Yeah Hek battles a lot on LB too, Faq was also on there before he signed up here but that was prior to the tourney.
My subjective take on the conversation was that he would be happy to do the tourney but he didn't want to do it across both sites, probably because they get paid via adverts on site & monthly memberships, meaning people using RB would reduce traffic on their site and risk their members joining here, thus fuckin up their bag.
Their site is a bit weird at first but they do have some interesting ideas like needing to vote on 3 battles to enter 1 with a credit-based system & they have a live chat which I always thought was good on the old Don't Flop website. In fairness they do have way more features on there, although some are a bit childish like a "create your emcee" avatar thing, but like @Slayerr. said, if you don't CAPITALIZE when you're RAPPIN YA RHYMES a large portion of their users will struggle with it because it's almost standard format over there. I don't mind when people highlight complex wordplay that might otherwise be missed or misunderstood but using quotation marks for simple similes is a bit OTT.
