#1 I didn't close that thread so vamoose
#2 Do you actually disagree? If tomorrow Psuedo came by and upgraded the site, newest vBulletin version, new battling / voting system, etc. would that actually fix our low activity?
#3 I'm not satisfied w/ the current state of LB and I never have been, I've been questioning Staff since I got here (2006) before I was on Staff originally (2007) and have ever since then. I've dropped more complaints before you ever got here (2009) then YOU have up to now (You think I'm annoying now you should've seen me back then lol ask EtH or Odin)
#4.5 The point of asking you to vote was so 5 & a half people would be voting, not the same 4.5  (Oh look emoji's work)
#5 I recently brought back the LBT to GROW our userbase and we've had 25 quality battles (so far) along with retaining new-er members who a year ago weren't around. Also introduced Rookie of the Month (to keep new members) Bonus Matches & integrated One Bar King (to keep existing members / incentivize them w/ additional interchangeable monthly titles) I've also handed out numerous Awards & Emcee Items, kept the Stats section alive, deleted SPAM, etc. which is ALL things YOU could've done as a Staff member yet you chose to complain and expected to get promoted 
#6 I already answered your Blue / Red question, I said "Vote so we keep new members around" and you said "People are leaving because battles don't close", how do you we close battles? We VOTE
#7 I've personally voted on 70+ battles since September, last time you vote Audio was more then a year ago (10/31/2020) and before that it was 4 months previous (6/8/2020) Text was slightly better (10/11/2020) before that (9/23/2020) Sorry :o #'s don't lie
#8 In conclusion, this isn't rocket science, I encourage people to vote because it does help, close battles / feedback / member retention, etc. Odin & I are doing everything in our very limited power to keep this place alive because we've been here so long / actually care about LB but we can only do so much, we know it's up to the Community whether this place is alive or not, not who's in charge atm (No offense @Psuedo Nim) and while I love the forums / talking shit, it's Votes that close battles and crown Champions  |
Alright you kept it peaceful so I can't be an ass here
But yall been telling people to vote for years. Nah it dont work because it's the same people voting on these battles. If Student got 4 open battles, im gonna get tired of reading your shit and lose motivation to constantly click on them.
We aren't getting new members because we are outdated. It's 2021, people are using apps, video, easy to use shit. For example, check out the app called BattleMe in both play stores. They're active asf because it's easy asf to use.
Last year, discord was wayyyy more active than the site and yall said "discord is killing LB" no, LB was already dead for 1, for 2, discord is easy to use and that's literally where everyone battles because it's so simple and mobile friendly. Even had guys like Phil Banks, Godbody, Final Word, etc come out of retirement.
So ya, us voting more on LB ain't doing a damn thing. Yall even though removing the chat box because people used it more would help. lol ya let's remove the things the site likes and try to FORCE them to do shit when they don't have to.
All I'm saying is, if that's not prime example of why the place needs to be more 2021 ish, idk what to tell yall.
