This place reads dead as soon as you get to it. 100's of people probably visit this site a day and just bounce, never look back. You need clean UI/UX to keep people here and consistent tournaments with legitimate rewards to generate and maintain interest/activity. Organizing a sort of weight-class type system within the Audio/Text arenas (like Lightweight, Middleweight, Welterweight, Light Heavyweight, Heavyweight -type shit) would help ensure quality competition. Monthly Cypher & Track awards, Topicals, etc. —the works.
EtH's idea with the Crews was dope. I think ya'll could put like a Soccer/Football League type approach to it though where there's like a: "Premier League" with the ~6 main/most successful crews, "Champions League" with ~6 up and coming crews, and "League One" with the bottom feeders/newbies yet to garnish a reputation. I like the freedom for members to just try to spark a dynasty from nothing.
Like I said though, LB does have a good head start but it really just needs that extra push. & A good marketing drive. Throwing a few ads to the right audience would get this place popping with the right infrastructure set up.
You can't expect users to run a site themselves without any incentives. People have lives, man. I need to be motivated to be here. Ya'll either need money put into this with a drive to promote it and gain money (through ads, memberships, pots, idk, etc.) or ya'll need another RULE to come in here with time on their hands to get a steady cycle of shit going on. Shit needs to happen where shit CAN happen.

Not sure if you've seen it but we've got Quarterly Ca$h Tournaments now, we've done 2 so far, 2 are currently in process and they're scheduled throughout the rest of the year.

Is there an existing link to this FAQ thread, or has it been removed?
