This is actually not a bad idea. Similar to the different colored flames, I can see how it could provide an incentive for people to battle and move up weight classes. But how would someone who starts off in light weight class finally get promoted to middle weight? Number of points/battles completed?
EDIT: Sorry, I missed the part where you said "3 consecutive defenses of title result in step up in weight class." I think an automatic promotion to higher weight class based on a number of battles completed and points earned ratio might work better for using this tier system to stimulate activity.

That might help boost forum activity since people won't have a choice but to discuss stuff in the forums. But I'm talking about boosting battling/voting activity, not necessarily forum.

I seriously don't see how removing the chatbox is going to make the battle arena popping or how it will increase voting.

The site's activity was already down by the time we made the chatbox public. I see how you can link those two events---the site activity going down and the chatbox becoming publicly available---because they occured during the same years. But to say the site's activity went down BECAUSE of the chatbox is an entirely different argument. Either way, I don't really care about the chatbox all that much and I'm not too invested in it. At this point, I'm almost open to us trying anything because the situation is so desperate.

The chat box takes away from the forums, ofc. People usually log in, look at the chatbox then log off.. Or something like that. Felon's on the right track. Activity was never this bad before we got the chatbox. It only decreased. People started posting in chat first before posting in forums. Most of the topics they talk about could be threads.

Alright. I'm in the minority on this and I still don't fully agree, but I will push the owners to turn off the chatbox. What else should we do to stimulate battling/voting activity?
