Why do it be like 30-40 niggas in the archives forum always?
 

U unoriginal biting ass concept stealin niggas lol

I can't see there being any other reason.

Nigs be ghosting that forum pilfering anything possible.

Never been a fan tbh.

Niggas in there on they pacman

Nah what I used to do when I left RB in 09 and didn't return till 2015 was first I went to archives and looked at all my old battles, tourneys, and threads etc to remember good times or see if any of my accounts were unbanned yet. Probably some niggas do it to steal concepts but probably some do it along the lines of my reason

There's not 30+ ppl in there doing that for even anything close to ur reason.

If they not stealing concepts, they stealing styles/schemes.

I never understood how you could imitate a text "style" or "scheme". I always thought it was short bar or long bar, but I've noticed different people doing different style setups and shit so yeah I see

Ppl jack styles all the time.. ur right it is shortbar or longbar.. but there's particulars that ppl will take & use as their own.

Striking similarities in verses do prove it from time to time imo... but there are coincidences where ppl naturally have a similar style to someone else, past or present.

But more than likely, they jacked that style of writing.

This is all a matter of opinion w/ me too.. ppl can claim what I'm saying is dumb & doesn't make sense.. but I've been at this text shit a very long time.. & I've pretty much seen it all.

It's probably bots tbh.

Why would there be that many bots in there tho?

To keep the problem contained in one area that isn't active?

Idk, just doesn't seem plausible that many real people are there at one time. We barely have 40 text battlers on this site lol

Iono man, I'm skeptical.

Ppl from other sites too I'm sure. Ppl reminiscing. Some are prob biters or ppl looking for concepts to flip.

I remember lama telling me long ago before NCs inception, archives bring a lot of hits from the net, searches etc..generated traffic etc

guess that held true, lol

I browse there sometimes

Fun to look over my old verses
Or I remember so-and-so had a dope verse/line and want to re read it
Or sometimes I read stuff from ppl I've newly considered dope so I'm interested to read their work

For the last two, the motivation is pretty much the same as why I'd drop in to the NBL or Open Mic forum and read things in there

easy to imitate a text style

structure and format

also concepts and concept delivery

i'm not w/ that use a style someone else use tho

I write how I like to write, fuck what ya' niggas think

hence why everyone always say I have a style of my own

some may not like it, but fuck'em

it's how I enjoy writing and nothing going to change that

you sound like you know a lot about it...

I do

been doing this text shit on and off since '99 pal

It's mostly Google spiders, i.e. bots. They are in the archives because that's the largest network of threads on the site. Idk for sure tho, somebody tole me this. Think it was Dave, so I can't really get confirmation tho.

this is the correct answer.

better than then 450 spambots and scripts trying to break into PR throughout july.

When I looked I i was scouting out the comp seeing who's who on here

I'm in there trying to imitate Strikta's style, tbh.
