i have to say this is a pretty fucking stupid idea. we need more communication not less. look at the places that are thriving. insta/fb/reddit. most of these have multiple ways to communicate with other users. the chatbox doesn't hurt anything, people casually discuss shit, and when they have something directly related to the site they can post in the forums. do you really want to see 1000s of 2gucci forum posts about nothing? best for the chatroom.

here's what i will say, our current system is outdated, in refference to the chat room embedded above the forums. it's get's the most attention but it's the least modern. the pm system here is decent but a bit small, and the chatbox featured with it is fucking terrible. i personally believe the best route is to embed the LB discord and ghost the others. it's modern, efficient, and relevant.

also, nobody is active at all much anymore. the issues is not a chatbox, per se, the issues is based on an outdated site, and a lack of adaption to the current frames of modern expectations. people want apps of their phone that are easy to use, and don't cost them extra fees. rapping is huge and battle rap is too. we need to capitalize on the interest, but treating letsbeef as just a site form battle rap might be an inherit flaw. i'd suggest it's best to view letsbeef as a social platform and try to engage that way.
