The best idea LB hasn't implemented yet

[X]

It's a good idea, but I'd make it more focused around battling than forum posting. The forums are a secondary experience, the primary is battling. We want to implement features that encourage people to battle, perform better verses etc.

You can do both, but it's important to integrate the shit into the forums so that there's incentive to contribute to them. Which gets people involved and makes the site look more active and increases visibility in search engines based on the keywords searched


No forum = no site. People weren't saying LB was making a comeback off of seeing people battle. People started saying LB was making a comeback after seeing an increase in forum activity

As as far as implementing the feature into battling

Starting a battle - 5vc
Responding to a battle - 4vc

Starting a cypher - 3vc
Joining the cypher - 3vc

etc etc. And to incentivize ppl to do crew battles, you could give out a ridiculous amount of VC for people that start/join crew battles.

Starting a crew battle - 50vc

etc etc etc these are basic examples you obviously decide the payout structure yourself but this is definitely one of the best ways to give people an incentive to do shit. It turns LB into a game in the sense that there's actually attainable shit and prizes for people that participate in forums and battles

I agree with Godbody on this one. Whilst on the face of things the forums might seem secondary or less important. The decline of the site showed very much so how important forum activity is. The regular posters were the last ones to leave the site. I think that battling brings people to the site, community (forums, chatbox etc.) is what keeps them here.

I really like this idea though. However I think if it's going to be done it can't be half-baked (like the previous credit store).
