Title: Bitcoin Discussion (Technical) + Bitcoin Discussion (Theory), Split the Baby!
Post by: BitcoinPorn on July 12, 2011, 04:59:18 PM
We'll find out who the real mother is, I read this in the bible once.   Starting from the root of all Bitcoin discussion, is those two things.  It is either the tech side, or the other side.

Delete all other forums, get rid of off topic, stop Bitcoin.org from being the central location for Bitcoin talk.

Tech discussion (Development, Mining, Projects, Safety), Theory discussion (Economics, Politics, Bitcoin Promotion), and Newbies.   Eliminate a marketplace taking place on the official Bitcoin.org forums, leave that for dedicated people (thus all the problems that come with a marketplace will be taken to where those situations rest).

Just a thought, not fully fleshed out.

I've tried to push this so many times, but gave up.

The admins want the forum this way, and it's up to them.

Don't reflect this on the bitcoin devs, I don't think any of the original bitcoin developers still frequents this forum. There's the mailing list for low-noise technical discussion.

I swear this was an original thought, other than the bible reference lol

What is it they want this way?  The current sections and how it is divided up?

Yes. And they like the anarchy.

How can one not enjoy the anarchy of these forums lol

I like to throw out advice on how to better things, but in the end even the posts I don't like I end up laughing out loud at a lot of crap, this really is one of the better forums I have used ever just because the variety in what motivates someone to post here.  It's great that there are newbies just waiting to rip others off, and it seems there is just a slew of uneducated people that seem to be attracted to the scammers lol.  I can see how the mods like some things about how the forum is divided up.

lets get the stackexchange up, then the technical part will instantly migrate there. heck, everything of value will migrate there, probably.

really looking forward.
