This is bitcointalk, not altcointalk. SMF is open source and free to use, maybe Theymos can delete the altcoin section and implement a new site? Altcointalk.org?
So you're openly saying that theymos should lose more than 50% of his profits which come from altcoin section impressions?
I think the altcoins should still remain a part of this forum they generate a lot of visitors coming from the search engine if you search for one particular alt coins you will see that bitcointalk has a part of that search and it is very good for bitcointalk
Bingo.
I've seen this topic a number of times since the Alt Forum was created.
The Alt Forum ain't going anywhere LOL
It was created for the sole reason to keep the non-Bitcoin related post out of the main forum.
It was routinely referred to as the "Alt Trashcan" by the mods.
Not all mods disliked the Alt Forum
Saltyspittoon and Maged were Alt friendly.
I guess you could throw Tysat into that category also.

It's just the hypocricity which pisses me off, that's all.
Giveaways were bringing a lot of people in this forum.
Instead of doing something to improve the section, they banned giveaways. They're now allowed only in the shitty gambling section. (Big % of advertisers are casinos, keep that in mind
)
They could've just have 1-2 active mods who would lock the topic when the giveaway would end or simply send it to the trashcan.
