X took back ownership of the site
 

Posting this because X's comments in the chatbox will probably get buried, and I know there's people that log on like once a month just to see whats up.

So I guess X will keep us posted. Don't give up yet ya'll

eh.....

saw this thread in the main forum page and figured it was esso trying to get votes on his shit

this is actually a good development. I'm not holding my breath but at least there's the potential for improvement now

"I started the site with Pseudo Nim and V back in 2005.. Pseudo was the main programmer on the backend system (that handled all the logic for battling, ranking etc), I did the graphics and user interface. Around 2012 V and I transferred ownership of the site to Pseudo Nim to focus on another business venture. I'm acquiring 100% ownership of the site back from Pseudo.
Since then my programming skills have improved so my goal is to try and revamp the site fully myself, I want to focus it back on the battling aspects and make battling the main focus. From a technology standpoint, I wanna get rid of the Flash-based recorder and make an HTML5 based recorder that will work on mobile. I know text battling is a big part of the site too (even more popular than audio) so thinking how we can make that experience good on mobile devices
Originally we wanted to make money from the site, so we put ads and the exclusive membership etc.. but I'm not trying to focus on making money through the site. If it can make enough to cover it's own costs that's good, the server fees are quite significant.. and theres like 400 gigs of battle history on the site. I really just want to make the audio and text battling experience good again and work on mobile" - X in chat

The revival begins.

This isn't a move I expected since ive always been critical to x about his lack of focus on the site.

His directions and plans seem more focused and realistic than "v4" ever dod so this is looking like the best possible outcome.

Rule was a great choice but it required him going deep to hire workers for the site. X comes with more experience in that field and he's got enough experience in the current members that he doesn't need to have been actually active for years.

Yessir..

to what Bleu said..

ehh..I'm not so sure he should be focused on optimizing the site for mobile. of course that would be great. but whats wrong with the site is the outdated look and outdated vbulletin forum..nobody's going to come here if it looks the same way it did when they Googled 'rap battling' 10 years ago.

A complete overhaul is necessary, optimizing the site after this change in appearance would just be the icing on the cake imo

Why are you saying this? The reason we're behind x is because he wants to focus on the rap battle website, not the social media bollocks you rattled on about mixed with trying so hard to be organik.

Honestly you wanting to remain involved is only a huge negative to plan moving forward.

bwahaha....I wouldnt go that far

Agree that a revamp of the look / layout of the site should be priority #1 and I got the feel from X that he was gonna be doing that. I'll try finding what he said in chat

"the backend is PHP, frontend Javascript/HTML/CSS.. the new version will still use PHP and HTML5 on frontend, maybe jQuery too" - X.


Not sure if that means the look of the site will change. He said he did the graphic design back in the day too so I figure he could do it again.

Everything will change.. look and function

Right at the 11th hour lol but glad it's happening, I mean there's a reason we all keep logging in (especially us ancient folks) mostly nostalgia mixed in with a slight hope things would turn around

Sounds good. I'll be around :high:

S/O to all the members that stuck with this hell hole through its worst.

ill always be loyal to lets beef even tho i was banned multiple times for trolling lol. Lets get this!

@Pugz is my real life brother, he will forever be a part of this site. He doesn't have programming experience, but he tried to grow the site outside of the technical aspect and did some interesting stuff in the live battle area. It's just me and Pugz :guns:

LB babyyy

THis is good

Well, let's just hope you aren't as painfully incompetent at communication as your brother. Also lets not try to act like what pugz was doing wasn't poorly perfuming a casket. Everyone here was screaming "FIX THE SITE BEFORE YOU TRY TO MARKET IT TO A LIVE AUDIENCE" but he just plugged his ears and kept going.

Maybe I'm being too cynical, but I'm just beyond the concept of hope due to these retarded moves being made over and over again. I guess we'll see what happens....

Fact after fact

I like how you put yourself first, because you realize you received the superior genetics.

Also he deleted my account cause I questioned his experience to single handedly judge a text tournament in his first month of ownership.

Oh yeah im not over that.

:popcorn:

I feel like Pugz should only be in control of the live battle side, not the site. Like NOTHING to do with the site. Just be the promoter. Well, that's if he's not ripping people off and taking their money then yeah, he can do that. Just don't let him run this site.

:whoa:

nigga what up

VOTE UP KINGS KEEPING ACTIVITY SLIGHTLY

So there is hope.

Pugz getting it from all angles. Can you just be content with the good news, get over it and move on. Been enough negativity the last year to last a lifetime. Let them focus. Knowing what I know, if X is 100% committed, this'll be a revival. Only way it'll fail is if there's simply just no demand for this anymore. We'll find out soon enough.

👀......

This.
Too many cry babies around here.

>nothing but declining failure for literal years back to back
>pointing out that fact is being a crybaby

Nah. I'm all for this "revival," but the fact that all of you are ONCE AGAIN buying into nothing but a fucking claim immediately shows our desperation. And if we're being realistic here I'm even battling more than any of you, so while you give your feux support for LB while calling facts crying I'll be saying fuck these retards while actually keeping it active. Unlike your singular forum post.

I hope X does something with the site, but I'm not going to suck his dick until it happens when all I've gotten is fuck yous and silence since 2012 when I joined.

You guys are cucks to authority / are desperate to put hope into something. Don't hate on me for not being like you.

NOBLEs the kind of guy who sucked off the staff at every turn and told us to "wait and see" every time we disagreed with a decision.

Its insane how he and others can look around and not realize that the entire current state of the site proves us to be correct.

Anyway........ Moving on.

EtH when's the last time you've had some pussy? Be honest.

Yeah, I guess even while indisputably fact everything I'm pointing out here doesn't do much in the way of progression. Do you X, keep us posted with whatever develops. If anything develops.

Depending on how active battling gets again I'll even set up some small cash tournaments. to promote activity, facts.

lowkey just glad you didn't ask me this

Last night weirdly. Not common for me but after weeks of hanging out with a bird from work I said "so we gonna get off with each other or what?". She later said its the least slick thing shes ever heard. Im not good at most things.

Anyways, my usually abysmal sex life aside, your response proves your inability to successfully progress the site noble.

When was the last time you had sex? Well I guess you werre recently in prison so I guess youre probably still not walking straight.

Smh...I think you're way too uptight and you take this forum shit too seriously. I'm glad you scored last night...if it's true. I think you should try it more often.

Yeah, well...


Well...


Well....


You're objectively better at chess than I am!


So there!!!!!!!!!

In hindsight, I worry that last post may backfire.
