Title: [ANN] Altcointalk.org sister site
Post by: adroitful_one on March 21, 2015, 07:40:11 PM
Hello, i'm here to announce altcointalk.org. The altcoin sister site to bitcointalk.org. We're hoping that one day it will be as big as bitcoikntalk.org. Come on in and announce your new coin with us, or just discuss everything happening in the world of altcoins! We're going to be looking for mods/admins soon

Yes adroitful is helping to run the new http://altcointalk.org! We have just had a soft launch.

You can post all your altcoin giveaways there, and you can also self promote your blog, crypto service etc there.

Just like bitcointalk but with less rules ;)

We have plans to grow the site into a huge crypto community over the coming months with giveaways, competitions, advertising and more.

See you there! If you make an account now you will have a nice account with good rep when altcointalk is more popular ;)

Joining now and I know it's suppose to be a sister site but I think you should have used another theme. There are some good new SMF themes which other forums use and they look much better.

Edit: And imho the favicon should be different too : https://i.imgur.com/I1kDJv4.jpg

Thanks guys!

What themes do you recommend? It is obviously a work in progress.

If you've been on bitcointalk as long as I have the same theme is comforting but open to new ideas.

Check out themes here: http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/

I think they're free and you might find something which is not too flashy and is simple and modern.
I will browse and suggest the ones I like most.

Wow, looks exactly like bitcointalk! Nice, nice!

Could I be a global mod as I previously requested? I'll register an account now :)

My account name is Monnt

Thanks!

I'm afraid we have enough mods for now :(

But please do register, and if you are active and contributing to the community please ask again in a month or two as we will probably need more mods then ;)

I wasn't able to post, when I was trying to reply to this message: http://altcointalk.org/index.php/topic,33.msg111.html#new

It redirects me to: http://altcointalk.org/index.php?action=post2;start=0;board=21

Which appears to be a blank page. Then I try to refresh it, and it redirects me to:

http://altcointalk.org/index.php?action=post;board=21.0

Which is to create a new topic in the forum discussion section.

According to adtroitful you just need to clear your cookies?

let me know how it goes!

Here are my suggestions:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=1825
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=1257

I think with a suitable background, they would look really cool, plus they're not that much different from this one as far as functionality go.

I think people would be more interested in something that already look familiar to them.

Thanks yes I think so too.

Just a quick security announcement. Altcointalk staff will NEVER create an account for you on altcointalk. If you use the same username as bitcointalk please use a DIFFERENT password. Just in case someone tries to hack us in future and tries to steal everyones password in the hopes they can then use these passwords on bitcointalk.

We are still running BTC and altcoin giveaways on http://altcointalk.org

People are also welcome to host their crypto giveaways there too and promote their cryptocurrency services there as well.

Traffic is growing fast with between 5000 - 20 000 pageviews per day.

Hope to see you there!

What happened to altcointalk.org? I just checked on it right now and it's not up.

I'm working on a site somewhat similar. Definitely not complete, but could use some content while I'm adding features and setting up the account security for when you add BTC/ETH address you will be the only one that can recover it.
