The EXACT moment this site died...
 
It was gradual at first...

But, this site began to die when battling became a chore...well, the voting on battles became a chore...

Remember back a few years when you'd drop a vote on a battle, then someone could get it removed because they simply didn't like it or you?

That = the end of RV.




On top of that, people were pertinacious and refused to change. "Q is gay" jokes from 2004 were still being used, unsuccessfully, in 2007-2008.

That = DEATH to a rap site because I was one of the best rappers on this site.


The final dagger was when the lounge became more exciting than the Songs forum or the battle forums...People wanted to yap it up. Inactivity and lack of voting on battles killed this site.


That = DEATH...


The only way this site can be revived is with new management.

Who cares? It's fine how it is. Shut up, for once.

Maybe that will revive it.

Im actually have fun on this site again, it only dies if you refuse to get involved in things. So i guess YOU died on this site, the site didnt die.

The site died when every time you went to LL you saw 4-5 threads made by Tha Q describing how good he is and everybody disagreeing.

Were gonna have to shock em!

I long for the day we have a big site audio collab like a mega one blood remix type but were not co-ordinated enough.

maybe your oversized ego killed it..
"i was the best on the site.."
rather than continuing upon your assertion of what killed the site.. you get into stuff that bothers you..

man shit, i take it for what it is...

this is a site where people talk about hip hop and life and whatever... if i had more time on my hands id probably do some text battles... if my computer wasnt surrounded by a heap of other computers and people around all the time id probably do some audio battles which i dont really feel like doing at the studio...

if it so happens that things ease up a little over the weekends then i might sort these things out..

you got to be pretty choosy about who you battle these days though because cats are shifty and theres no such thing as crowd reactions, you cant really diss the way people look, or the oponents style or personality as well as you can when its real life either..

thats sort of what shits me about battling online..

but topical battling is alright if you got a good oponent...

gotta agree on the battle aspect online is a completely different element as opposed to seeing a man and ripping him ...here if you battle everything is witty metaphores and if not its "ohhh that was weak no punches"in person you can just cut em up cuz you prolly can gather more knowledge...

I'm actually enjoying the site as it is right now. VTL is getting a bigger population and people are dropping pretty hard in there, sick open mics are dropped more consistently which get feedback from respectable heads who know a thing or two about writing, and LL is filled with less bullshit threads (such as this, no offense) but not to the point where you can't joke around.

I dig it.

Edit: I forgot you said that a reason this site "died" was because you get called gay. Now, that's very kind of you to compliment yourself like that, saying you're one of the best rappers on the site, but what does that have to do with the site dying? Talented people come in and out of this forum all the time and people could care less. I'm only going to say this once, and don't take it to the heart. Get over yourself.
