good day

i changed the way hottest threads calculate, and now they are based on only the last 24 hours

the reason for it, i dont feel anyone is using it since no one cares about what threads were the hottest in the last 7 days...currently it feels like a stats more than a tool..so i changed it to be used as a tool...now if someone was off the forum all day and wanted to know which threads were the most active today he can easily with just

with the blog gone, i decided to start posting hip hop news very actively in here...and some threads started getting buried by huge active threads...so we came up with this

protip...hovering over thread show a very nice preview for thread... also @Slyk need to change color to white on dark theme i know

i decided to go with 3....you think i should try 5? i dunno 3 seems nice enough...right now i just want to fix the ugly review mod css and come up with the groups tag and im done for a while

like this post if you like this mod pls

 

Jun 25, 2015

finally, the anticapated mod is here...im gonna turn it on 5 minutes after i make this thread

Note: we will have an icon for it tomorrow, so right now it looks weird as f--- on mobile



the tab is smart. if there is 4 new reviews since last time you checked, it will show (4) on top of that tab...if you click reviews tab



if you click create review it takes you to


now, i have decided to enable everyone to review without moderation at launch...there is a big chance with time we will have certain groups with the powers to review WITHOUT approval...and rest will review...then mods will get an alert that there is a review awaiting approval...once approved it will be showed...but i will act on good faith and i will have it open for all for now...there is few pointers

1- troll reviewing: if you troll, your ability to review will be taken away for good...by trolling i mean straight up troll...if you want to give MMLP2 9.5 its fine as long as you give detailed explanation and thoughts

2- you can review anything you want, albums..songs...videos...movies

3- please use this standard so we can make use of the reviews search function, Artist name - Album/song Name , you can have your name anywhere if you want to include it in the title..just make sure you include artist and title..for example
@Narsh reviews MMLP2 by Eminem

after your review is finish, it will be in the reviews list



there is few css issues need to be fixed, please highlight them in this thread for @Slyk .. i just caught one in night theme...when you wanna rate reviews it looks like this


there are stars there but not visible lol

for reviewers, i recommend going to your alert perferences and edit some of them .. by default, you get alert for everything..if someone liked/commented/rated on your reviews, which can get annoying

so anyway, lets get it

Since this thread is supposed to be all about pictures, here are a few of the flyers which I've printed today (already spreaded a few to interested people):



Finding out how to make the colors look good was hard as f---, but it's all good now.

Now it's your turn bruhs

Let's spread the good word about SXN80.

I think those talking about marginalising the Eminem section to help this site grow are off-base. No one in hip hop has ever reached the level of obsessed cult-following fandom Em has had (and inexplicably continues to have...). The new blood for RB and SL was 90% Eminem fans: RB grew because of the D12 connection in the early days (if I remember right the last 2-3 years of its existence there were very few new members who were active and stuck around). SL grew primarily due to Koolo's leaks and the Straight from the Vault EP. Most rappers most listened to song on Spotify is whatever song of theirs features Eminem. Eminem fans also tend to be neekier and more autistic than say Drake or Kendrick (or whichever rapper is hottest atm), which are good traits to target if your aim is to rope people into actively posting on a hip hop message board for years. A lot of these fans can be moulded into good posters over time.

Anyway, my suggestions:
1. StudioLeaks should have never been shut down and re-branded. Kendrick stans are mostly part of that cohort of people (teens to early 20s now I guess) who have never used message boards and hold their online music discussions on sites like twitter, facebook or reddit. In the golden era of message boards, there weren't really any websites that EVERYONE seemed to be a member of like FB and Twitter. Once that started happening, the need to scope out smaller online subcultures to find people with similar interests as you diminished. That's okay, and message boards will probably still survive in the long-term as they're better for developing subcultures than huge social media sites owned by big corporations/funded by big money which are used by too many people and which end up pretty sanitised and censorious because the media will jump on anything controversial, and they have shareholders they're accountable to. But the rebrand from SL to S.80 (and the need for every single member of SL to re-register on a completely new site...one which had no downloads at all) hurt this site.
Even if Koolo stopped leaking, the eternal branding that site had from dropping so many leaks was gold...even now on youtube videos of the songs Koolo leaked there's often a lot of comments talking about StudioLeaks and Koolo...no mention ever of SectionEighty. There is no reason for anyone to ever find this site really. Dropping a tape of unreleased songs from the highest selling artist of the 21st century was basically a great marketing move that would have lasted for pretty much the rest of eternity. But it was wasted when the site was completely re-branded, just because Koolo stopped actively leaking.
2. Downloads section: I don't know about the legality behind this nowadays, but the downloads section is what kept me coming back to RB in my first couple years when I didn't really give a s--- about the rest of the site and didn't post much. By force of habit of logging in every day to check the new singles posted, I eventually checked out the rest of the site and became active. Without the downloads section I probs wouldn't have logged in much in my first year, and then forgot about it completely. If it is at all possible to have a Downloads section (preferably hidden to guests) then I think this would be a great idea to help the site grow.
3. Censorship: Probably a bit controversial, but what helped me to stick around on RB (and get more actively involved in the non-music discussions) was the trolling, savagery and lack of censorship. It stood out from the other hip hop boards I had been on, which were a lot more sanitised and PG. And probably contributed to me ending up solely on RB and forgetting all about the other 2-3 I used to check occasionally. I think a totally uncensored website (perhaps only bans for illegal content) would be a bold move and would stand out and attract the type of people who might make this site vaguely interesting again (JMG types, but not as old and washed up). I guess also most people who have the time to post 20-30x a day are teens, and teens love being able to say whatever the f--- they want without having a finger wagged at them (or being permaban'd).

I think that's all I can suggest because I don't use S.80 enough to comment on much else. I will say I really hate the design of this site. It's too clean and the way we have to navigate it (sections at the top) doesn't seem intuitive, but that could just be me.

I do miss this system

I can shout the site out on one of my songs, idk if it would work or not but I stand on a corner during rush hour and hand out my mixtapes panhandle style and I get 100-200 people a day to take and play a cd. I get 500+ plays on soundcloud a day from around the world, I'm sure that could help. I perform every weekend at colleges around Houston, I could shout you guys out at my shows too but you gotta help me promote my s--- when I drop it. Check me out:
