The reason why this site is dead.
 
Is simple.
.
.
.
.
.
.
In the aftermath of 8-Mile a whole crop of newbies came out trying to talk shit on the internet. The respected writers on RB took what they were saying to heart and destroyed all of them, one by one. This continued until the respected heads just got bored of all the "beef" online, and went to write creative pieces in Open Mic or Poetic Scriptues. This allowed the newbies to develop their skills in writing and some of them were able to drop half decent pieces in Open Mic or whatever. The problem was, and still is, is that there are very few newbies anymore who come to the website and try to talk poorly of the respected writers. And on the odd occasion where they do talk ill of these writers; the respected heads just blow them off as if they aren't even worth their time. What made RB so good back in the day was that there was no shortage of shit-talking on the website between it's members. It allowed for interesting text battles with alot of creative personals and made for an interesting read. Eventually, RB would split into RB and RV, with a good amount of the RB members switching to this site. Eventually, this site died off and now everyone is running back to RB to grace themselves in the talent of their members, rather than trying to develop this site from within. Basically, I want people to start talking shit. Make fun of kids. Start some fake beef for the sake of interesting text battles. And don't start with that ignorant shit about how nobody cares about text anymore and that this site is pure audio now. Fuck, half the battle when it comes to audio is your ability to write. It's time to put it to use.

That is all.

I say nutsack to that.

11-27-07 12:03 AM

Let me put it simple Pious.

Fuck you.

That is all. I tried. Now F.oo thinks he's trying - he's not.

My league was successful, now there are no leagues. I'm done helping out these fuckbags and I already made it clear weeks ago. That's why this site's dead.

Pious 11-27-07 12:03 AM

*sigh* yet another one line freepost from a nobody.

C.March 11-27-07 12:08 AM

haha from a nobody...... please kid.....

Chris Stylez 11-27-07 01:30 AM

I always thought the site died because of the strict voting system. When they require you to write out a high school essay worthy of a B just to vote. Then you get discouraged. No voting, battles dont get decided. If they dont get decided then people stop batteling.

Open mics died because of the encouragement to switch to audio. Well thats what i beleive. If you kill open mic and push people away from voting. The site is bound to go down. This is more of a Social Community than a rap community now a days. But hey i dont mind.

Is this some kind of joke?

What, are you writing a documentry dick brain?

Indeph 11-27-07 08:19 PM

This site died because people left and nobody joined. <--- brilliant

Dufflebag Boy 11-28-07 03:21 PM

what are people really doing to promote it?? u want more people to join then go around every site u can and encourage people to join. might be hard to convince anyone at first but obviously the more people there is the more fun it is. and it would help if strobe maybe updated this site and gave it some new shit. add some new shit to the text field and give the audio forum some new things too so it can encourage people to express themselves in music (what this sites supposed ta be about) instead of boring meaningless discussions

11-28-07 03:37 PM

Mystic. says 2v is the reason this site is dead.


He's the reason this site is an idiot.

^thats it...

thats pretty much all you need to do... The only problem is finding people with enough time to waste that would actually go and do it...

mostly when this site was alive and kicking, a majority of the people were around the age of 15. mainly just kids that didnt have jobs and still layed around the house all day when they're not at school.

people our age though is obviously gonna have a life. we got jobs to worry about and everything else but still would be alot better to visit when we are just killing time at home. and even if we do have other things ta do and we only go on once in a while, the more people there is the more likely someone else is gonna be online. right now theres just like 6 people that pretty much are all offline or online at the same time lol.

Terumoto 11-28-07 10:34 PM

This site isn't dead. wtf are you guys on about. It's a bit less active because of lack of promotion and thought.

Idiot kids who come on the internet looking for rap battle forums, like us a few years ago, aren't going to go to google and search for "rap verse." They're going to search for some lame shit like "rap battles" or "mc battles" or "rap music battles."

But anyway, we're still here... As long as there's some dude making a thread complaining about how dead RV is, we can rest assured that RV isn't dead.

Dufflebag Boy 11-28-07 10:38 PM

^^^if this site was still alive they'd find it even if they werent looking for it. and how can u say its not dead when everybody left and the remaining 5 people have quit writing and just setteled with meaningless chat for the past 3 years?

C.March 11-28-07 10:56 PM

I still say nutsack to this thread...

I guess you're right. We'll just ignore all of the battles that go on and audio heads that still hang around here and complain about how crappy the site is.

You're clearly exaggerating.

If this site was dead, there would be nobody on it. It would be completely inactive. If you're going to talk about something, use the right terms that accurately describe what you're saying. Say "I'm not satisfied with the level of battles and emcees and rap related stuff on this site, and I think something needs to be done about it," or something like that. Don't just spout crap about how it's "dead."

11-29-07 12:11 AM

yeah, we aren't rapbattles.com

we're rapverse.com

Rap verses, all alike accepted. We're clearly not dead. Just not super active.

Still, we'd have a lot more battles if I didn't close my league. I just had to though, for more than 2 reasons. :sleep:

like 2v said its not just a site for battling..its just rap in general which means it should be more active for everything. and since when did the battle forum get active?? i still got a battle open from september of LAST YEAR

Terumoto 11-29-07 01:12 AM

I mean active as in new battles continue to go up.

What have you done to get your battle closed? Have you been voting on other peoples battles and asking them to return the favor?

Chris Stylez 11-29-07 04:31 AM

I take back my thought. Harsher voting made batteling die on the site. And my next propsal should either end this thread or get a battle popping.

Next two posters have to battle eachother. Text or audio. Pick your candy bitches.

*Froze* 11-29-07 12:12 PM

Droppin' a 'graph on why the sites dead?
That's pretty gay man...

DiDiSi-Mp-Lucif 11-29-07 12:22 PM

ill battle?
im new so yall will have to set it up..
man theres noone online..
but id love to start battlin
froze u down?

i also think one of the problems is that wenever two new dudes battle u get shit said like "oh two whack heads at it" and shit...
and also.. people will just vote for vets or dickride merely cause of post record..
i mean obviously vets will get more votes... but some battles ive seen were even if not tilted towards a new dud and thje battle votes go 5-1 towards the vet... and the 1 = some dickrider lol meh..
i used to come here like 2 years aho.. alot more was hapenin back then.. but u also have to remember some people who battled back then are grown up n have kids n shit now... so yea.. alot of people have moved on to greater commitments..

but yea.. ill battle.. and since yall keep talkin bout no votes in battles.. u can get started as soon as our battle starts and ill return the favour.. haha

C.March 11-29-07 12:27 PM
