    Oh OP, I've just found your thread. As Geri1965 said the OP went there looking for drugs and got short shrift. The OP thought that as the site allowed swear words she could use it to ask for where to find a drug dealer in France. She used some stupid terminology which some people teased her for. She was asked if she really thought posting on a site for the first time would really get someone to tell her who she could buy drugs from. She was told quite nicely that such a request was (unsurprisingly) against forum rules.

    And then she kicked off and started swearing in every post and generally being completely disgusting in her behaviour, making firky look sane and polite.

    Lol, urban is an acquired taste and not for the faint-hearted :D. But plenty of good peeps there, I've met lots of them. Definitely more of a radical activist nature to the forum than this cosier place and a lot of young people, butr nothing to be afraid of unless you have a particularly delicate disposition.

    No it's a great site populated by lots of brilliant, supportive people, many of whom actually know each other from meeting on the site and firky. It's just a site with it's own ethos, like most sites, and you will either fit in or not. You obviously didn't. Get over it.

    I think Boots must have lent Dub a fiver :D

    I haven't been there for ages (except for when Sam died :( ) but i agree, it is a great site. Do need a thick skin, sense of humour and a massive pinch of salt sometimes tho! Met some sound people as well.

    Still reading your thread OP, I've just gotten to the bit about how you don't trust black people because they are likely to be criminals in a gang. Are you really surprised that didn't go down well anywhere other than Stormfront?

    Urban75 is a shocking place, full of degenerates, I certainly wouldn't let my children or cat post there.

  • I'd like to thank the OP. I had forgotten all about urban75 which I used to enjoy an occasional visit to. Off there now.
