broadwaybeyonder Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Hello all! With the possibility of IKA taking over for Fox seemingly becoming more final, I wanted to float an idea to the CBUB. I've been considering starting a Twitter page dedicated to the CBUB in order to better promote the site. We've been keeping this place going during these last two years, but I think we would all like to see match ups have more discussion, voting, and ratings. That can happen if we get more traffic, and that will come if we put the site out there. If you are cool with that, my plan would be to post the links to a few matches/rumbles per week. They would be the two highest viewed/replied to matches and rumbles for that week. I would also post the 2 matches that finished during that time with the highest ratings. Taking into account possible doubling up, it would mean any from 4 to 10 matches/rumbles would be posted per week. At the end of the month, I would do a similar 'best of the month' selection. We could also just post all the topics if you prefer, but I won't be able to guarantee that I'll be able to get to all of them quick enough to make sure that they get the same amount of promotion. So what do you think? Would you like me to set this up? Would you want all the topics posted to Twitter, or just the ones that sparked the most discussion and views? Would you even want to have your matches posted? Please let me know below. I really appreciate the creative outlet this site has been for me, and I would like to see it get back to where it was before 2020, but I want to make sure what your thoughts are. Any comments or suggestions, speak and be heard. Have a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am part of some groups on Facebook which does some Character vs Character battles. So if I can get in touch with the admins there, then I might be able to link the CBUB and ElectricFerret there and maybe we'll see some activity. But... people there just pick their favorites to win, not so much base their decisions on feats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to promote the site anywhere could lead to an increased chance of prickish behavior. I know that Twitter has it's pricks, and there are pricks on Facebook too. We would need to be careful regardless and keep our eyes peeled for any nonsense (Purposely giving bad ratings, bad comments, etc). 50 minutes ago, Boratz said: I think it is a cool idea.

Which is why I would like to do a test drive for a month or two. If we started seeing more harm than good, I'd take down the page. @Fox, @IKA, your thoughts on this thread?

ViceCityMobster86 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 We can always, just speaking as a long time member appoint some extra mods. If any trouble makers get out of control just have mods deal with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, from my experience Twitter has a lot of crazies on there that happen to be very political and well... I'd really like to keep the political crazies away from CBUB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wanting to see if we can get some more people who will participate in the discussions and build up the site. I would like to hear from @IKA and @Fox too, since they know more about moderating this site than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKA Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Personally I wouldn't mind talking about it, but let's not be pushing anything until the site changes servers. This is still Fox's gig until he retires so as of now he didn't want the extra promotion an we should respect that wish until such time that CBUB changes hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RakaiThwei Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Know what... I'm not gonna advertise the CBUB on this group I am on over at Facebook... Buncha fuckin' pervs who say the fights end sex are rampant over there. Mostly when matches between male and female characters are proposed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizmo Hibiki Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I wouldn't see a problem with promoting matches, both official and Rumble over on Twitter. It can not only get more people interested, but also get people to participate in the CBUB as well with more character submissions and fights as well as maybe Draft matches again in the future. Especially since there are a ton of people that really wanna look for something other than Death Battle to quench their crossover fighting thirst, wether it be waiting for another episode/season or just thinks the show has gone down hill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViceCityMobster86 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I mean we can always appoint some extra moderators. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadwaybeyonder Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 Just to touch base with, @IKA and @Fox. Where are we at with the site? How close are we to @IKA being in full control? Week? Month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKA Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 We're still a month out. When it switches to me it will be renamed to MagneticFerret.com so keep that in mind. CBUB will remain but the domain will be different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really can't be overstated how important the choice of your domain name is. Just sayin'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
