ill start the bid.... 50 bucks.

Hell, if I invest and put hundred in, I at least want a red name haha.

The thing is, X has a full time job outside of LB. He can’t help us if he tried tbh. We need like 3 X’s working on this site if it’s going to do anything.

First question is who around here could be a useful contributor in terms of working on the site.

Okay, but those aren't really web browser languages. I mean, yeah, you CAN run Java in the browser but why would you?

Honestly, the best thing would be for someone to come in as an investor I think. Somebody that can put in the money and time to find additional programmers and pay for them to help X out with what is essentially a hobby.

I haven't learned php. Had I learned it, I'd be able to recreate it in as much time in that language. My point is that it's very easy to recreate the site. It's not complex.

Coding is all logic based, and it's very easy to logically break apart the battle system, ratings systems etc.

Why would someone invest in the site if some inactive guy with a negative history on the site remains the one in charge? The owner has no interest in profiting, but you think an investor would still be okay to put in money? What exactly is the "investment" there?

I think you're vastly underestimating the complexity of building something like this. Especially with consideration to the fact that everything is built as a hack to work off of the forum system. There's a LOT of fuckery happening in the backend. I will say that starting from scratch probably WOULD be easier than going in and fucking around with someone else's code. Especially since I'm willing to bet the code for this site is spaghetti as fuck after all the shit it's been through as far as development goes.

I think you should let EtH run this site tbh... the guy knows all about LB's history an shit, who did what when an all that, his like a football fan of the site or something you know?

Also he cared about the site that much that he had that beef with Pugz over it cause Pugz was steady fucking the whole site up an shit, X swooped in for a moment to fix it up somewhat though.

Also EtH spends his days getting drunk and throwing things at birds, this dude got the time to run the site an i think he would do a splendid job.

I don't really even know who originally built this site, but I'm just going to state outright that they are a high level coder that could work as a senior, if not a tech lead for a lot of startups. This site actually does a huge amount of stuff, and is extremely impressive for a side project. There are definitely guys that I known that work at big time companies that would struggle to build a site of this magnitude part time.

One of the biggest, if not the biggest reason that this site got huge back in the day over other forums and stuff is because it is such an advanced site.

The site was coded by X, Pseudo Him and V. Pseudo Nim coded most of the back end stuff and was the main developer.
