My Suggestions to Boost LB

I disagree about guys like Bnas. As controversial as it is, I actually like them being here.

Back in 2007, you had Cash One, Bestmceva, Real Rugger Rel etc. These guys sending out hundreds of battles a month, probably cheating all the time too. I liked that this added depth to the site. You had us forum guys all talking, then you had that complete other side of the site all talking. Guys could become life long mates and we didnt even know them. You dont get that anymore. The last time that existed was 2011. I made Master Masai and went over to "that side" of the site, talking to new guys like Phe, v3numb and MadVerbs. They seemed like clueless, potential cheaters that are new, but all of them ended up on this side of the site and were pretty well liked people by some top names.

I was over on "that side" in CSK myself, and now I'm apparently a patriarch. Guys like Bnas give people an early goal on the site. Their mission of to get in the top 10, skilful or not. Eventually, upon either achieving that goal or not, some of them join our side. Even if they dont, constantly battling always brings improvement.

It is all on first impressions, if a completely new person to the site on his first visit listens to a Bnas battle and sees he is number 1, it's not gonna motivate them to climb the ladder, it's gonna tell them the talent on the sites terrible if this guy is ranked #1, and they are gonna quit the site. They ain't gonna climb the ladder.. in their mind it's the special olympics. Ranking system is fucked.

This was always the case thought. Back in 2007 when all the legends joined, the site was always filled with people who sucked.

Well, then he is not keeping the beef on wax. In one video i even recall Bnas digging a actual hole, he then proceeded to yell to "Bring Phil's body in". Maybe the excessive real life violent threats is scaring battle rappers off of letsbeef.

Sounds like it would draw people in.

2.) A Letsbeef promotional team. I know that this has been tried in the past by @Crysis, but, a hand selected group of members picked by staff to promote the site would be great. An online street team, if you will.

3.) Brand interconnectivity. Steps towards this are already being taken, with the collaborations between LB, and other sites for things like the Bars4Bling tournament, and the upcoming live event. But, things like site mergers, or site vs. site battles could mean a HUGE bump in activity, and could help to create a stronger buzz for Letsbeef.

4.) Sectional divisions. With the recent move by LB to live events, this, to me seems like the next most logical step. The sectional division of the country into "Letsbeef divisions." for live events. Not only does this open up letsbeef to a larger demographic, but, also exposes Letsbeef to a new audience. If people enjoy the live events put on by Letsbeef, they'll be more inclined to join the site.

5.) Letsbeef magazine revamp. @Punk does a great job putting together Letsbeef mags, but, I think these could be a much more fundamental asset to the site than we realize. A branching of this magazine, with additional effort to its construction, outside of Letsbeef could attract new blood to the site. An ACTUAL, multi page online magazine could really open up some possibilities.

6.) Graphics, topicals, and production. It's no secret that these parts of the site have grown stagnant, and lackluster over the years. But, I feel that with a stronger support system, and more emphasis on these aspects of the site, we could really drive activity up a few notches. Bringing in graphics heads, or beat producers, or even topical writers could be a great step, by giving the members of the site interested in these things more to strive for, and more attention than we have, we could see our numbers increasing.
