    I'm sure he has goals with this site. There are ways to move him further towards his goals while also keeping this shit serving the people.
    he wants a crazy amount if he ever does sell probably. I don't think it's worth much more than that other than for the name.

    dude won't sell unless you put up six figures. if he ever does sell it I hope he does it to somoene that is familar with the site.

    this site is basically saying, hey look what domain I own, I own rap battles!

    I guess being able to say that is worth more than money.

    I can actually see this site selling to a popular battle league one of these days, I wonder if strobe has been shopping that around.

    if I got it then there would be a different platform indeed, and monetizable goals.

    who woulda even thunk that RB could of been something admins are making a living off of.

    so I see his point to an extent, I have domains I won't sell unless it retires me.

    True but I wouldn't want to own the domain at all.

    I don't want to own or control any of the assets. Just pay the costing and fixed costs, in order to influence / dictate content until when / if he decides to sell the asset as a whole.

    Adding value while paying to do so.

    There were forums back in 2009 (when the site was very active) where people were trying to buy the site. It aint happening.

    I joined in 2010 and was warned how people can be on here, I didn’t see it for a while besides my first violation one of the first things I posted cause I said “I thought he was my band aid but he ended up being my bubu” which I still don’t know why cause it was his nickname and I thought it was hot. I think it was to Venus vs mArs. I’ve learned a lot since though and am grateful, I also learned I don’t write as well as I once thought I did compared. One thing I didn’t learn was how to get along with others when in the face to face world - it was never my problem - fuck it. I’m still grateful for the site.

    Re: It's been 15 years...

    People have been trying to buy this site for 20 years. It'll never happen, that in turn is a massive shame.

    If this could get anywhere near where it was between 2002-2008 it'd be fucking epic.

    Site has a pretty decent battle scene going on. Obviously not like it was but it’s better than any other rap forum out rn

    Forums are just a thing of the past I guess, newer generation would rather spend time on the internet by going on Snapchat, instagram, etc. it’s too much of a dying breed but we’re lucky to have some loyal heads that have stuck around and look to keep it going as long as possible

    RB in it's hayday was up there with the best sites on net.
    RM was always the top site but RB held it's own with it's loyal members.
    There was Rhyme n Reason by Jay Krupp and Therhymepaper by paperback, Those were the good old days.
    Hence Forward

    I would assume he's keeping it as a long term investment in case someone comes offering something significant. Which hopefully doesn't happen coz all this will go away.

    It sucks coz we could probably get this place bumping again with more control
