As someone who votes on nearly every open text battle this month (Sure, I’ve skipped my share of Bnas battles) I don’t really know what the solution is besides for people to just vote more. I don’t find it very hard to vote and a short but explained expo takes like a minute or less after reading the battle. It takes way longer to post in a thread about this than it does to vote on a handful of battles.

yeah i see your point. i agree it's hard to find a way to get people motivated to vote. does anyone have any idea on how to get the old cats to come back and make contributions? and can we get some mods to give their thoughts @ Aggo @ Seul @ Student

yeah tyrant i got love for all you do for everyone here. nothing but respect. but if i were to say anything, it'd be that i wish even you would vote more often. but honestly you're one of the more active cats our here so much love.
as far as money goes, think of fortnite. people play the game for fun and buy the clothes with real money. i dont really think people stack credits for clothes.
maybe updating the site and adding way more shit to wear and buy and reducing prices could work.

These are all great ideas, but I feel there'll be alot more activity once the site makes battling compatible w/ your phone.

For starters, the actual owners of the site have to show they care enough to make changes to make their own product more interesting and user-friendly, which is something that has been a recurring failure of the site ownership for about a decade now. If they don't care, with them being the owners, then the people who are the customers are going to respond with the same apathy.

I agree with @ Rieper. I've also notice a lot of people leave the site do to votes being swayed also lack of compassion to write more. The site turned into a pissing competition and shit talking instead of actual rap or lyricism. We should focus more on becoming better artists/battle rappers. Heres a thought.....I feel we need promoters on the website to push this site further, but then again....no one wants to work for free. Maybe if we could get more revenue involved we could get some where. Just a thought.... Oh and one last thing that i want to add. I was talking to @ captain gutpunch about group writing. Theres an exercise that we can do to advance, not only yourself but others as well. Its called "Objective Writing". Basically you choose an object and create metaphors/punchlines in 15/20 minutes. Everyone will have the same object and write a 16 about the object. The bars you write do not have to connect in rhyming. This exercise is meant to help you create metaphors/punchlines a lot faster. Then later on making connections with your bars will be a breeze. In any songwriting class they will encourage you to get multiple opinions on your material. Group writing helps inspire other writers and trains you to look out side the box. Approach your writing from a different angle. WE ALL SUPPOSE TO SHARE OUR WORK TO SEE THE DIFFERENT ANGLES WE COME UP WITH.

They just made the emcee shop, for people to drop their credits into... also Mindless made a poll a while ago regarding credit resets, and people voted no.
We don't need the owners to make the site better, we can do that with activity. I agree with OP but its not like they are new suggestions, this conversation had occurred many times. It's just kinda up to us to make the best of it, until the owners drop the mobile app... (i know its been promised for time, but really, what else can we do but wait, other than leave. We seem to enjoy it enough to log in everyday as is).
I'll be voting more often, as I did in the past.
Just my two cents...
