That wasn't it, it killed disc. a bit but not the site. What killed the activity on site the most is toxicity, "500 word essays" and bullying of people. Not caring about boundaries etc. and having tons of fun with that. Not singling anyone out, I've been part of a couple mishaps as well, just not to the same degree. I tried to talk about it when it first started happening and I did my best to make new members stay, but no one was listening. We lost at least 2-3 new active members willing to learn in the span of a few weeks, one of which just quit music altogether. Where's the positive in that? That coupled with vetoing no to a merge between RB and NCs was the final nail in the coffin.

You can get a donation thing up, the HTTPS stuff and server costs ain't that huge. If you want activity you need to do a proper rehaul of the site in terms of the way shit is run. Stuff like mixtapes (there's more and more audioheads now) is great for both networking, good shit to listen to and a sense of community. I still listen to a few of my fav tracks from the CC mixtapes Vol.1-5 (or however many they made) from time to time
