Got an hour before the Scotland game so let's do this;

The only reason people hated user titles is because there were so many that it diminished the championships for others. In like 2021, people like me winning titles is why the titles have diminished. If some nobody wins a title because only 3 people are in a tournament, their title isn't diminished because Meta4 also has one.

It's absolutely dumbfounding that you imagine LB in 5 years and the biggest concern to you is whether or not someone from 10 years ago still has a title. Imagine us 5 years ago from now and look at what it's become. Do you actually see ANYTHING in 5 years?


You probably can't run a 32 man tournament on LB, even running one a year. Every single tournament has like 10 people posting at most. It doesn't matter whether it's Scheme or One Bar cause no one cares either way.


Sure, it'd make the forums look busier maybe, but people don't use any of those threads right now so it wouldn't drive any traffic.

Again, as you say, never used. Therefore it's not causing any negatives. Therefore removing it wont result in a positive.

Makes no difference really. Probably the only possible thing you could have result from this is the only few freestyle battlers leaving.

Reduced? I've not seen a text cypher with a vote on it since like 2009, and any one that did have one had it from me as I was farming credits.

Delete all their battles. Show them how it feels.

Genuinely the only half decent idea.

What if your account gets deleted for being mean to RULE? EDIT: Also the delete button has never been necessary. GDPR doesn't apply to LB. Firstly, we're not signing up with sensitive data. Secondly, even if we did, no website in the world allows you to pull the plug and straight delete. You can request your data be removed.




But really, it's just nonsense man. Firstly, you can't implement half of this. You have no power or ability to remove sections or ratings etc. Your big mandate is to request coding...from X...who's said he's been doing this shit for 5 years. I dunno what it is about their family but lying about v4 is absolutely insanely a family trait at this stage.

LB is done man. You gotta accept it. We don't get new members and those who somehow do stumble across the website don't even understand how to use it because they, and I'm not exaggerating, might not have been born when LB was created. LB's design is from 15 years ago. I joined LB when I was 14 years old, like a tonne of people on here.

There's next to no successful forum sites on the world now. It's still probably the only coded battle site, but no one's looking for text battle sites themselves. You would have to physically bring the site to the people, and drastically change the product you were bringing first.

I imagine this will frustrate you, probably because half of those ideas up there were mine. I bitched at you for fucking years about usertitles, and forums, and the unranked section. But look around man. Nothing you propose will increase membership. At the absolute most, it will slow losing members, and we're already not retaining members so by the time you get X to do something, you want to preserve LB in a year's time?

Unless someone wants to buy a website that X admits operates at a loss fueled purely off of nostalgia and name alone, then LB isn't ever going to improve from right now. Today is the best it'll ever be again, right now.

Im new here...just some friendly advice
 

If you want to increase site participation.....

That may mean actually being involved in every post or thread..

Comment on the new folks who arrive so they stick around...

You can't have tourney's without people...so focus on the one factor you need.

Draw more people in...

It's plenty ways to do it......

Thing is...most of the folks moved over to facebook battle groups..

So how do u get those folks back...

Run facebook ads...build the community back up...

Ask folk to return and make it more active by actually participating n being active yourself.



Good luck....so far...ive seen battles with barely any votes....the site looks dead but u get the right ppl posting consistently....it will draw in more talent...

Folks need inspiration and look to sites like these to find folk to inspire them to write or help them improve..


So inspire folk....


Make folks wanna come back because it is dope shit being posted here daily...


Just some friendly advice from someone who has been around longer than most of you.

Ive seen sites die off but this one is still around so keep it from dying off..


It will take a combined effort from all of you...

Not just the mods.....everyone who posts here...


U want someone to vote on your battle...then vote for other battles..

U want ppl to check you out...then check other folk out...

Salute...

Stfu........

All valid points!

NOBLE, the guy who posts twice a year and hasnt battled since 2012 yet still blames the users for the site not improving despite 14 years of no leadership. Amazing.

Eth is upset that I gave someone else props for making what I thought were valid points. Sad.

You have LITERALLY had one battle, at least on this account, in 6 years. Yet you blame the members for the state of the site. Fuck outta here you clown.

You're a fucking liar who's not as smart as he thinks. I'm literally exhausted from correcting your lies over the years. I have never blamed the members for the state of the site. I have suggested there are things we can all do to make things better as a community. That's not the same thing as blame. You went on my page to see when my last battle was before posting that I hadn't battled since 2012, and you couldn't even get that right. Go check again. Beside pointing out the fallacies in what you're saying, what's more astonishing is the fact that we're only having this back and forth because you got mad I gave Meticulous props for his response after you told him to stfu. Do you realize how lame that is?

"Things we can do". Who's this we? Your last battle before this week was half a decade ago (and yes, half, cause you text battled in 2015. I believe "Go check again" was your words?

You've been banging your head against the wall for almost 10 years. You believed in the admins, we told you it was dumb, we were proven right....so you then continued to believe in the admins. I swear if X came back for 2 weeks you've be telling us to stay patient because v4 is coming. You've been saying the same dumbass shit for literally a decade now, and despite never once being proven even slightly right, you continue along the tracks. Even now, instead of being like "Yeah the site's fucked without X doing something" you still have the audacity to blame the members (the same ones you havent been a part of in 6 years). Kick rocks jabroni.

You still can't get it right. Lol.
First you said I haven't battled since 2012, (9 years ago), now it's 6 years ago. My last audio battle (which might actually still be open since voting has been so low) was started last year (but I guess audio doesn't count). Since the text battle you see on my page from 2015, I've posted a few tournament battles (but I guess those don't count either). And besides the asinine assumption that battling (or text battling) is the only metric of activity on the site, everyone knows (except for the absolute newbies) that I was a long time admin of this site who intentionally chose to battle seldomly so as to abstain from any conflict of interest or to have any skewed results because of my influence. I created a multi (Iron Mike), which you know about, to battle under for that very purpose, and I stopped battling under Iron Mike once it became common knowledge it was me. I have also battled under other multis you don't know about. With that being said, I only stepped down as admin within the last two years, and I was fully active till then, battling or not battling. So yes, I still maintain you're a fucking liar who can't get your stories straight. I normally ignore you but I've got time today. Keep it coming. I'm going to give you a full diagnosis.
