Wall Observer Thread locked?

[yefi]

What if I create an Off-Topic -> Chat section which doesn't contribute to post count, is ignored from unreadposts by default, hides signatures, and has some additional unpaid mods pulled from the Wall Observers regulars? It'd be exempt from some of the rules in order to allow for the chatroom-like style.

Hey, that sounds reasonable enough to me. Agree with Quickseller though - would be good to at least have a link back to Speculation.

Cheers.

No, it stops people from making off topic posts in there.

It is a superficial solution and deserves nothing more than derision.

I'm seeing conflicting opinions here, so I created a poll: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1993570.0

I'll vote for the protection of that thread, it has historical value and a culture that more or less gives it value so it may as well exist in its terrible form and shape until that new forum that we were all told we would migrate to a few years ago is built and developed then it can die a natural death
But thanks for the poll options Theymos lot of interesting choices there.
Also when did Adam get banned that explains some of its wildness lol.

Well, no wonder the thread was never updated or moderated, adam hasn't been active since last year and his account got banned.

I believe that his account was hacked, and then he was not willing to spend time to recover the account-since he had lost access to some of his possible proof of ownership methods and he did not want to be bothered.  Maybe admins would know better if he had actually made any attempts to recover his account?
