Title: Forum Donation
Post by: Greek Translator on October 03, 2017, 06:00:00 PM
Someone inside this section wrote that the forum does not need donations any more.

Is that true?
Forum has it's own resources for staying live?

The forum receives income from ad slots it auctions every week: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2206667.msg22214918#msg22214918

Yes, because of all the traffic signature campaign shitposters bring, I'm pretty sure this forum--and its owner(s) are rolling in money.  With everything wrong with bitcointalk, you'd have to be a complete idiot to donate money to it in 2017.  Everything here is broken or breaking, and theymos doesn't seem to care.  

Edit:  I don't know either, J_J.  That new forum software has been in the works for a few years now.  I actually like the format of bitcointalj but not the trust system, not how the sections are organized, and definitely not the tolerance of noobs spewing crap.

I don't even know why theymos keeps making changes to this forum when he has invested shit tons of money in the new forum which doesn't seem to be launching anytime soon.
