i know i've suggested shitloads of things, but these could really help bring in new members. this place has already got a decent number of active members, and its got potential to get real big.
1) i've already suggested this, but downloads should help a helluva lot in getting more members in, thousands of people go to albumbase, and if we keep submitting links there with the site URL as the password, theres a big chance that a lot of em will come here.
2) we got a good number of decent battlers here, so we should be holding some tournaments instead of just random battles. maybe even a league, but it'd probly be better to get more members before starting one.
3) i know you're already on the rapworlds voting thing, but you won't get many votes by only having the link in the affiliates table. you should add the banner somewhere on the homepage. same with the rap 100 topsites thing
4) not really to do with getting new members, but you could rearrange the boards a bit. "Anything Else" should be renamed to "General Talk" (or something like that), and switch positions with Trade centre. and there are too many boards in the artist and tournaments section. "Hip Hops Best Kept Audio", "State Of Mind" and "Tha Smoothest Poet" should all just be merged into "The Cypher", with maybe a subforum for audio. "Classic Text" & "Classic Audio" should just be made into "Classic Battles", and this along with "Idol threats" should be made into subforums in "Ground Zero". And instead of making a new thread for votes etc, we should just have some kind of system of moving the threads that'll make it easier for voters, e.g. make a thread in Idol Threats calling someone out, then when it's set up, mod moves it to ground zero, then both drop their verses, then mod moves it to Polling Arena, and once all the votes are in, mod moves it to Classic battles. this'll make it easier for people to see what callouts havent been answered and what battles still need votes.
i know its a lot lol ;D
