the Booth doesn't give a shyt about Hip Hop. Just popular trash and fukkeryThis 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.
Hell Hip Hop as a whole is gasping for air. So on that note we damn sure can't expect the booth to support what we do. Hell look at @producingfire thread he put up promoting @Chubbs track with Boosie daughter. Hell the ONLY responses that were given were ALL hate 
We REALLY need to stop wanting acceptance in that Forum but hell even if we did @TEKBEATZ is one of the Mods and I KNOW that's your Man. I'm sure if you wanted something upped in there if YOU asked him personally then he would do it at least I would hope that he would
