We're getting the registrations, the new members, etc. Thats not an issue and hasn't been for the past idk how many years. The issue is keeping people. We don't have an App, as eth said we have the same design since I guess the site has started, the updates page thats stickied hasn't been touched in 4 years.
I like everyone on the site so don't take this the wrong way at all. But legit no one thats been using this site for all these years is motivated to get shit rolling.
As much as you guys bash my friend over here saying he's negative, only brings bad news, shits on others for trying to "help the site", is he wrong? He's just not gullible enough to believe a conversation that we've been having since V4's first announcement. What I DO notice EVERYTIME that everyone fails to mention is that He supports every sign of an actual update if there's some sort of proof given, not just words typed. For example, look in the thread NOBLE posted. People always claimed it was Eth & I making the site worse yet we've always been present with honest feedback with zero trolling involved if you showed us the proof.
I enjoy being a mod and helping out when someone needs me. At least for those who still enjoy battling and doing things I used to enjoy doing. I dont mind being here for them.
Even when I was all about making site changes, I knew in the back of my mind that if im only a mod and im the hardest worker on here, the site will only go as far as IM able to take it.

Calling me, or you, or Pulse, or whoever else "negative" is like calling those talking about fossil fuels, carbon emissions, climate change etc. "negative". We saw LB being in this state. Even in 2012 when the site was doing good, I still saw the trend. I started ACs to offset that trend. Back then you could pick and choose new members to take in.
Fast forward to 2018 or 19 or whatever and you've got Punk with DedSec who's goal was to bring in anyone on the site who he thinks he can turn into an active invested member.
In 2021? How would you even recruit? There's no one.
It just sucks seeing people want to make changes but just for years and years always look in the wrong places. Yous wanted to push live battling while we wanted to push website improvements. Yous wanted to push more tournaments while we wanted to push prestige. Now I feel like everyone's left and moved to Mars and you guys are the last ones left on Earth FINALLY wanting to make the changes that would have made a dent 6 years ago. Just sucks that it got to this stage and I don't see the small changes we all requested half a decade ago making a difference now.
And for those bitching, a few of us, Phil Banks, Lockhart, Final Word etc. tried really hard to make something happen with Discord last year. Me and Punk started an LB podcast. But every step X stepped on our toes so it was never gonna work.
