its pretty simple...each person needs to be producing quality content

the most crippling damage this site has taken has been the multiple site crashes

people get discouraged when months of progress are lost

everytime the site has crashed we have lost key members and even nobodys that just provided bodys to contribute

as it stands we have a core group of like 20 people that either don't like most of eachother or are simply bored of the others by having seen them post for nearly 10 yrs.

for me the exchange of time vs gratification or even appreciation is just not sufficient

too many times we let horrible off-putting shitposters linger on the board until they start to force good members to lose interest in logging in under the guise of some stupid wild west persona that nc lost 3 years ago


you still have text battlers and topical writers that ghost the board and would log in instantly if they saw a league operating successfully with detailed mags consistently for multiple weeks...but people refuse to work together to achieve this and nobody is willing to dedicate themselves on their own to this type of obligation...especially to a bunch of thankless dickheads who typically cant even reciprocate by participating in the league with verses and votes properly.

as far as the podcast...the site crash was a huge blow but the lack of vision of the majority of this site was equally crippling...the first podcast had 3k views in a day and despite every fucking thing we said in the podcast about moving away from text and making the site more mainstream sharp nine takes the energy and starts a text tournament and then starts a war with the podcast forcing a division of views

fucking legit moron shit.

15 page social media rants consisting of 4 members on the site are horribly off-putting to the rest of the community that come here for music, jokes, text, writing etc


this place lost its identity a long time ago and until individual people start making an effort to actually make worthwhile contributions the site will perpetually spiral downward until its just 2 crip posting horse pictures that get a reply 2 weeks later from robranda asking him if hes audio.
