just make a "BitcoinXT" section somewhere on the forum.

[subSTRATA]

just take a glance at the meta section: lots of complaining about censorship, lying, etc. just have a section made for all xt related/fork discussion stuff instead.

NACK

XT already has a thread here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1115016.0

[dukeneptun]

So whenever we see "lots of complaining about censorship, lying etc." do they open a section somewhere on the forum? What if other altcoins do the same? Remember, this is Bitcoin forum.
If they don't like rules here they are free to open bitcoinxttalk.org.

valid point, I'm mostly just putting the idea out there as xt is one of the bigger topics of the present. mostly just an idea to consider.

It will pass, just like the other big topics. Afterwards we have a subboard that is no longer needed.

[Lauda]

Definitely no. The problem isn't XT nor the forum's policy. It is the users that are constantly opening threads for the same topics in the wrong subsection.
If BitcoinXT deserves a section for itself, doesn't DASH (just used as example, I'm not advocating it) deserve one too? Are you trying to tell me there are more posts about XT than about DASH (currently ~105k)?

To simplify, the main reason for which neither have or are going to have their section is because this is BITCOINtalk, not bitcoinXTtalk, nor DASHtalk.
Update:

Dash is an altcoin, XT isn't.

It is a programmed altcoin. Your point?

What do you think altcoins are?
99% of all altcoins ARE disputed forks of bitcoin.
An altcoin is THE RESULT OF someone creating a fork that only a portion of users decide to mine and use.

Ergo, it is (or will be; whatever suits you) an altcoin.

exactly!

i will never understand it, even if  there is mods and admins who already write about it, people still asking about it, cmon guys they already sayd that BitcoinXT is just like an alt coin, please dont ask anymore about it!!! they wont change it.

XT is.

[YarkoL]

Technically XT may be an altcoin, but at least
for historical reasons it is in category of it's own.

The mods could dedicate a child board for XT in
the altcoin section, and that might even have
a positive effect and encourage more constructive
dialogue.

I say this as an altcoin dev, who mostly posts
into the altcoin section, and I'm impartial in regard
to the Core/XT dispute.

The only healthy dialogue regarding XT is that it should die immediately. Nevermind double spends, nevermind "51%s", nevermind transaction malleability, forking is the true threat.

XT is.

Not yet. But, it will be. Right now, XT is just an alternative client. If they can gain 75%+ hash power, they'll allow bigger blocks and then that would be an alt coin.

It won't happen, the CN pools won't support anything along the lines of a fork even if it does allow for larger block sizes. Even Bitmain alone can block a fork.

I wish they dont. But, did not bitmain sign the letter supporting 8MB block ?

Supporting the idea that block sizes should increase, NOT any form of forming or XT which is considered dangerous. They want the core devs to work together.

Your already unseemly self-pity is becoming nauseating.  The sooner you Gavinistas are herded into /v/bitcoinxt to circlejerk yourselves the better.

Even though you Core supporters really make a laudable effort
at being utter dickheads, I'm still maintaining my impartial stance
on this bitcoin brouhaha.

Fine, pretend to be impartial while picking one side to scold for not meeting your standards of genteel conduct.   

There's no group of "utter dickheads" in which I'd rather be included than the one boasting Szabo, Back, BramCohen, theymos, gmax, pwuille, MeniR, laawj, ptodd, drak, davout, MP, hdbuck, and MoA.

If you haven't noticed, your XT-BECAUSE-OFFENDED meme (after some initial success while theymos took the weekend off) has failed.

I guess people love privacy and Tor more than they hate the core devs and theymos!

It is my understanding that the chinese pools, for the most part do not own the hardware they are mining with, so switching pools to one that does support XT (or any other fork) would be as simple as changing a few settings.

It is also possible that something could change in the future that would convince the Chinese pools to support XT, perhaps if major a major payment processor were to publicly support XT.....I am not sure if any of them will though.

I don't think that XT should have it's own section, although I also don't think it should be in the altcoin section.

For the most part, any discussion that has to do with XT will almost always also have to do with Bitcoin......and discussions regarding Bitcoin belong in the main section.
