Here's an Idea
So apparently we're never getting V4 and the problem seems to be a lack of funds
How about ya'll add 'microtransactions' ? Add a LB currency feature, or let people use real currency to purchase things like credits & emcee items
ya'll already did the shit in a way by letting people purchase custom user titles
why not take it a step further..and this comes at no cost to the site because they're not selling a physical product that requires ya'll to take inventory and ship it overseas..its digital
ya'll can pop 100,000,000 credits outta thin air or 100,000,000 emcee items outta thin air
maybe ya'll could sell stickies too where someone can pay for their thread to be stickied for X amount of days or different colored thread titles so ppls threads stand out...i seen other sites do shit like this and the owners makin bread so im jus throwin that out there
mainly because a nigga could use some credits and i cant be fucked votin

I encourage anyone in charge to log onto MMATycoon.com and take infuence from their money system.
This is a MMA management game. In game, they have money for fight promotions, nutritian companies, gyms, clothing companies etc. which all help in other aspects of the game. Through each company is the potential to improve on your money. Money is also earned through fight contracts, win bonuses etc. and is spent on training / supplies.
Members write reviews for each other's promotions, make graphics for each other's promotions, make avatars for each other etc. in exchange for in game money. There is a monthly in game newspaper which features the best articles and the people featured on it get paid extra.
As well as this, almost every member on the site is VIP. This is actually fairly expensive, but people playing the game will exchange your in game money in return for buying you VIP.
Lastly is the Spin to Win thing. Basicall roulette, People earn credits for spins by voting on "Top 10" websites for MMATycoon, and it's all linked together.
The above alone should show the capacity a website has to make some serious money, and by making the users be the ones to do all the work in exchange for website services.
I've also been saying, to no response, that if we added a donation hack and had a goal attatched to it for what that specific donation is going to, then when we hit the top we can give the money to Pseudo and he does the coding. That way, it's in OUR hands to fix the website, and leaves Pugz with no accountability.
I also offered to try and work on the LB skin this week, and never got the PM with the dimensions. We need to be taking advantage of these oppertunities. Dudes like and and Pulse have the ideas and all you guys have to do is LISTEN and pull your finger out. We don't just want LB to not die for a little bit longer, cause it IS dying, we want LB to be better than it ever was before.

This is actually an outstanding idea marketing wise, micro-transactions are the leading revenue generator in almost every MMO game in existence. [Citation needed] (just google it faggots)
i love the sticky idea, and I'm sure as new things are added even more can be added to this. Unless Pugz just generally dislikes the idea for some random reason, he'd be stupid to add this imo.

Having a currency system really isn't a good idea at this stage. Shit needs fixing first. Thats priority. Get everything working then you can implement all this other shit and promotion.

Yeah we've been saying forever that a donation mod w/ a goal would be dope...especially @ Dave
All you would need is a goal and have someone code a bar that shows how close the site is to the goal
When the site reaches the goal grant everyone an emcee item or w/e the fuck...no @ Dean I could care less about emcee items I just thought of it because I have an itch to battle at times and dont wanna waste my credits because that usually means I have to listen to 3 battles (or 6 minutes of shitty niggas rapping) & my time is valuable B..I'd rather buy credits....thats what money usually does...it buys you convenience
& @ Just C a microtransaction system is exactly where they'll get the funds needed to fix the shit thats broken
it always come back to "oh the original coders arent around and we're stuck with pseudonym"
you don't need the original coders or pseudo...money talks. Freelancer sites are out there. You can ask for a job, tell them the kind of coding required, and a ton of people with expertise in that field can bid on the job meaning you can pick who you think will do the best job at the best price for you

If fixing the site isn't about funds explain why the site has been the same since 2006
then after FlyHipHop flopped ya'll threw a new audio player n some other neat shit but shit has been at a standstill since
the more money the site is willing to throw the faster shit will get done...so it is about funds imo

Here's how I would plan everything.
Credits = LB currency. To begin, everyone gets their credits reset.
Emcee Items, Usertitles, Username Styles, Custom Avatars, Custom Signatures, Tournament Running Privaledges. EVERYTHING runs through credits. It would probably be a little bit easier later if we got some extra coding to make it self sufficient, but for the time being this would require NO coding. Just remove privillages from everyone on the site, and allow moderators the ability to change and edit other people's stuff (pretty sure this is already allowed).
Emcee Item = 50 Credits.
Usertitle = 200 Credits.
Coloured Usertitle Exit = 100 Credits.
Avatar Change = 50 Credits.
Signature Change = 25 Credits.
Exclusive = 1000 Credits (With revamp).
1 Battle = 3 Credits.
-----
Referral = 100 Credits.
If Referral Gets VIP = 500 Credits.
1 Vote = 1 Credit.
Tournament Win = 250 Credits.
Magazine Article Submission = 10 Credits.
Published Magazine Article = 50 Credits.
Letsbeef Track + Video for Youtube = 100 Credits.
1 Credit = 10c
100 Credits = $10
(The more I wrote, the more off the scale got, but besides the fact that I originally had it 100bucks for a usertitle, you get the jist  )
Would be easy to manage with active moderators (which could also have a 'salary' along with FVC members).
