Noble, X, Student, Mods, Members to thread!

There is a growing attitude of discontent on the site. Most of the blame is being placed on Admin being generally absent from the site. Recently a tourney didnt close until 9 days past its closing date. There are sections of the site that are broken and could be easily repaired but they havent been because no one that can fix them has been around.

X almost never stops by the site and we havent had an update on the "new site" since mods got a quick peek at it months and months ago. Members feel unheard, Mods feel helpless and new members arent sticking around.

Something needs to be done. The latest effort to try to get the attention of admin is in a campaign to have a mass account deletion. It may even have a hashtag. Whether this is a good idea, or one that will work. I dont know. I know in the short term a bunch more missing profiles hurts and id like to keep the site around for a while longer.

Some people are calling for admin to be replaced. I feel that adding one person with some coding knowledge who will be available fairly regularly would be a huge step in the right direction. As is, people are unhappy. And they have a right to be. They have a passion and a love for this site and its members. Lets do something to preserve that.

@X @NOBLE @Studdent

at least come and speak to your members. Let them know you hear them.

i agree with this, most parts anyways. id' be nice for them to speak up and let us know they're around and putting in effort. i will not bash student or noble or x. x has the freedom to do whatever he fucking wants tbh, it's his site. as far as noble goes, he seems pretty busy so maybe promoting student or hvk to admin could help sooth some issues out. the current staff is great. honestly. i believe aggo is a great mod, hvk, student, seul, i don't have issues with any of these people as mod. for everyone else? if you're not active over long periods of time, you need to be removed.

this is a good thread aggo, and a much better way of approaching the situation, than throwing fits and making threats to get your way.

This would be a massive step in the right direction.

Does anyone even realize that @ILLoKWENT is still a mod? Js...

Feel like this is a spin-off of another main point: Some of the mods simply aren't active enough anymore, meaning the active user-group isn't fairly represented.

Thank you bro that's actually where I was trying to get at with my point being that despite the staff being chill and all, we need a more active faculty.

Lol it took EtH giving up to get this conversation taken seriously? Or is this thread just gonna disappear in a few days too.

"There is a growing attitude of discontent on the site. Most of the blame is being placed on Admin being generally absent from the site. Recently a tourney didnt close until 9 days past its closing date. There are sections of the site that are broken and could be easily repaired but they havent been because no one that can fix them has been around"

We can't really even insinuate that part of the blame falls on users when admins are generally absent and no one fixes easily repaired sections of a broken site. Running a site and keeping it active is solely an admins job. It's not a user/customers job to buy anything—it's the product's job to function properly and market well.

LB is a battle service. A host. It's inviting people into a house for a bunch of tournaments and the house looks like a partly abandoned warehouse from the nineties and functions as one. We throw party beads at people and expect them to find cups and the keg somewhere in a disheveled basement where a few old heads try to scavenge the wanderers into a tournament between 4 peoples multiple personalities that 10 people tops give a shit about. People might stay and party if it got cleaned up and consistently managed.

It's really not even that hard of a concept to think up and execute. My guess is LB as it is isn't worth the investment of an upgrade and @X or whoever owns the site now doesn't really see much value in its future potential.

Does money even generate from this site? We give away exclusive memberships for free now... I'm sure it really is just a graveyard of code at this point. Any ads can't be getting too many clicks.

So if we just get some bullshit ads in here and click the fuck out of them then we'll get enough money to fix this website?

Guys... what the fuck are we doing?

Nah that's more me just posing the question: What is the owner's motivation to keep this site active?

I currently help run a site. I wouldn't be doing that if I wasn't being paid to do that—I don't even have more than 1 hour a day to pay attention to LB. @X or whoever probably has more important things to do if he's not getting anything back from this. If he's lost the passion and left it essentially to users to appoint mods and admins that have no genuine ability to do the big things this site isn't going to last much longer.
