos...
Karma will get you in the end
Openly allowed a paedophile to operate as a key member (promised little girls music careers). Owner banned about 4 DOZEN of the main users who objected to this. Racist abuse allowed if you are a mod. Current moderators are extreme feminist SJWs who ban anyone who disagrees with their politics/LGBT miltancy. Private messages are spied on. If this place allows "free speech" then I am a tin opener! Yes paedophilia and the promotion of suicide are allowed. The promotion of hard drugs like heroin is allowed. It also allows a Nazi lesbian (yeah you read right!) to promote Nazism and holocaust denial. Add in some cool people (who unsurprisingly usually give up sooner rather than later) and a variety of drug addicts, perverts, scammers, nutjobs and weirdos and thats the creepy world of Hipforums.
Answer: It's a nest of misfits there. Likely one of the regs didn't like you for whatever reason. Many of those posting, and the management, on that forum seem to be nutcases.
Answer: Many members do. Some do not. Moderators tend to censor posts that do not meet with their own agenda.
Answer: The people running that forum are not sane. It's all fake. Not about hippies, just another sick social-media nest of snakes. Don't take it personally... I didn't
