I been on LB since i was about 15 years old. That was 11 years ago, back in 2008 when the site was really at its best, up until probably 2013/2014 it just kind of slowly faded out, essesntially for 6 years.

If you were active back then you'll know. Easy 40-50 regular active members, if not more.

I understand people lose interest and/or grow up, have kids and full time jobs n shit.. but this is the best outlet for people who love hip-hop, write rhymes and battle people from around the world, all from the comfort of their own home.

I myself am in full time employment and have been for 7 years so i too fell off the site but i often been checking here for fresh battles & new tracks.. it proved gradually that LB was fading away in terms of the quality & quantity of battles, tracks & voting.

Unfortunately we cant help the inactivity and lack of incentive to create.

But i thought id have a rant and throw a couple ideas at those who are left to read this.

So...

We should have more 'star ratings'.
E.g under our battle record should be attributes -
Audio Track Rating: 7.7/10 ******* (for those whos preference is the track side of LB)
Text Cypher Rating: 8.2/10 ******** (for those whos preference is or just like dropping cyphers)

Also there should be a cap for members voting on atleast 10 things everyday, whether it be battles, cyphers or tracks, otherwise you cant post on forums or battle that day until youve cast a vote 10 times within the 24 hour clock.

I dunno
