“I started here a few months ago and absolutely love...”

Anita K.
10/21/14

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!

“BAD”

DANIEL R.
9/30/24

Investing is quite easy, but you don't get much of your money back, to the point that you start to question the legitimacy of the website. The phone is 'no longer functioning' and the personal advisor stops being available. Email correspondence is very slow, additional procedures that I was not aware of before emerging and requiring further costs are still unresolved until TONELIMITED comes in and expeditiously gets my refund for me, but overall, I have had a very disappointing experience.

Despite fulfilling all required tax duties, my withdrawal request continues to be refused, indicating fraudulent behavior. I have come to the realization that I am being scammed. Thankfully, I s()ught assistance fr()m S_P_A_C_E_T_E_L-C_A_P_I_T_A_L, who assessed and res()lved the situation promptly.

I heard about this website from a co-worker. Out of curiosity I looked and was totally disgusted! I think it should be removed totally. It will eventually, if not already, destroy lives and families. Apparently there are no guidelines or restrictions. The people who "vent" for lack of a better word are hell bent on taking someone down regardless of who it hurts. I can see children and family members of the subject being brought into things that is beyond their control and tearing them apart just from what others will say to them. Please stay away from this site. It is slander and defamation of character in most instances. Put them out of business.

This site is horrible. Full of racist, sexist & dangerous people. I never bother to log in anymore because I was once threatened by a middle-aged man cause I refused to give him my email address. This forum has no supervision at all... everyone can comment freely and explicitly, especially in the human sexuality forum... I thought I can do some intelligent discussions about sexual health but NO! Lots of perverts lurking there... Stay away from this site!

This website is nothing more than a place for slander. It has so far caused one of our citizens to commit suicide. It has degraded families, individuals ruined peoples jobs, torn apart families and caused so much mental stress on people. It really needs to be shut down before it can do anymore damage. The administrators don't have enough moderators and they simply overlook the trash on there as long as they are making money.

If YouTube is the eyes and ears of the internet, Topix would be the rectum and lower intestines. 100% of the people who have ever posted on this website deserve to burn in Hell. On second thought, these Topix members are so retched not even Beelzebub himself would want sick, degenerate lunatics like them dwelling within his domain. You will be dumbstruck at how horribly sexist, racist, misanthropic and evil this website is, it deserves to be deleted from the internet and the memories of all human beings. If you want to get a nice, unhealthy dose of suicidal thoughts, venture over into Topix and click on any of the discussions.

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

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 have never encountered a worst site on the internet and it is so easily accessible which should concern people greatly. The forums contain graphic language, things promoting prostitution, the selling of illegal weapons and drugs, and assaults on people's character. I cannot get over how bad many of the forums are and apparently more and more media are reporting on this dangerous site. There should be some kind of restrictions placed because what they allow on there isn't exactly first amendment stuff some of it is illegal as all get out.

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.

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 think the information that came out about Wikileaks is a perfect example of why there has to be some internet reform. When people's lives are in danger then the first amendment does not apply. Topix has proven to be a danger to people with death threats, sexual predators, attacks on children and that makes it dangerous. There is a difference between freedom of speech and what Topix is.

Topix recently changed its terms of service to make them even more vague. Basically the company has admitted they plan to do nothing about the vast bullying and criminal behavior of that site. Topix gets worse by the day.

Imo Topix, like many other forums, protect certain products.

Topix ghosted some of my posts.

Also. A lot of mis information posted at Topix

Use Google Books or Amazon reviews of Verified Purchasers instead... to get product reviews

This company continues to allow lives to be destroyed. There is so much racism, hate, attacks on children, sexism it is ridiculous. That is what happens when you don't have any real rules. Wonder how many lives have been destroyed in 2010 (as the new year approaches) and how many more will be in 2011. There is no defending this site.

Everyone who has reviewed so far has pretty much said it all. Topix.com seems to promote shameless cyberbullying, racism, sexual harassment, and ignorance. The forum comments are rarely, if ever, moderated. Please consider an alternative.

I have never seen a more disgraceful and distasteful site. There is so much cyberbullying and you can forget about any real moderation and they don't even make users register for an account before posting. In my area Topix is really bad and upon checking some other areas, theirs is even worse. With all the suicides going on someone has to get control of this stuff and I heard Topix is now adding a political site where there is no doubt going to be bashing of politicians families which should not be fair game. I have also read disturbing comments from Topix management justifying the harm of others. Avoid Topix at all cost.

Full of obscene, unsavory comments posted by racists, those seeking pornography, are lacking any education and seem to all come from areas in rural W. Virginia and Mississippi. No point to it other serving as a forum for uneducated haters/those looking for pornography.

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.

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.

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.
