LetsBeef Magazine Launch: AUTHORS NEEDED

The fact that I have to beg admin, mods, and users alike to vote on a LBA battle is pretty revealing. No hate intended at all towards you, any individual, and the magazine of course.

Imagine we're living in a house together and we have lots of issues. The mortgage is 3 months past due, the water bill hasn't been paid, the roof is leaking, the dishes haven't been washed, etc. Some of these issues will take longer than others to resolve. For example, it will take us longer to come up with the money to pay the mortgage bill than to fix the leaking roof. If you see us sweeping the floor and washing the dishes in the meanwhile, that doesn't mean we are unaware or are not working towards fixing the other issues which will take longer. It just means that, yea, it will take us a while to come up the resources to make all the fixes but we'll do what we can in the meanwhile. The owners and admins care very much about this site and there are a lot of things being worked on behind the scenes that will just take time to implement.

Totally understand, @NOBLE , and certainly don't mean any disrespect. As a long time active LB member, I also feel invested in the site and definitely understand the nature of long term solutions taking time. I really was and am expressing concern due to recent major drop in activity.

As you know I tend to want to help when possible. I showed up to the original NYC event and am certainly willing to attend more and even live battle potentially. As you know due to making Tinychat moderator about 3 years ago, I am all about holding tinychat events and feel I can pick up doing that again to help out.

I am connected into the In Crowd Elite scene as well, but that has recently been majorly inactive as well. I am excited about the potential partnership opportunities with Absyrd and his Assault & Battling League as far as live events.

I just want to make sure that the site activity is revived a bit more. I feel restoring some version of FVC would be beneficial, despite issues that it has and will likely continue to have to some degree. I do commend you on the voting awards as well!

Thanks for all the hard work, and sorry if I came off as completely negative.

I also feel @Punk was thrown under the bus a bit with the removal of his modship, especially since certain mods have since proven to be far worse. I hope you two can resolve yalls differences as he should have some roll in the Magazine as its past producer.

The magazine could potentially bring more people to the site dude. Since the magazine will be covering hip hop in general.
