It's been fun but

my opinion: i don't think re-buffing the existing lb format with new mods will activate this site

i think battle rap is losing steam as a whole

maybe focus more on networking aspects and idea/project sharing

but theres other music sites doing that really well right now anyway...

who knows though, reworking the site and adding new blood MAY spark a renaissance on here

or you could just say fuck it, let letsbeef sink and move on. shit was great while it lasted

think of this site from the eyes of a new comer

- the format is confusing/archaic
- the forums are exclusive or dead
* subnote.. why are there so many threads? nobody uses them. keep the 4 active threads and
lose the rest, shit looks sloppy
- the color scheme is dark (kinda porn-esque), feels dirty
- first place a typical emcee will check is the audio section. which is dead as fuck. it's weird that this sub-culture of text battling outlasted all the rest on this site, but most people won't fuck with it let alone teach themselves the text-battle format and stick around after the first 10 hate votes.

idunno... the list goes on.. its not a friendly site

signing onto this site probably feels like walking into a poker game full of 60 year old men

Spot On Ol' Chap Lol

Honestly Yes. Don't Add New Shit Until You've Gotten Rid Of The Things We Don't Need (It's Feng Shui 101) Let's List Them Out:
- Inactive Moderators & Un-needed Moderators (Graphics, Chatroom Delagates, 2FUEL, Etc.)
- Horrible Layout Scheme (Dark Blue & Black = Abused Coalition Colors, Not Battle Rap)
- Articles (Stupid And None Uses Them Except @Pugz
- Social Groups (Was Fun To Add Shit But They Didn't Last, There's Already Crews Pick One And Please Don't Let It Be Social Groups.
- Calendar (Really? When Was The Last Time ANYONE Used That Section?
- Journals (Gayest Section Ever And If You Wanna Write Something Heartfelt, Cypher It!
- Post Icons (Un-need Unless You Make Them Usual For Sections, Which Most People Don't)
- Less Smilies (People Got All Butthurt About The :Monkey: But Honestly It's Just Dumb To Have So Many)
- Attachments, Unless Tracks Are Getting Attached And Posted, Useless.
- Take Away Rates On Tracks But Keep Plays, Comments Add Real Feedback.
- Either Fix Or Delete Crew Battles, Pointless To Have A Million Unfinished Battles Around. If The Crew Isn't Being Used Delete The Battle. If The Leader(s) Is Inactive For More Then A Year Delete The Battles. Too Much Shit Around.
- Tournament Names, Mostly For Looks But Delete The Ones You Don't Need (Test Tournament, Repeats, Etc.)
- Set The Twitter Bird To Only Top 10 Battles, Most Played Tracks And Video Battles, No Sense In Putting Every Single Battle (If It's Possible)
- Get Rid Of The Following Forums:
• Exclusive Member Forums (All Of Them, It's Pointless Unless You Roll The New Exclusive Out And Soon, Nobody Uses Them)
• Put LetsBeef.com Contest Sign Ups Under LetsBeef.com Contests
• Delete Tournament Talk (Put Threads In The Text / Audio Lounges To Talk About Tournaments, A Whole Forum Isn't Needed)
• FaceBook Promotions (Don't Really See Why He Needs A Forum To Promote On FaceBook
• Embed The Chatroom Into The Website Via Chatbar OR If You Can't Put It In It's Own Page.
• Get Rid Of Battle Discussion (No One Discusses Here)
• Audio Lounge & Text Lounge (Get Rid Of Audio / Text Crews, Those Subjects Can Be Discussed Via PM Or Comments, Doesn't Need To Be Public)
• Get Rid Of The Beats Forum (That's What RocBattle Is For )
• The Hall Of Fame Forums Can Be Condensed Into Just LetsBeef.com Hall Of Fame With Sub-Forums As Stats, Audio Battle, Text Battle, Crew And Track.
• Get Rid Of Rapper Comparison Board, Cheesy Idea That Isn't Used That's What Hip-Hop Discussion Is About
• Emerging Artists Can Be A Sub-Forum Under Hip Hop Discussion
• Get New Graphics Mods That Are Willing To Make Tournaments, Etc. (Or At Least Active Lol) And Get Rid Of The Pictures Sub-Forums, Not Used.
• Help / Bugs Can Be Merged Into One Forum
• Title Requests Can Be Deleted Since There's No More Custom User Titles (Therefore Make 2FUEL A Moderator Or Don't Have Him At All)

There's More But That's A Quick Rundown Of What I Think Should Be Changed.

Activity levels of LB, Netcees, Goldmic etc etc in 2006 compared to 2012.

Research is done, battle rap as a whole is on a decline.
