No, unfortunately it's not a joke. So far over 30,000 Black (and others) people have joined. The site owner Tyrone, has stated that his goal is to turn the word "N!gga" into something positive for black people.

A common endearing term used by many black people is, "ni99a" not to be confused with a different and offensive term, "ni99er". The word, "ni99a" is in rap songs, daily conversations, on TV, etc. yet the word still has so much mixed emotions attached. One of my intentions is for this word to no longer have such mixed emotions. Part of my intention for this site is for the word ni99a to embody images of brotherhood, and fraternity rather than images of ignorance and hate.
How great would it be, if the mixed emotions that this word carries along with it, were stripped down to something more positive? Only positive.
Of course there are going to be two sides to this, but just know that intentions are noble. So create an account, and start the revolution!

What are your opinions about it? His defense is that it is used by black men and women in the media all the time(rap music specifically). Does that make it okay? Does that legitamize Ni99gaSpace.com? Is saying ni99ga in a verse, equally wrong?
(sigh) what makes it worse is that they used the myspace logo and put bandanas and stuff on there... i'd **** for copyright infringement of the logo... eff that **** **** site...
Better believe it...............
hell me and my cousin took down the **** website back in '98...........it was only down for a week, but it was down none the less
Man..a while back a Racist dude from the **** board came on blackcollegebands.com forum posting all kinds of mess on the board.. We Banned and Banned and Banned him (and all jis Ip's) till he stopped coming back
