Just having a look around my old hanging place on la web.
The one certifiable thing that will drive people to this website is a blog. This is coming from myself ( a web designer/ developer)... either you turn the top domain - i.e rapverse into a blog or some sort of online magazine... You get traffic by posting hiphop news / lyrics / videos / mixtapes for download etc and then the people who use the site for that will make the forum active etc...

has strobe ever posted what he would sell the domain and forum for?
