yo community
On behalf of the community if you're going to use our registration as a member to enslave us and do the work you as an admin are expected to complete then let me be the first to tell you to go blow it out your ass faggot. YOU need to change the forum skin. YOU need to provide the logo. YOU need to make a banner. YOU need to get your fucking act together and cowboy the fuck up. I want to see a shitload of progress in the next 24 hours or so help me god I will stick my dick so far down your throat Zelph will be able to suck it from your asshole.

Fine, let's use that logo. Make the forum skin blue and there you have it. You have 24 hours to get it done. Don't let me catch you logging off motherfucker.

Re: yo community, we need graphics and shit.
admins don't have to do everything, you don't need powers to do this shit, either help out or stop complaining.
activity is going to soar if I put new skins up in 24 hours!
it would take me more time to make a skin than it would you to make graphics.

Re: yo community, we need graphics and shit.
Here you are making fucking excuses. If you don't want the responsibilities of an admin then step the fuck down. I can't believe a moderator has to scold an admin for letting the site go to shit. And yes, you do need powers to make the necessary changes. You want us to do the work for you so it makes your job easier. Talking about we need to come together as a community, gtfoh with that bullshit. You always clamor on about how the site is dead but refuse to make any effort whatsoever to give it the attention that it needs. How can a site named Netcees be more active than a site named RapBattles? Tell me that. If I were to google text battle rap who would show up first. I'll tell you why. Because you ain't doing shit but making excuses.

Re: yo community, we need graphics and shit.
eat a dick, you have no idea how many times I saved this site from literal death, if it wasn't for me helping out a year ago you might not have even had a RB to come to, I had to do some ninja shit to get this site back up, because the backups was outdated, if we left the site like that, we would have lost a ton of shit, including site records, those records was gone and would have been if I didn't do what I did, it took a lot of time to do it, you can't just put up a new skin especially if its something your making your self, it takes time. stop blaming the admins for shit, this place was a fucking mad house back in the day with activity, and normal members ran everyone away, when I say the sites dead, the entire culture is dead, no one wants to do this shit, we are the last of the dying breed, and there is no way to bring this shit back, many good men have already tried everything in there power to bring this shit back.
you keep forgetting that I'm only here to do one thing, if I do anything else it's out of the goodness of my heart, not because someone told me to do it, so if I was planning on making a skin, you will have to wait longer now.
I don't make graphics, it's not my responsibility to get them made, this is a community effort again.
you don't ask the maintenance man to promote and remodel your store rofl.
I am like the custodian up in this bitch, don't pay me no mind.
and stop complaining about the state of the site in the public area, I'm doing what I can here to get some shit made for the site, you want me to fucking create the shit my self when I aint opened photoshop in decades rofl?
I'm not the only admin here and the lowest in the todem pole in terms of who is "responsible" for shit.

Re: yo community, we need graphics and shit.
Lol. I will redo the color scheme on that.. later this week. its gotta be re done anyway, shape wise.
And as an old graphics head here.. admins have always reached out to rb's graphics community when they needed shit for the site.
Normally someone in charge of a site would be responsible for hiring a designer but considering theres a graphics section here. Its not out of line

yea, there isn't even nothing wrong with the current skins, we could use some new ones tho.
changing the skin up aint going to do shit.
thanks tho, that logo would be dope if its edited for a darker bg.
I attempted to get this done a year ago and no one would help out.

Re: yo community, we need graphics and shit.
Back in the day GFX heads always helped skinning the forums. However at the look of the graphic section im not surprised it's not active.
How often is there feedback left there. This site is unfortunately un active changing the skin no matter how dope a job you think you can do will not change a thing

thats my thought process but having a dope pleasent skin will keep people around here longer, if I have the proper resources it won't take long to make a skin based of the graphics.

I was helping gow out for years before I was even admin, if there was ever a coding problem he came to me. that's why I said you don't need to have powers to do shit.
now I just pop in if something happens.
I log in everyday to check in on stuff tho.

Re: yo community, we need graphics and shit.
Why hasn't anything been done? I registered an RB Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, and Twitter account almost 2 months ago and haven't been able to do any advertising because this cocksucker Dia would rather have everybody come together as a community so he doesn't have to do shit. This site needs to be rebuilt ground up because it isn't attracting new visitors. You hear me Dia? You fucking vagabond. I want you dead.

Re: yo community, we need graphics and shit.
@Mike G.
I know you're not an admin but now you have a huge responsibility and I hope that you and I can work together as friends and one day possibly be more than that to each other. We need you to redo the default forum skin and logo. The color scheme should be breathtaking and attractive to new visitors. This needs to be accomplished soon. Next, you have to hide the forums with no activity. Only make the ones that have traffic visible. This will make the site appear frequented and flush with interaction. After you have finished that, we need you to provide graphics for our social media outlets. You should do this regularly, one new graphic for each day of the week should suffice but if you are willing to do more than that then we will be grateful. From here on out you are assigned the task of promoting the site with your graphics and video packages. You will also need to register accounts at other sites and spam our content. Also, you will oversee the maintenance of battle hacks. But this isn't at the top of our to-do-list. What you have to concentrate on now is the remodeling of the site. I will assist you with words of encouragement and post threads about how important it is for the community to help you handle your obligations. Thank you for your hardwork and sacrifice. You will have many sleepless nights and might need to find a more suitable job that accommodates the time you spend working here. You have my support and if you need anything from me to help you expedite the completion of these goals I am more than happy to find somebody else to carry out what you ask of me.

@Dia
you still haven't done shit. Quit relying on other people to do the fucking work for you. If all you are good for is playing with stupid ass battle hacks then have the decency to step the fuck down from your position. You are a fucking blight. It's always "we don't need to do this" or "we don't need to do that". Gtfoh snowflake. You have no credibility. You wiped your ass with this site now it's on you to make things right. Get to it.

that was my position dumb ass.
anything extra is a bonus.
i do everything that doesn't involve me getting into politics of the site. ( which is why I haven't banned no one, and would ask permission first. )
if you take this shit seirously, you would have showed work that shows that, all I asked for was a couple of things. I'm not creating graphics or going out of my way to get them made other than what I have already done, if no one is willling to help out I don't know what to tell you.
those graphics you made to promote that stupid league looks better than this shit.
until i'm giving the keys and take over RB I'm not going out of my way to promote either other than social media post and shit like that, which I doubt none of you have done, we have like 10-15 folks stopping by, if half of you posted on social media about the site, we would be in good shape.

Re: yo community, we need graphics and shit.
Bro im not here to critique dia as an admin.. im clueless as far as what he has or hasnt done done for the site.. and I really dont care.
As far as an admin asking members to make graphics.. so what.. he didnt demand anything from me I simply offered to remake a logo I did years ago & thats it. Youre talking like im somebodies flunkie cause I offered to make a logo lol.
People who make graphics and post them to forums do it as a hobby.. they arent professionals. Like you text battle as a hobby. And someone whos actually aspiring to be a designer has to do shit for free to build a portfolio if they ever wanted to show potential clients their work. Plenty of people would do that shit for free without the ordering around and the deadlines.
Who actually owns this site?? Who pays the bills every month? Whos profiting off ad revenue if there even is any. They are really the one responsible for status of the site.
Anyone who chooses to moderate here or contribute at all is doing so at their own will.

Re: yo community, we need graphics and shit.
strobe owns the site, but he doesn't come here, no one makes any ad revenue.

Re: yo community, we need graphics and shit.
We definitely need a new skin the logos & banners that have been used here the past couple years are trash.. not that im even half decent but I get confised by the artwork getting used here.. the visual aspect of any site is huge

yea I just don't want to put crap up there for the sake of having a new skin, I'm not even entirely sure if a skin change would be approved by the higher ups. I can careless what the damn skin looks like tho as long as its clean and I know where everything is, and I can count on one finger how many times I said, oh wow lookie at this fucking banner!

Re: yo community, we need graphics and shit.
Here's what's going to happen. Absolutely fucking nothing. Dia will get nothing accomplished. No progress has been made whatsoever. The admins don't even care. Don't expect me to help do shit. I will just focus on not losing the few active members we have left.
@Dia
is a lazy bum who doesn't do shit except make excuses as to why he isn't making any attempts to revive this site.

This fucking idiot thinks the skin we have now is perfectly fine. Jesus Christ. No wonder this site is so fucking hopeless right now.

Re: yo community, we need graphics and shit.
yall can sit here and argue over this and that, over skins, over whos responsibility is what, etc...
the only thing that would give RB and even slight chance of becoming more than just a memory you can log onto(which lets be for real thats about all it is now), is to ditch VBulletin, the entire oldschool forum format in general...
and someone code an entirely new way of doing this...one that integrates all popular social media into it...and which the mechanics you operate in order to post are entirely different...
something more like a social media network..
on-site audio/graphical/text piece hosting that is self-advertised at random throughout the site, while simultaneously pushing them through the popular social media outlets...
going to take an active, dedicated hip hop news team to keep interesting articles flowing through here linked to social media with titles that make people want to click, that bring them back here...
live, on the spot video/audio batrtling that people can start up without making plans and signing up and having to upload to 3rd party places to post...
theres a lot more i could say here...but it's not worth going into full detail, because nobody here has the technical expertise necessary... a bunch of us put together could have that expertise, but workng together to create a better site is something that people have been trying to do for years and it just doesn't work...
main obstacle is Strobe... he doesn't want to sell the place, and apparently refuses to communicate with anyone who wants to run it...
so what you have here is an archive of how things useds to be, that you can still use and participate in...

I want to do something like that, for what I'm thinking would take a lot of time, id must really love the site if i do that.
we would have to get everyone to switch over, migrate our member database, which would piss people off even more.
all that time into creating something like that only for nothing to happen, if you paint a cow green, it's still a cow that will be slaughtered.
and to be honest if I created something that elaborate I wouldn't put it on RB. cuz I would promote that thing to the fullest and I would get my money back tin fold, so I can promote even more, I just don't think RB is stable enough for that right now, I can promote the shit out of shit, and it could be gone tommorow.
I am strongly considering making something like LB that has no ties to vbulletin what so ever other than merging members over. then we'd have the forums to talk about shit and promote the app.
what I'm thinking off would require a better host that would be more expensive, so we can have live battles and shit that's hosted on our platform and not elsewhere.
only thing that needs to happen right now that will improve activity is to archive the records and build back up the battle section, I been pushing for that for years, everyones active af when there trying to get a killer record.

Re: yo community, we need graphics and shit.
@Dia
I'm going to need you to coordinate with Mike G. to get the logo completed and have it replace the current one. While he is busy on that, I need you to finalize the color scheme of our new default skin. It should accentuate the logo. I know we haven't necessarily been friendly to each other but I hope we can establish a mutual respect for one another. To accomplish this, you are going to have to refrain from being harsh and insensitive to me and the other members. Let's work together. There is no reason for us to bicker or engage in uncouth discourse.
-
Re: yo community, we need graphics and shit.
shut the fuck up you arent organizing this, I been wanting a new skin for awhile and that don't happen till I get some graphics, the graphics inspire me to make a dope ass skin. ( well if the graphic is dope af lol )
no logo will be replaced, the logo will be put on a brand new skin.
and you probably scared any members away from doing shit now.
