I read it all, and it's almost correct. The original rapbattle was not a .com and was started in '98. It was run by a Luciano, I assumed it was the dope one we all had come to know and love. In 2000 is when the .com emerged, then so on with the story. Rapbattle had over 2,000 members at the time of the merger...the 900 member mark for Rapbattles was right on the money I believe.
