My skill level is legend
You having a winning record is a myth @
Just C
in all seriousness though @
Pugz nobodys sayin there's a site better than LB. I'm just sayin ya'll are taking it too easy and sitting there idle when you should be grinding & hiring people for all kinds of things, instead of relying on the not-so-available pseudo
It makes more sense to me to pour a shit load of money in making the best battle site even better, so you can generate more revenue, rather than letting something this big & great die
& Dying is exactly what its doing, look up the statistics for this site. Traffic, page views.. Everything important to a rap community and search engines point downwards
The donation button with a goal is very realistic and its a great idea @
Erebus ... Tons of sites do it, and tons of sites do other kinds of kickstarters to get up & running like providing incentives for bringing in new members (affiliate/referral systems, etc etc)
but the problem I have with donating to the site is this...given your very very spotty track record (ya'll told us LBV4 would come at least 5 times and are 0 for 5), I have trouble giving money to a website that doesn't deliver, or hasn't since 2006 at least.
The skin overhaul is probably the most needed face-lift. Some of us have stared at this navy blue theme for 6-7 years (speaking for myself)
But you can do other things to expand the site from a battle site to a hip-hop community in general. Make the track section more social-media like, add likes to songs, add profile page music like MySpace, add awards and points in the forums that can be redeemed for shit like colored usernames, or an awards system where awards are given automatically based on certain criterias.. like X amount of wins gets you a badge under your username automatically, without having to ask a mod to do it. X amount of posts gets you this. doing X and Y earns you points which you can redeem on....emcee items? Idk. U get the idea
There are TONS of things you can do to this site to make it better and generate revenue
