RIP Netcees 2.0
 

I doubt there gonna be a 3.0 tbh

Texting dead as fuck

Reason I quit battling in the BA cuz the mods ain't even updating records and shit smh

This site needs life support



RIP

Which battles were not updated?

I'm talking in general

Sharp doing a good job but I gotta remind peeps I need my record updated

It's all about topicals.

Rest in Pieces.

Who cares about text anyways?

It's played out, it sucks now...let it die with some dignity.

Yo Snake eyes that nigga

YOu suck at in sighting arguments

Lol plz.

No argument is needed, I speak truth.

Indeed but at the same time, so is Storm Shadow.

Netcees Discussion and Netcees Text Battling needs to be separated like them shits is church and state tbh.

If niggas wanna text, there's a section for that. @Witty speaks the truth, if it's gonna die let it die, maybe it'll be like the Phoenix and one day rise from the ashes, hopefully with less corny nameplays and gun references.

I've pretty much done all I want to do in text right now, from topicals to battles to disses to cyphers. Shit, it's not much creativity happening rite nows.

But yo, I know one day I'll get inspired and be back at it, just gotta let that shit happen, can't force it.

The problem with text is a next generation never took it over from us relics of the early 2000s

there was the OGs that started in the chat room days
then the early ezboard/other shitty board template cats like Mr. Art / Sha77er / Wally bombmics of the late 90s
then the early 2000s phpbb and vbulletin era cats.. longbar or shortbar or whatever..

New blood basically dried up around 2004. I'd say you'd be hard pressed to find more than 10 text battlers that started after 2006. If you look at this board (and I'd bet probably most others), the population is 90% old heads from the golden ages. The old guard can't carry text forever.

I agree with @Batty and @anime_boners although I had my first text battle in 2012, always just stuck to topicals before that, and I have only had like 10 max and I'm pretty sure I could pose a threat to some top dudes.

Btw whoever made that tag melted my heart a little.

that would be interesting to see how many people started in the last few years

That in bold is truth

All new members are alias of old heads.

I haven't seen an actual noob in years

Back in the day everyone had their own style for battling. Now all you faggots try and sound the same, then complain that you're bored of it. You did this to yourselves you linear minded unoriginal cowards

#ArtofWriting

I remember Wally Bombmics hahaha.

We need another 8 mile.

It's funny we used to make fun of the new kids who only started battles after 8 mile.. but it was probably the highest peak of text. Freestyle Friday on 106 n Park was relevant and garnering interest, and 8 Mile really gave the concept of battling mainstream interest..

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
