This shit is just sad emoji's all around. RapDogs owner had some fucking idiot super moderator doing whatever he wanted and that site died within months of him deleting a battle he lost and and comments making mention of it. I don't know much about the RapMusic situation, but when they did the switch to CrowdGather that was the tipping point, and Erik Foreman took the members that didn't already go to OTBVA, and created RMBVA - dead within months, too. I'm guessing Jook or Janitor sold it, but can't confirm.
But fuck the admins on this site in all seriousness though. I could understand having life circumstances you gotta deal with, but at least pass the torch off to somebody willing to breathe life, or at the very least maintain it, be active, and engage the community. 4 admins, and only 1 of them active. Shit's a lost cause. What incentive would anybody have to leave a site more active to come to this shit hole? There is none.
The only reason I am still here is because they have the Cypher forum, and a lot of the other boards are just people trolling each other, which I can only take so much of. But yea, nix the idea of revitalizing this forum, because the only time somebody in charge was willing to do something about it was when this site split into two in 2005 or so, or when Token made RIA.
