Both of these platforms offer a wealth of information and very informative feedback to questions. The trolls and spam do not bother me, because I am intelligent enough to identify and filter them on my own. The so called censorship on \r\Bitcoin on Reddit was just something that was over exaggerated to benefit the XT agenda. {Sympathy vote}
Everything is back to normal now, and both platforms are still fully supported and very active. It's very educational and also beneficial to the community to have these kinds of platforms for discussion.

Sure the quality of most of the posts have gone downhill for the last year or two, but so has the "buzz" and new info surrounding btc. The posts here are lower quality because of sig campaigns, but the sig campaigns are tolerated because activity in these forums was already dwindling.
I joined in feb 2012 (I think) and I knew next to nil about btc. If it wasn't for these forums and my ability to ask very specific questions I'd probably still be struggling with the basics. I think bitcoin talk is still good for this. Anything noteworthy on the reddit sub appears here so I never bother with it.
I'm guessing the REAL btc forum, where the really informative and interesting stuff is, is a private affair that only devs can access (mailing list?)
Anyway, there's really nothing else for us muggles except this here

I understand there is a lack of alternatives, and there is not a better place for up to date information.
apparently you did not understand, because this is the only reason why we are here, if there were better places i'm sure the community would have shifted long time ago some times it's a matter of what it is less worst, to choose

Well, only this web my income comes.. not even only with signature but i usually sell account or provide a service to get some BTC
I think these are the most important reasons many users are visiting this great forum every day. This forum has given many people to start finding additional income with their spare time. Either they can earn from signature campaign or sell their services to this community without any advertising expenses.

Because here is the place where you will find all the knowledge you want to get to know about Bitcoin.Especially when you are new into this space. Here are most of the guys who are really deep in it and passionate about it.The best place to keep yourself updated and to communicate.

I understand there is a lack of alternatives, and there is not a better place for up to date information.
But, in the light of Bitcoin and what it represents, neither of these platforms promote the same ideologies. So, just curious to reach out and ask why the community continues to visit these sites? What is your take? Would you move to another platform? What would it take? What are your favorite alternatives? And 170,000 odd subscribers, what # do you estimates is multiple user accounts (I personally have about 8 of those) and active Bitcoiners?
I don't understand, where do you want us to go. This is an official Bitcoin forum where all the action takes place. This is still the easisest place for newbies and more experienced users to get the info they want really fast. Would we change if there was an alternative? Well, that's like you are asking us, would we change for another coin if it was better than Bitcoin. This coin still doesn't exist, nor does an alternative to forum like this one, so would we change or not is very hard to answer.

Anyone who has 8 accounts is clearly account farming and gets negative trust. We just had an incident today where it was revealed that Quickseller was escrowing for his own alts.
I think he's referring to Reddit. That's the type of place where you need multiple accounts as they gradually get shadow banned or forgotten.

It's still the place where everyone gathers and share information. Even if you create a new forum, same platform with the feel, colors and everything unchanged except for the domain name, people would still or mostly likely remain at bitcointalk. It's the pioneer advantage we are talking about here.

because both are the most popular places on the internet with the highest number of users. as for bitcointalk, i think it was the first bitcoin forum that was created and satoshi was on here. besides there is no better place to go from here. bitcointalk loads fast and easy and it is up all the time. and reddit is a good option since i use it for other subs i subscribe to /r/bitcoin too. i have tries a couple of other crypto related forums (like cryptocointalk.com of the top of my mind) but there is just not enough life there to make me want to visit them regularly. and honestly i don't see anybody leaving these two places until the rules are the same as what they are now and meanwhile there is not better place to go.

I am not a reddit fan. I find it difficult to follow a thread there.
The forums here is where I started my journey in Bitcoin. I got help from members here to setup my miners and how to operate them. In time and slowly I got into the spirit of Bitcoin. The forums here are rich in information and if you are up for it, you can make a little bit of extra coins. So, where else?

For me I think this is the biggest community in here about bitcoins. I cannot find any other site like this one. Fully informative + the services we can get in here.

Cypherdoc? Not I. I actually run enjoybitcoins.com, and came here to post a question and gauge the communities response. But I enjoy that you fit right in with the people around here who can see through a computer... Pretty insane skill, seem tuned right in #LOL. You might need a tune up boss. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I only support bitcointalk because of the amount of people posting on here and posting useful information. If another site popes up tomorrow that was just as big as bitcointalk and well known I would use that as well but theirs too many sister sites trying to do the same as bitcointalk and fail have a lot of activity on it and then end up coming back on bitcointalk. Even I have my own altcoin website and never really took off but I plan sometime in the future to give it a shot at making it just as big as Bitcointalk and the go to place for information. But that will take time and many members and traffic and guests visiting.

Just from this thread alone I've added about 6 users to my ignore list for worthless sig campaign posts or shitty English or both. I like the fact that btctalk is not censored, but sig campaigns just do not help intelligent discussion.
Reddit is garbage. Reminds me of Myspace back in the day. Cluttered, ugly, and unintuitive.

Bitcointalk is the most respected and oldest forum since bitcoin launch..And you won't find much members anywhere else then here..That's the main reason people share their view on bitcoin here not anywhere else because of much larger audience ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

The upvote system is the advantage of reddit, it does have some draw backs though like you say. I'd rather a forum like this with an upvote system.

Feel free to add me in their haters be hating. Even if I did not have a sig campaign under my name, I would be posting just as much or even more throughout bitcointalk. Theirs times I do not post or post as much as I use to due to the fact I am working on projects that should exceed bitcointalk in the future. But that is going to take some work to get a place as big and successful as bitcointalk. Campaign is just giving me coin for something am already doing, as they are using my signature space to promote their business and get their name about. Bitcointalk need to get their act together on a lot of things but chose not to. I have highlighted many times past and current but do nothing about it to improve. Guess this will be used in my own forums when ready.

Unless you can find a forum that is decentralized I'm not sure how you could have one that promotes the same ideologies. Bitcointalk is currently the best place and its hardly run by nazis though people complain whenever their thread gets moved into the correct section. Personally I wouldn't change unless a clear superior forum came about.
