Petition for Monero to have its own board, so we don't bother the altcoins.

[galbros]

Or even better yet, it can have its very own forum! ...Oh wait it already has one, but it's a ghost town

The official forum is at https://forum.getmonero.org

This was the first thing I thought of as well, you should utilize your own forum.  The insight about you can't get paid for signature campaigns by posting there rather than here is insightful.

As dozens of others have pointed out, this is bitcointalk, not cryptocurrency talk, many people want to get rid of the alt coin section all together.  I think threads like this help their case, be glad there is a place for you.

It is? Please take a look at the last 10 Monero supporters who have posted on this thread and tell me how many of them have paid signatures.

Now look at the troll who brought that up and you. What do you see at the bottom of those posts?

Somebody is surely shilling here, and it isn't the Monero supporters.

this is bitcointalk, not cryptocurrency talk

The Monero discussion takes place almost exclusively in the Alternative cryptocurrencies section of bitcointalk. If the forum admin wants to get rid of it, that's his perrogative, but as long as it's here, it is perfectly appropriate to discuss coins besides Bitcoin. And in turn it makes good sense to organize it appropriately, which might well include dedicated forums for coins with a particularly high level of interest and discussion.

Obviously no alt coin should have its own sub here so that is just silly. I think Monero is fine where it is at right now. The only alt with a semi active forum is Litecoin, but it is also bigger than all the rest combined so not really surprising. Personally I try to ignore the alt section here since it is always a mess. All alt coins have shills and supporters...XMR does seem to have a lot of haters though.

Monero already has its own sub-forum, it's called the TRASHCAN.

While it is certainly better than quite a number of these coins, I would agree. Even if we are going to judge each coin and try to find the one that deserves a board, it would not be monero.
Looks like these "teams" behind altcoins can't even make a forum for themselves.

Making a forum requires minimum effort unless you're coding it. Stop bothering bitcointalk about your altcoin.

Oh dear, we're going to need more copies of the Butthurt Report Form.  LaudaM, please take a number and have a seat.

Maybe while you're waiting you can also nag the "teams" behind Namecoin about making their own forum.  Because Bitcoin is the only valid use of Nakamoto Consensus that will ever happen.

[nutildah]

So why do you keep bothering the altcoins?

You're clearly paid by somebody to make Monero look bad. Its funny that their hardcore devs and bagholders are too tunnel-visioned to notice this.

That's why I'm near certain you are Moneroman88 and Blue Meanie AKA Josh Zeidner.

[Your Point Is Invalid]

If its so important, why not make a new forum at a new domain?

I think at this point it's fair to say that everyone on Bitcoin Talk is aware that Monero is the successor to Bitcoin proper.  Calling it an altcoin is inaccurate and a clumsy, archaic protocol. 

No, just no.

What is Monero?

Pure bullshit. How you wanna be taken serious by saying so much crap ? Monero is nothing but an altcoin, dependant of Bitcoin forever and will never get out of its shadow.

No, just no.

Monero shares no (high level) code with Bitcoin, so it not a fork like other altcoins.

But as a store of value that also functions as a medium of exchange, Monero represents an alternative socioeconomic consensus, so it's an altcoin in the socioeconomic sense.

Given the vast overlap (basically embedding) of XMR's user base with BTC's, I have no problem using the broader definition.

And XMR is definitely an altcoin as far as its functionality, which include providing an opaque blockchain as an alternative to BTC's transparency and a dynamic block size as an alternative to BTC's static approach.

Maybe we can pay use donations to pursuade Thermos to give us our own forum on a subdomain.

No more Monero threads (and threads about Monero threads) on the alt board, no more DashHole and Vtrash BS in Monero threads.

Win/win.

That's a nice suggestion. Applied consistently each coin would have its own independent forum, the Alternate cryptocurrencies section here would be shut down, traffic to this site would plummet and revenue to the operator would plummet along with it. I don't think that lead balloon is going to fly very far.

It was just an answer to the extraordinary request this thread presents. Apparently some of the Monero supporters feel the need to have their own subforum on Bitcointalk. I've never heard of any other project running a petition "to have its own board, so [they] don't bother the altcoins" -- everyone else seems to be running their own forums as well as threads on BCT without wanting more than that.

This implies that every coin has the same community behind it, which obviously isn't true.
Next to no Bitcoin/Litecoin fork has the community to sustain a full fledged forum of their own for a prolonged period of time. Therefore, the best solution for them would be a thread or two in the Alternate Currencies section. If a coin is becoming so demanding that it would require it's own board (on a forum which is essentially unrelated besides it being a crypto-currency), would it not make more sense for that coin's community to transfer to it's own forum, rather than stay on an otherwise unrelated existing forum?

As for this,

traffic to this site would plummet and revenue to the operator would plummet along with it

BitcoinTalk has survived previous to these alt-coins being created and used, I'm sure it can survive should said alt-coins move away.

It could survive yes, but traffic and revenue would indeed plummet.

You definitely do have alternate forums, but they haven't been able to get traffic away from this site.
http://altcointalk.org/ hasn't managed to make a dent.

Kind of like asking my business needs a new board

Edit
Donating 100BTC to the forum to have a sub-board under the same board might work.
10BTC for renewing every year.
