RIP Netcees 2.0

[Sick]

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

[Certain]

Which battles were not updated?

[Sick]

I'm talking in general

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

[Witty]

It's all about topicals.

Rest in Pieces.

[Witty]

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.

that "GOLDEN AGE" everyone references... that period from like 02-05, where myself and a lot of dudes favorite textheads came up in....where activity was at its peak and archives were born....

DURING that generation everyone was saying the e.x.a.c.t. same thing.



EVERY GENERATION THINKS THE WORLD IS GOING TO END WHILE THEIR GENERATION IS LIVIN' IN IT YO!


...and when it doesnt, the older generation tells the younger ones, who hear them but don't listen -- so the older gen keeps repeating themselves until history does and then, one magical morning, the younger gen wakes up to realize they've become the older gen in a world that STILL didnt fuckin end.

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'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

^This.
It's how the site is ran. How the noobs are greeted in an un welcoming fashion that prevents this site from growing. It's the aliases supporting each other and leaving even less room for a noob to get a fair shot. It's most of the communities fault what state the site and text is in. Blame yourselves.
This site has it's moments but it always veers back on the wrong path.
This may change with another site but netcees is but a burning coal now.
