I think it's a pretty good idea, and it's something Mindless has suggested to the staff before in terms of blogs. It will be a great way to attract diverse Hip Hop fans and not just those who want to do online battle rap which is an ever-shrinking niche. We are still in the process of setting up a new site which will be mobile and have an upgraded vBulletin which comes with it's own blog CMS built in. We can, for example, do this using Wordpress. There are ways to set up Wordpress so that both the Wordpress and vBulletin will share the same user database, meaning someone can register on the Wordpress LB mag site and switch over to LetsBeef using the same username and password without having to re-register. I will pitch it the owners and see what they think. That's all I can do tbh. The mobile site we've been working on is based on vB5 but we might have to downgrade to vB4 in order for the Wordpress bridge to work.
