I've been on these sites since 2000. The discussion forums always dominated, though sometimes they were mislabeled "Emcee Hookups" or shit like that.

you are telling me that in 2000 people were trolling on text sites? well the circle of sites I was at thankfully never had that element. Emcee Hookups were just that. setting up collabs. the OM style verses would get all the attention and views and responses. you don't remember when text sites had like the six or seven discussion forums? one would be like sports, the other would be music shit like that. no one ever went in there.
I owned and ran a moderately successful text site in 2000 that didn't even have a discussion or emcee hookup forum. it was dwarfed by the sites you named but it had around a 100 loyal members that posted about thirty OM verses a day. we used to all talk through AIM or chat rooms.
ok enough reminiscing fuck you all
