It was pretty much all down hill after that.

Another 8 Mile wouldn't do it though.. I mean, url and to a lesser extent kotd are sorta pushing battling back toward the mainstream, but, we live in a different age of technology. As teens, we went to the computer to go online. Younger generations now do their internets via mobile.. the concept of typing up text battles just doesn't translate to phone/tablet
I don't think the problem is text rap as much as all message board communities. The message board is a dying concept.

yes, and also no.

the talent pool was waaaaaay bigger back then. in any form of competition, there are always mid-level competitors that imitate the top level competitors.

top guys all had different styles, but there were always mid level clones.. hell even some top level dudes would switch up their styles and copy the guy on the hot streak.

it's just more evident now, when there's a lot less of the mid level talent and even less top level guys.

It depends.. Reddit is essentially a massive message board and has huge traffic.

A handful other boards I post are still bringing in numbers..

On a wednesday afternoon there's 2482 users at the anime board I use.. Most users ever on was 4997 and that was Febuary of this year, so that board is still going strong after 10 years, as are others.

It just requires a draw.. and I don't think hip hop boards have that draw anymore.

Reddit is a completely different format geared toward a mobile audience. Social media must be formatted, and vBulletin and other similar message board formats aren't.

True @reddit

but the anime board, and most gaming boards I've been to are vbulletins.

there;s also tapatalk. even then.. not all those forums even have tapatalk support

I've posted on rap, basketball and journalism message boards for a decade. The activity at all of them has gone down dramatically, regardless of the initial size of the communities.

anime_boners 04-02-2014 04:19 PM
It's the draw, I guess.. online communities all serve a niche. The anime/gaming boards aren't slowing down, obviously, gamers/anime fans/nerds clearly still embrace the concept of forums.

in which it dawns on me that reed is undoubtedly a neoGAFer

anime_boners 04-02-2014 04:37 PM
naw I actually don't post on gaf, surprisingly. some times I check the site

I'm more niche and pretty much only play FGs anymore.. I mostly check Shoryuken / dustloop.

I've seen plenty of newbs - they're usually terrible to start with...like every vet was, then end up getting flamed by board members and never return

The forums at sherdog are pretty active, but there's also a hub of news articles to bring people there and keep them talking.

I think our generation viewed the internet as a means to connect with people around the world more than this generation does. They seem to be more interested in nonstop connection with friends. Idk though, probably has more to do with the evolution of the internet more than generational differences; everyone's parents are on fb catching up with old friends and shit.

Diode 04-02-2014 04:56 PM
social media killed forums just like it killed most blog communities

and blogs killed e/n sites before that

and e/n sites killed newsgroups and bbs frontdoor groups

and so on and so forth..

Witty 04-02-2014 05:07 PM
I hate social media :(

Sharp 04-02-2014 08:05 PM
BA's entirely me, sorry. I kind f let it slack cause no one battles and I rarely get to a computer outside of classes. But latelyCertain's been huge about picking up slack, it seems like shits getting updated but i'll try to get on the BA more often
