Title: For how long can this forum sustain the influx of new members and posts?
Post by: giveBTCpls on September 16, 2014, 06:30:32 PM
I dont know if i've asked this before but, for how long can this forum sustain the incredible amount of daily posting and daily new accounts? it's crazy, and as BTC becomes more mainstream the community will not stop growing. So I ask, how will this be sustainable?
Invite only?
Paying to register?
Or will you guys be able to keep it free forever?

There's bigger forums than this on the internet so I'm sure it will manage just fine. The more users we get the more they'll likely make in advertising so it shouldn't be a problem.

Ah, I didn't factor in more users = more money due advertisement, it should be a direct correlation so overtime let's hope enough money keeps being generated by these forum ads. My Adblock Edge isn't blocking these advertisements so they must do it in a really clever way or something.

The forum reserves are enough to keep the forum running for centuries.
There is a topic about forum finances somwhere in meta, look and see the details for yourself.

I just searched and found the thread that jaberwock is referring to: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=780707.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=780707.0)


The forum's revenue will be even higher in 2014!

To my understanding the more traffic to a site the better.  I think the real question is how much more scammers, scams and clone accounts can this forum take before it starts to discourage new members from join the much needed meaningful conversations?
