Topix.net Weblog: Topix becomes #1 news site of Gannett, Tribun...

In March of 2005, we received investment from the three largest newspaper companies in the US, Gannett, Tribune and Knight Ridder.

Congratulations, Chris! Well earned, and a nice confirmation of your vision. I'm sure it wasn't easy working the "slow build" and long-tail grassroots angle, when everyone else was seeking the head. It's great to see some positive signs of growth and sound business strategy getting payoff in the News sector. Keep up the great work.

With trolls like Phester O Boyle (btw he is Susan Boyle's secret husband) and Inbred Genius, no wonder you got audience. Keep up the good work!

Topix is a hate speech delivery system. You are making money because there are so many haters that want to vent. You should read it sometime.

[Cyclops Rex]

Celebrity trolls!

I love it.

No. Not yet, but is should be coming.

Sure, if you can brag about being the National Inquirer of the internet, way to go.

"Yellow Journalism" at its finest, complete with sexual harassment, slander, gossip, lies, cyberbullying, cyberstalking and downright hateful and malicious posting. And no reliable or responsible monitoring but click value which converts to dollar signs.

Congratulations.

I see few people starting threads and getting answers from anyone. It seems if it isn't from some news agency, it's not wanted. That seems strange to me.

Excellent post!

Yes it looks like you did get banned Rose.:)

I know your story inside and out.

People without the intellectual ability to debate resort to simplistic rants and inflammatory lies used to incite, these many posers do nothing to encourage debate. Freedom of speech does not give a person the right to intentionally spew lies and innuendo. If these individuals I speak of were not hiding behind the anonymity of the internet they would possibly be sued or at the very least end up with a bloody nose.

Sadly TOPIX does little to monitor and enforce a few simple rules of decorum that would allow for a better discussion of the topic at hand. It would improve the site and the people that visit and post on the forums tremendously if they did.

The newspaper companies are doing very badly because they print bird cage liner. But I had no idea they were doing this badly.

Failure, like death, is cleansing. Let us grieve for the press, a once proud tradition and a once honorable profession.

DIE MOFO.........DIE!!!!!!!

Most of the posts on Topix are in esoteric forums like Human Sexuality, and Knitting, and Homosexuality, and Quit Smoking and, Hoeing the Garden, ad infinitum, etcetera......... Less than 1% of Topix Posts are politically generated. Even Top Stories gets very few crazies.
