I've said it time and time again, you gotta spend money to make money...Not in the form of paid advertisements, rather, revamping the entire site and adding new features
A while back change after change was being made...The new audio player, social media features, ability to download battles
LB needs to go down THAT path again...Except LB needs to bang out some theme/skins along with revamping the navigation bar. The site has had the same look for years. Especially now that Conceited & Charron blew up, rap fans from everywhere have and are checking out this site from time to time. Seeing how little its changed over the course of 6 years turns people off. Seeing a completely re-designed site with the features that we want (If we want it chances are they do too) is gonna bring in new ppl

Not everyone will be turned off to it, some, like me will see the potential it has and attempt to do something about it even if it's on as small of a scale as my contributions.
When we say it looks dated we don't mean we've simply gotten used to it, the skin literally looks old & bland. A skin upgrade would be great, for the first thing people see on the site is the skin so naturally it'll heavily contribute to people staying or leaving. Next comes mechanics & diverse/unique features and I think we have those, so the skin is really the biggest deal in terms of user decision making based on it alone..
personally I think there should be a wide variety of skins that could be changed in the cp, so if you don't like what we have now you can just fuckin' change it. A GFX contest would EASILY get this done, and the coding is more than possible to implement..
