Too bad he didn't keep comments open.
edit: he didn't really "slam" xo. that was merely sensationalism on my part. however, i don't expect him to reach a positive conclusion about this board in his future installments. so stay tuned.
---
http://www.concurringopinions.com/archives/2006/10/xoxohth_civilit_1.html
Xoxohth claims to be the "most prestigious law school admissions discussion board in the world." According to its marketing materials, it controls 70% of the online "market" for "higher education and career discussion", with around 6000 posts a day on various topics. One of its founders reports that the site receives 350,000 to 500,000 unique visitors every month, making it significantly more trafficked than any other law blog, with the exception of Volokh. (By comparison, we get 60-70K unique hits a month.)
But.
Among many legal scholars and administrators, there is a shared impression that discussion at XO is overrun by sexist, racist, anti-semitic, and just plain foolish talk. The well-known Leiter-XO engagement (see here) is just one example, but it isn't alone. Based on correspondence, I have learned that multiple law school deans and assistant deans have dealt with the Board when trying to mediate online disputes involving their school's students. XO has been threatened with legal action (at least twice) involving alleged defamation on the board, although the site is not, to my knowledge, involved in pending litigation. Some wish the entire XO discussion board was a hoax (although others think it may be providing a public service) and some, well, some are mad as hell:
If this is what other lawyers are going to be like, I want out. They make us all look like utter a[*******]. People should avoid law school because it sucks, not because of these jerks.
I've written a bit about the Board before, in the context of a US News citation dispute, and since then, I've been in contact with one of the Board's administrators, Anthony Ciolli, a 3L at Penn Law. I think the board is pretty fascinating, primarily because its anonymity enables, and its format records, discussions among rising lawyers that are frank and heterodox (in legal culture) with respect to race, gender relations, and professional development. It isn't the only forum for such discussions, but it may be the largest.
In subsequent posts, I will be exploring three basic questions about XO.
1. What is it? I will set out the history of the Board, arising from a disaffected group of folks talking at a Princeton Review website. I will then try to get a handle on the actual discussions on XO. As Prof. Leiter pointed out, many posts on XO contain frankly racist and sexist talk. What percentage of the whole? Is the remainder entirely about law school and law firm rankings, and, if not, what else is being discussed? Other questions: who makes up the XO community? what motivates folks to spend time and effort on the various discussions? how is the site governed? how are disputes resolved? how much money does it take in?
2. Is XO Representative of Law Students? I wonder if XO strips away the mask of civility and gives us a view on how rising lawyers think. Law self-imagines as a service profession, at least in part, but posters on XO are significantly more concerned with utilitarian ends (particularly, maximizing prestige). How unique is this community and this view within the general legal profession?
3. Why should we care? Here, I'll take on some of the bigger, normative, questions. In particular, one of the "strengths" of XO is that it isn't moderated, but, that lack of moderation may be correlated with very ugly speech. Does the combination of moderation and anonymity produce net social benefits? That question would seem to turn on alternative fora, and the basic question here is whether law schools are failing to enable frank talk about law firm life and the importance of rankings, if we think that these discussions belong in school. Should law school deans be in the business of trying to shut XO down? Should professors encourage Bar Admissions C&F committees to ask "are you now, or have you ever been . . . " questions?
I think the series of posts will be interesting. I'm gathering data and information from a variety of sources: if you have any special insights about XO, you are free to send them to me via email. (I'm closing comments on this post, on the theory that they are likely to be immoderate. Unless you tell me otherwise, I will assume that I can quote and attribute any emails.)
Look for more in the coming days and weeks.

Really? You've got to learn to read for nuance. These questions are clearly written to set up the answer "no." "Are you now or have you ever been" and "in the business of" suggest that he thinks these reactions are overkill.
"Yes"-slanted questions would be something like "Is there room in the legal universe for a board full of hate and racism?" and "should participation in such a board count against someone for bar admissions purposes?"

One of my biggest disappointments about law school is that it ISN'T like xoxo. I was hoping it would be a bunch of insane racist degenerates, simply because I like to be entertained by lunatics, and given my own problems I could simply hide in the background. Law school has all the douchiness of xoxo but none of the humor or outrageousness.

Alexa is as accurate as those MSNBC online polls that have the libertarian or green candidate winning the Presidential election.
EDIT: Alexa claims that the autoadmit.com domain name got triple the traffic the xoxohth.com domain got in August, when in reality it was the opposite.

sorry for this douche-y post, but i'd just like to point out that unique visitors/=/frequent visitors. i imagine you'd have to visit this board somewhat frequently to really notice rowan or madcat's presence here.
i guess what i'm trying to say is that the board regulars are probably not the quasi-celebrities on college campuses as your post would lead one to believe.

From his website...
"He received his A.B. in English Literature from Washington University, where he was an early selection for Phi Beta Kappa, and his J.D. from Yale Law School. At Yale, Professor Solove won the university-wide scholarly writing Field Prize and served as symposium editor of the Yale Law Journal and as an editor of the Yale Journal of Law & the Humanities. Following law school, Professor Solove clerked for The Honorable Stanley Sporkin, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. After practicing law as an associate at the firm of Arnold & Porter in Washington, D.C., Professor Solove began a second clerkship with The Honorable Pamela Ann Rymer, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit."
So that means he prestige pwns just about everyone here; he's not just talking completely out of his ass.

Tony the Tiger is just a motivational speaker and fitness enthusiast who deals only with children. Total lack of prestige.
Count Chocula is immortal, endorses a cereal that will give you a cavity if you eat more than one serving in a sitting, and rocks ice.

"TIGERPWN3D"
the phrase before the PWN3D canonically refers to the (oft literary or abstract) agent that did the pwn1ng, not the thing that got pwn3d. in this case, writing TIGERPWN3D implies that chocula got pwn3d by the tiger, which seems contrary to your conclusion. hth.

The racism on the board is disturbing and disgusting, but I think few people take it seriously. Most of us wish the racists would just leave.
"Frank and heterodox" sums up the appeal of XO, however. People turn to anonymous professional boards because they want to cut through all the feel-good, everyone's-a-winner crap that obscures the truth about being a "professional" in 2006, when the word's original meaning has been abandoned and cooperation and teamwork have given way to ruthless competition and near-sighted selfishness.

Petro already tackled this subject a long time ago:
XO is a breakaway faction of an old Department of the Interior think-tank message board. The original board was a discussion forum started in 1997, and was used at the time to discuss agriculture, forest management, etc. Over time, it started pulling in people interested in college and law school admissions, because of scholarships offered by the think tank.
Then it got wild.
In-thread image and audio posts were allowed. This was done at first to share visuals on forest projects and things like that. Lots of photos and charts and graphs. But then people started posting pr0n, horse pr0n, tentacle pr0n, reams of r@ygold, 88, and all kinds of shit. It was like every time you opened a link, you were going to get a bunch of 10-year-old naked girls being assfucked with icicles made from the blood of puppies they were forced to strangle. And they were laying on top of the pile of dead puppies.
The moderator, Jeff Adams, wanted to get the board back to its orginal mission, so he banned 90% of the accounts and switched the board to a different format. There was an FBI crackdown, and about 10 regulars were arrested for r@ygold, including :D, but the charges didn't stick.
So, XO was started with the goal of getting back the freedom of the old board, but without all the sick r@ygold.

Really, he does seem to be doing his research here. I'm sure there's going to be some criticism of the board as well, but it's nice to see someone try to understand what's going on before forming an opinion about the place.
