imo, people just arent interested in music like that anymore. times have changed and people are clout demons.
The Booth is pretty active though, so if that were the case wouldn't it apply there too?
It's because in the booth people are actually fans of what's posted where in the "tunnel" it's like a meeting amongst friends. the interest doesn't extend past a certain point. Add to that, new members couldn't register for the coli whenever they wanted then you have the same base of people if that, looking at our content that's been posted. Even on the off chance this content was posted in the booth we would get the same result because people have to be developed into caring about "new" before they give it a chance. If they are never contacted or introduced to something, they will never show support for it.

only if its an artist on a major like drake or someone. the booth is more entertained by fukkery, antics, twitter/ig beefs, social commentary, etc. anything else rarely gets passed 2 pages before thread dies.
im surprised that freddie gibbs x alchemist thread is poppin
I never understood them closing registration. If you can't control the forum to the point you have to close registration permanently, that's a bad moderation issue.
That makes sense. Popularity and drama.
It may seem counterintuitive but it also develops value amongst the members that are already here. They open registration i believe at a certain point of the year for a limited time. But i will make a post in the booth that I suspect will get tons of attention. I will tag you in it. It will promote your placement with Poison Ivi

Hip-Hop forums seem to becoming less and less in recent years.
I miss Cratekings which basically posted all the news i needed to know about production for years straight.
People do a lot on facebook now or at least i do.

The Facebook groups I joined to network and market in have turned into African and other foreign accounts spamming links to unrelated news stories and controversial topics. Instagram has been the best for me personally.
For me personally, I've been busy with work.
As a whole, music forums across the internet have slowed down. As someone pointed out in another thread, everyone became a trap or lofi producer and started a youtube channel.
What's crazy is I've always wanted to move the tunnel over to youtube, but never had the time. Then lofi blew up

Hell the Tunnel is actually more alive than it's been in YEARS. If you go and check the previous years we couldn't even finish the tourneys. Right now we actually got a nice little grass root movement popping back up

This is true. Its more active now than some previous eras, but its still underwhelming.
but to answer the OP question, its simple. Everybody wants shine, but don't wanna give shine. Over the years there's been plenty of dope producers and artists that would come through here and post up their work and only engage with others when it comes to their own music/threads and then disappear when tagged or its time to engage and give feedback on other people's work.
If 20 people only show up to post and talk about their music, and only 5 stick around to talk about other peoples music, then of course shyt gonna grow slow as hell. You really see this happen in the battle tourneys once dudes get eliminated. Real Talk, no battle should have less than 15 votes, but some be lucky to get 8.
You don't need 100 people in here to have this place popping. You just need the 20 or 30 semi active casuals to engage with each other more. If nikkas tag you in a thread, vote or whatever and drop a couple lines of feedback. It really doesn't take much effort from everyone collectively, but theColi fell in love with the fukkery too much and the balance jumped the shark years ago.
If the Booth kept one battle posted from the Tunnel stickied at all times, that would help, but for now we all we got.
