There are plenty of other competitive writing outlets / websites available if you’re looking to write during the downtime.

They just aren’t rap forum related.

Any you know of that follow a similar format? I.e

Two or more people write something shortish about a given topic, others compare the entries and vote on which they liked best - with that feedback and others’ entries being available to read?

Nah, I was talking more like creative writing outlets where they set one topic and anyone / everyone writes and submits something and then they announce a winner (or top three?) then it repeats over.

The moderator(s) usually just declare who they think won.

I agree with @Cereal with the hiphop aspect. Why? Unique writing format and culture that you don't see in other writing communities. 16 bars, focus on creative/unique styles and schemes, rules are lenient but still got to be up to par. More focus on actual content than having 100% correct grammar, slang/muddier language is accepted etc. It's its own thing and easier to get into but hard to master. In a way I guess you could say slam poetry covers this as well but it's not the same and it also lacks the audio portion of it all which I think this side and RB tend to disregard a lot.
