Most of us only come here because we've been here for so long and there's that nostalgic value towards it, but even the most reputable of hip hop forums have the dedicated members they had from the beginning, give or take a few that came later on.


    No audio head will be coming back because there's just no incentive to. This site is a niche that only appeals to less and less people as the years go by. It's outdated, and a drastic overhaul of this site would be needed to even give it one half of a fighting chance against what's out there now. No amount of dress up is gonna change the fact that there's much more efficient ways to network with your peers than this. Even the admins don't want to advertise it - that says a lot.

    Lounge is the only thing still alive because in essence it's a Facebook wall before there was a Facebook. Just random shit (incl. rap topics) all in one central location, without adhering to a unified conformity. It's everything you want in one place with minimal effort to access it. Not even switching around forum locations is gonna change that.
    you use to many big words!

    I was just saying when forums where active as fuck, I was literally a teenager, ( 33 now ) nearly almost 2 decades of this shit "dying".

    there is enough people on social media from those days, to bring that back, but they need a reason to come back to forums and stuff.

    I was thinking like a little hof reunion thing and tagging said people on social media and linking them up back here.

    make it like an event radio show, with someone wiling to host the shit.

    ^ Yeah, unfortunately all those ideas are as old as these forums are. Shit's just a mirror reflection of what social media USED to be. This shit's the fucking Geocities of social media.

    I think social media has a big part to do with it.. but theres still plenty of extremely active forums. I mean look at reddit or 4 chan. Theyre interference is alot different but still very live forums.

    Dia that idea sounds dope.. I definitely never added anyone from rb on fb though. I think I follow ric on instagram thats about it

    yea rap related sub reddits are active, but it's hard to get those people to come from reddit back to traditional forums, that one site rmbva or otbva are pretty active only because they pirate kotd events and shit. I forgot the one.

    when Broke Lesnar made that thread trolling Dia about fixing up the site, i had laid out the only thing that would make this site relevant again...

    that still stands...

    no amount of attention is going to fix the place if its not going to be completely overhauled and integrated into a social media vibe....if it stays in a forum format, nothing will change...

    Yeah, they know having us talk about it over and over is the only thing giving this site activity, cause it sure as shit ain't coming from the other forums on this site. #StayWOKE

    one of my accounts is just for people I know online, so I don't get no one on my personal shit.

    everyone I have on there already knows about RB though.

    I doubt there is anyone that does this, that doesn't know about RB
    No bro - speak for YOURSELF. I'm pretty sure people don't dedicate social medias just for "Online friends" faggot.

    Don't have time for that shit nor do I care to ever add someone I do not know on a social media platform. That is some weirdo shit.

    well then you don't really care about bringing this shit back if you aren't willing to go the extra mile.

    you just want someone else to do it.

    I'm not putting all that work into this site, and I can't just make a new platform, it has to bee agreed upon by all parties, and it has to be worth my while to, I was just asked to do one thing, I'm not remodeling the site to a new format, I have other work to do that I get paid for, and other work that id prefer to do over this haha.

    if I do any of that, I will just create my own shit, or someones giving me the keys to this bitch tbh.

    you don't ask the janitor of your store, to remodel the shit to, rofl.
