Well considering that X was going to close the site, and ended up giving it to Pseudo and Pugz instead, I don't think nostalgia is THAT strong a motivation.

Every time I talked to X, he told me he isn't doing this for profit. That was his mistake. You don't put your all into changing something if you have no gain out of it. Nostalgia? X hasn't battled, made a crew or voted since 2007, how nostalgic is he really going to be?

I've always liked the idea of someone buying it. X did solid on his return, but now it's very evident that "the new site" is LB v5 version 3, it's not coming and it's not actively being worked on.

RULE was my pick at the time. Guy cares about LB, but is adult enough to treat it like an actual investment for himself and his family. Me and RULE talked a lot about advertising and he had a lot of avenues he wanted to approach about it. The fact LB hasn't been advertised since 2006 is insanity.

A site needs about 400 unique views a day to be able to add adverts to it (and remember, X is deliberately handing away 1/4 if his potential profits by advertising BeatDisk, a website he started and stopped running about 7 years ago. LB gets more than enough unique views, the problem would simply be that the hosting is expensive (although a good chunk of it could have been paid off when everyone was making donations, unfortunately it only paid for Pugz' pretend rap battle host career).
