We don’t choose to pop back up on Letsbeef because this is where most of us (not including you) spent the last 8-12 years perfecting our craft and contributing our hard word to become great. Leaving ain’t as easy as you think. But when we’re sitting here watching our site die slowly why the new faces say shit like “y’all just gotta be patient”?

i feel your frustration punk. i think it's a good sign we've got noble and hvk and seul, lots of staff dropping in and leaving their thoughts. i think the staff isn't always inspired and i agree we've had to wait for a lot of promises that fall flat. thank you for leaving your thoughts homie.

OTHER MEMBERS CONTRIBUTIN WITH GRAPHICS AN CREATIN SIGS...... MY MAIN POINT IS THA SITE HAS BACKBONE, THA AUDIO SIDE NEEDS MOST OF THA ATTENTION, WE NEED THAT PHONE APP COZ THAT WOULD BE A MAJOR KICK START IMO...

THA DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT BUTTON IS A KILLER THO, SOON AS CERTAIN MEMBERS LOSE CERTAIN BATTLES ITS ''BYE BYE ACCOUNTS'' AN ''BYE BYE BATTLE HISTORY'' WHICH IS LAME AS FUCK..... IF PPL WANT TO BE CONGRATULATED WHEN THEY WIN THEN DUDES NEED TO LEARN TO TAKE DEFEAT....... THA EGO's ON THIS SITE LMAO....

THIS IS THA WRONG TIME OF YEAR FOR ACTIVITY THO, WE'LL SEE WHERE WE ARE ONCE THA NEW YEARS IN FULL SWING....

GOOD THREAD THO CG, IT IS A REPEATED THREAD BUT I CAN SEE YOUR EFFORT HERE.

thanks for taking the time to check this out, and pointing out a lot of what the staff has done. i think a lot of people agree with you that the mobile version of lb is gonna be a big hit. and i'm going to add your idea about getting rid of the delete button. i 100 percent don't see any reason for it to exist.

We once set up a welcome forum that automatically posted a thread every time a new member joins so the community can welcome them. But I think people found it annoying and it may have made it easier for snipers to target new members for easy wins.

Resetting credits has been discussed before, and like someone said, many people voted against it. That doesn't preclude us from having the conversation again and seeing if there is a consensus for it to happen.
This site isn't mobile yet, but you can actually audio battle from your phone right now with the right tools. I recently discovered and tested Puffin browser (https://www.puffin.com) which allows flash recording. To improve quality, they even have condenser microphones for cell phones which one can get for $15 Canadian on Amazon (https://www.amazon.ca/Microphone-Pro...le+phone&psc=1). I'm not necessarily saying we don't need to make the site mobile. I'm just saying if someone wanted to battle from their phone right now, they can do it with the right browser.

There is no such thing as LB "owners." There is only one owner, and that is X, and he's very much involved.
All votes are already hidden on battles.... until you vote. I'm not sure what harm there is in being able to read other expos and ratings after your vote is already cast. It could be educational for a lot of people.
We started out with many different sub forums and a lot got merged into General Talk. What's sub forums would you guys like to see?
I agree that we could use some site promoters. We have a few social media accounts that no one is really looking after. The LB podcast idea sounds good. I'll be glad to help with that in any way I can.

thank you a thousand times for addressing everybody. i'm going to update the post to show your response, and i'm going to respond to everything you said after

"Voting, battling, and sharing LB content on social media more often are all good ideas that everyone can do to help the site"

this i'm sure we can all agree on. we all need to do better. that means all you people who love lb make sure to be much more active when it comes to votes and battles and if you can give shout outs on social media and help promote the site.

"Every new member that signs up gets a welcome p.m. and a welcome email.

But I think people found it annoying and it may have made it easier for snipers to target new members for easy wins."

yeah, so i think having automated responses is fine, but newbies def need some guidance and personal relation. i think mods have a lot of responsibility, so i'll recommend "site greeters" it's a system i learned from allpoetry.com. a group of people that message and say hello to all new users, and comment on all of their first poems. it would translate to lb easy. site greeters would get a special title just like those in the fvc and they would be responsible for guiding new comers and i think it's key to get people to want to stay and evolve and explore everything lb has. and to atone for his sins we could nominate @Bnas to be a potential site greeter. lool.

"Resetting credits has been discussed before, and like someone said, many people voted against it. That doesn't preclude us from having the conversation again and seeing if there is a consensus for it to happen."

i think some people may reject but overall i think this might be needed. i say we get the ball rolling and put it to vote.

"We started out with many different sub forums and a lot got merged into General Talk. What's sub forums would you guys like to see?"

i'll start another thread and find these results for you @NOBLE

"I agree that we could use some site promoters. We have a few social media accounts that no one is really looking after. "

i say we nominate someone (or maybe several people) to be 'site promoters' they would be like fvc and site greeters but they would be responsible for using social media to promote the brand, and trying to recruit people to lb. i'll make a thread and see who'd be willing and qualified.

"The LB podcast idea sounds good. I'll be glad to help with that in any way I can."

i just need to buy a mic and get my set up going. i'll do all the hustling i can to make this a fast process. i'll look for possible co-hosts and a list of names to interview. it would help if we could have a special sticky thread for it and promotion.

thanks again for taking your time to address the people. much love my guy.
