The mcee battle section won't work for me. Any idea why?

I had a comment on the website that I was wondering if anyone could answer: I just got hip to the common website a week a go adn it seems pretty slick. Howver, I was wondering was it just me, and does the micastrophe not work for enyone else. Everytime I click on I get the "document sontains no data." Beside that, though the site is tight!

It's about time somebody got a website for Common, and may I say it's the nuke.

Dear Common: I am a Southside of Chicago native and have been moved by your work since you started. I admire your accomplishments and hope you show the world what REAL HIP-HOP is about. You take it to a level that no one else can attempt to achieve with your style. You are a gifted brother and I wish you much success. I can relate to every piece you deliver on each album and hope it will reach others who need inspiration to become better people. Coming from the Chi I've learned a lot about myself and life, which is what you speak about so well. Keep doin' what you do because we love you out here. Your website is an excellent place to promote your up and coming events or work in the industry. WE LOVE YOU, Windy City Diamond

This is just a publc BIG-UP to all the headz out there playing the battle game for sport. I respect you all for your perserverance in making this site a FUN place to come to and hang out at. I don't have any beef with anyone personally, AT ALL. All verbal transactions that occur here are strictly for FUN and exercise. Besides, How can you really battle anyone without a crowd and a MIC? Otherwise, there's no determining factor as to who wins...no immediate response, ya know? Nuff Respect to TONY COSTA(that ILL cat from LA), LOGIC, Midnight, Maestro,and them other NICE people in the world. One Love.

Yo derelict, the increase from 5 to 12 votes in the micatasrophe was a phat idea, but it has a drawback. When I'm feeling like posting a rhyme, theres always two other people's posted. And you have to wait until somebody gets 12 votes. My suggestion is to try to have several battles going at once. Derelict, I have to say, at anyrate, this is a phat ass website. Being a computer science major I admire your work, (and hard time you probably had doing it). Peace out and keep up the good work.

Yo, First of all, this is a tight website. Much props to whoever is responsible for maintaining it. Second, I want to post some lyrics cus I see all these scrubs posting recycled lyrics and I can't combat. I'm using Netscape 3.0 and 4.0, but I can't seem to post anything when I click where it says, "Enter the Arena." Help! I noticed that it says that my browser must support frames. My internet jargon isn't all that so can somebody explain that in crystal clear detail. Much appreciated yall. Third, check out www.angelfire.com/ok/massreality It is a nice-looking website.

Good looking out to Com and L-Boogie for the chat and everyone responsible for this event. Hope you can do this again.

The Mictastrophe Arena is too small. Only one? Two MC's? How about three or four rooms with five mics apiece. Too often, you can't get in the Arena because two people lock it up right quick. Even now, with a battle over and a winner announced you STILL can't get in -- it just shows you the lyrics of the last two contestants. Add more battle arenas if nothing else.

The Voting in the MC Battle (Micatastophie or however it's spelled)should be more than five votes, because I can easily just vote for myself 5 times (even if it remembers the IP address, theres 30 different computers in this computer lab, all with different IP addresses.) It should at least be increased to 30 in my opinion. Peace
