Ideas and Opinions

[God Of War]

I want your ideas and opinions on what can make this site attract more people, more welcome, get more writers and competition here. I have been to a good amount of other sites and theres still a good amount of text cats writing there just split up and there is plenty of oppertunity to get a good bit more competition here


so I come to the people that make this site work,,,the users

give your ideas and opinions and maybe we can find something to expand and have a wider variety of competition


what do you think about a front page?


as i said nothing is certain and its all ideas I am just looking for opinions so dont come in saying "thats dumb or stupid as fuck" because yeah

[Witty]

I hate meeting new people.

[Witty]

Also, I came here because some of you guys invaded RIA and I became intrigued.

I was not aware of other sites.

So basically, we should all just troll the shit out of every active to semi-active forum. Worked for me.

[Sharp]

i remember i found old NC thru one of those attached sites like textbattles.com or whatever... something that grabs keywords out of search engines would be big for grabbing new or older people

we should be on the first page of google results for 'text battles', and if a front page could do that its prolly worth exploring. or get something like that textbattles.com site

[Certain]

I like that there is no homepage. Homepages generally are useless.

One thing I can't quite understand is why "Spot Light" right now features a crew battle that hasn't started instead of a big tournament that is in the finals.

I also think, as someone else brought up, the picture sizes need to be standardized, both in posts and in avatars. That would clean up the site a bit.

[Witty]

Also I should get paid for posting.

my thing about a front page is you can make it about the writing on the site....i hate when front pages is about other shit but about site shit it may make people want to achieve that...u write...u write dope it will be showcased and etc

dont know if i said that properly if u dont know what i mean i will try to explain it better

[God Of War]

lmao negative


but u are my homey so nice try

yeah but what size would be the best and ia gree about the spotlight tbh

[Animosi T]

I think the color scheme is a bit boring. The banner could be updated. Maybe make a VIP group to those who refer "x" amount of people, to get people to get Netcees' name out. Organize the forum - meaning look over the sub-sections to make sure they look structured and maybe add/delete some sub sections.


I got a couple other ideas, but all in all, it's this is purely text battling, you can't expect a bunch of people to be interested in it.

[Witty]

Dammit lol

[Allen Knight]

Im wit witty on just invading other sites an trollin

[Animosi T]

Im wit witty on just invading other sites an trollin
But, that wouldn't really get more posters, it would just make the forum look like trolls/desperate.

[SiK]

Maybe there should be a 'Main Page' when you first type the url....Like spotlighting the current champions and info on up and comers, and maybe have a small amount of hip hop news at the bottom....Also I think the site needs a more modern look something more sleek...I might have more ideas later

[Certain]

One (non-rap) message board I frequent has photos set to automatically resize to 400 pixels wide, then you can click for the full-size image.

[Witty]

History suggests otherwise.

[Nigma]

We need to stop being assholes to the new members

[Sho Money EMG]

Maybe a video chat... Also a freestyle room audio and chat

[Sho Money EMG]

Maybe work on a new skin too

[Coup]

create a poetry section

Also a good idea, I think this would be cool ... Maybe have some belts too again

[SiK]

We need to stop being assholes to the new members

I agree with this somewhat....Let them get here and get a feel for shit before you go in on them....That way they are settled in and some shit talking wont scare them off same day

Also maybe more professional/motivated admins/mods

There are multiple color choices in the bottom left of the site. I use the orange soda skin.

[Witty]

Let's definitely not have a video chat.

[Sharp]

problem with trolling is we also get those threads that wont die with guys like lyrical lawrence and that lyrical assault day lmaoo

there's got to be a better way to siphon membership if thats what we're looking for, this site is definitely one of the best to be on and has its own draws between the competition and opportunities to do pretty much anything text related. its just a matter of making it known on other sites in other ways

True but the skins are too plain and boring ... Need something more

[Sho Money EMG]

Just an idea lol

I agree ... Maybe add more to the text battles as far as records and winnings ... I also think the spotlight section would b a great idea

[Meth]

Let's not over complicate things guys.

One of te things that makes netcees, netcees is the simplicity.

[Sho Money EMG]

This is true @ meth, but alittle style doesn't hurt

[Allen Knight]

Fuck a home page n no new skin were known for the green an white. But we could be a little nicer to
Newer ppl :/

[Witty]

Site vs Site battles.

They never work tho, but if by some sort of magic it could actually happen it would benefit us, we have great writers in all areas and when other writers see it they will want to join in.

Even if they don't admit it, they will come.

[Animosi T]

Well here's my final list:

1) Not be assholes to the new members. Telling them 'picture verification' is needed for battles. Because, you get less battles that way.

2) Better voting. I think it is safe to safe others think Netcees has a lot of DR'ing votes, which turns of members from battling here. I know you can't stop dickriders from dickriding, but there could be options to minimize it.

3) Get a VIP group for those that get a certain number of referrals. Possible make a VIP sub-sections for those that do this, or give them some kind of gift.

4) Organize the forum a bit. Discussion is a bit messy, imo. Could use some sub-sections like music/sports, etc to keep the topics separated.

[Witty]

I literally wouldn't still be here if people weren't assholes to me when I came here.

[Meth]

Site vs site battles have never and will never work tbh

[Sharp]

we consistently have said we'd be nicer to new guys, then one new guy comes along and is a faggot and we forget about that

but generally we've been accepting, outside of the occasional attempt at getting a roast

and pretty much every text site is notorious for dickriding its own guys, in my experience NC is one of the better ones as far as fair voting. the issue usually comes down to someone coming here and dropping like its a live battle and not being hailed like a god


but yeah, more motivation to write and compete on this site in general could go a long way. we've always got leagues/tourneys going on but we need more competition to make it work better. we have the membership, its just a matter of less people competing than there could be

[God Of War]

i agree about being nicer to people i also agree about the ismplicity

however i think a fornt page can showcase the talent we have

netcees is talented as fuck with the writing and itd be dope to showcase that so when people click there like "wow this looks dope they take pride in there writing and they reward for being dope at it" imo

[Sho Money EMG]

This is a very talented site, I just don't see why it's so important to not be welcoming to new members lmao

[Witty]

Tbh I'm just gonna be an asshole to everyone.

Business as usual.

[Allen Knight]

Stfu gamble cuz cheatin pathetic faggots like u come around im bout to ban u for a week for the memory of u votin for ur self

Lol, you can't vote for yourself and expect the rest of the people to respect you....


In all honestly, I think the site is doing fine, we just need to get it's name out there and refer more people here.

[Joe Metts]

RM vs. B-Boys is the only successful site vs. site battle in history.


But gow you know my ideas.

Adding subsections of the discussion forum or creating a VIP group would be enough to get me to leave. Not that I matter.

Discussion is discussion. It should be an open forum for anything that is not directly related to creating our own rap, be it text or audio. I also like that there's no audio forum.

Splitting shit up creates inactivity. Creating subforums creates inactivity and fails in the pursuit of welcoming new members.

arlgith i skimmed this whole fucking thread

-homepages r blah, u can make one, but generally ppl just skip over them...they look nice upon original viewing, but after that no one reads it and its one more hassle to get to the forum

-vidchat would fail horribly...i would say a chatroom type thing, or even a 'hearme' type chat, but that would all detract from discussion forum

-site vs site battles dont work now, but they used to work all the time actually Mike Wrecka for cc vs us vs dynasty vs cjm and all that

-nice to new members blah @ that, if that cant take it then fuck em, who wants a fuckin pussy around ne ways

-trolling other forums; okay

and

thats because most front pages caterto hip hop celebrities, this would cater strictly to the site , put om verses on focus, battles, writers, battlers etc


also yeah no chats what so after its a forum we dont need chats we can just post


newbies dont want to come here and auto get jumped on by fifty peole there going to leave. thats gay we want more competition, more writers etc

[Rawn M.D.]

blah thats w/e

and im not a fan of frontpages, never read them, and its one more click till i get to where i want to be tbh

only thing i can say kinda productive is

invite vulgar to host his art competitions here, ppl seem to like that sht and it will get new members (maybe even make a sub-forum for it) for like art n gfx; who knows maybe some of them write...and its eye candy.

that is all
