IPM you're trippen if think that the forums dont MAKE this site.
The updates on the homepage of this site are fucking HORRIBLE.
i dont come here to read their articles, i come here to look for info posted by OTHER USERS and ARTISTS. I know about all the latest bay music because of other people that post about it, not because siccness.net updates me on the regular about it.
siccness is just the medium we use to communicate with, just slap on some gangsta-branding on the pages and call it a bay area rap board and boom you have the siccness.
it is WE that provide the traffic that they base their ad revenues on, no one else. they make money off us. We could EASILY go to another forum, but we stay based off the relationships we've built with other people and we enjoy the interface this forum provides, and once they fuck that up then whats the point?
Im tired of the moderator politics, they are just like us, no better, no worse. A good website informs its users and responds to feedback, thats the key to maintaining a good website. We keep this board relevent through our knowledge of Bay Area Rap and everything else pertinent to the respective forums on hear. WE MAKE THIS SITE, SO YES THEY DO OWE US. THIS SITE IS OURS.

Without the Siccness, you would not be able to POST. SO which is it? Chicken or the egg. But guess what, the Siccness was here before were able to even POST anything ON this message board. SO therefore, the Siccness made YOU.
Do you know WHY we got ads in the first place? Because they couldn't support the bandwidth that WE use to POST on their FREE board. Or are you not understanding that?? They have to be able to pay to keep this site up so WE can post for fuckin FREE. You dont pay a DIME to post here.
Look, when something is FREE, you shouldn't have a fuckin hissy fit about it. Thats like getting mad that you got a free happy meal...and there was only 4 nuggets instead of 5 and yelling at whoever gave it to you. You could have had NO nuggets at all.
if people REALLY cant see this, then i dont know what to tell you. Take a fuckin break and step back into reality for a minute please.
@ lesbian
I just thought it was ironic that, of ALL people, have the nerve to call me a "faggit (nice spellin, asshole)" when all you do is suck off E-40 every chance you get. Pot...kettle. Have you met?
Dick mouth.

Im just using common sense here. If someone is letting you run around for free, why the fuck are people all up in arms when they decide to make a change? And a SMALL, insignificant at that. HELLO...we arent paying SHIT to be here. We get the PRIVILEGE of being here. If we were PAYING customers, i would have a TOTALLY different position on this. But im not. And neither is ANYONE else.

so the value of information created by members on this board is worthless because it's intangable? It's a give and take. Kinda like a mall, a mall with gucci and louie vuitton stores and macys and shit is nothing without the customers. Otherwise its just a huge empty building.
The customers inside are what keep it going, even if they dont buy anything, they may tell a friend about a sale and she may go to the mall and buy something, and not this friend frequents the mall regularly.
you cant just say "oh well u could not have a mall so get over it"
thats not the way it works, they built the mall for a purpose, as they built this site for a purpose. And im sure they didnt build it just to piss people off. Their are obiligations that come with creating things like this and thats the nature of the business.

Right, but in your scenario, someone is still BUYING something FROM the mall. No one is BUYING anything from Siccness.net/vb.
The purpose of this SITE was out of FANDOM of UNDERGROUND SAC music and to SHARE interests with others about. Thats it. NOTHING MORE. In fact, this was basically JUST a message board when it all started. It only became a WEBSITE later on...MUCH later on.
Some of you guys REALLY dont get it. I mean...its BAFFLING. If we all paid a fee to be here, there would be no C-Lim firing gun shots. There would be no Beanie Siegel head starring at us. NONE OF THAT. The owners of this site have to PAY THE BILLS in order to KEEP THIS HERE. Yes, they DO get revenue....but it aint from US. The actual WEBSITE has a SHOP that they sell merchandise from. People put up ads and they can also profit from that. You can have Siccness.net without the message board....they arent mutually exclusive. There are THOUSANDS of music sites like Siccness.net with NO message board. Do the math.
Again, we PAY, no ads, no gripping. No PAY, they get "sponsors", we dont get to bitch when THEY decide to change something.
Its not rocket science, folks.
Its really not a senseless argument because many ppl were posting sum dum ass shit and saying they were gonna quit the site without even knowing the damn facts. Don't like how the site is run then kick rocks and go to bay on top, skuffers or wherever. And what makes u ppl think that cupp didn't ask to be banned? Seriously.
Ok so then what is the siccness without the message board?
Also, You say there are other sites just like it w/ no message boards? Which ones? How does siccness.net compare with them?
And you even said it yourself, it may has started as something small for sacramento, but it CHOSE to evolve into something else because it saw more value in growing. And with that growth, comes other problems and obligations.
OF COURSE this site owes us nothing, but if the entire world acted like the moderators of this site we would be truly fucked.
A site with no return loyalty to it's clientele is not good web practice.
you act as if anything that is given for free can be taken away and thats perfectly ok.
*cue the National Anthem

Oh stop being so fuckin hyper-dramatic dude. I expect better from someone like you.
If im not mistaken, Dubcnn.com or whatever the fuck doesn't have a board...and they do just fine. Dutch's West coast rap site has no board either...and he does his thing.
There are thousands of places like THIS (site + forum), like AVS.com which has about 10 times the users we do. However, they actually have a PAY option which makes you a GOLD member. Others, like myself, post for FREE and are at the MERCY of the mods. They have SEVERAL ads and sponsors much more so than this place does. Everyone over there understands HOW it works, yet folks over here cant seem to grasp the idea.
ESPN.com has about 100x the users AVS has, and guess what? We post for free. They can do whatever the fuck it is they want, becuase when you are a squatter, you get no rights. Period. Its a PRIVILEGE to post there. You dont like it? Leave. Thats their attitude and it even says it in their disclosure form when you sign up, regarding the rules and policies.
Anyways, this is all over and done with. So i digress.
