Wow, news flash.

[RustySparks]

May I just say it's was banned just in time. I mean it lasted off topic for 5 years and  17200 pages so admin is on the ball here.

too many traffic on old thread ... and without the OP, self-moderation don't work at all (ETH invasion, SCAM invasion).

Self-Moderated actually mean that i have a "DELETE" button on every message in this subject.
And i can lock this thread, too ... to clean the development of ALTS/SCAM discussion.

After all ... why not ?

Yeeeahhh..... unhhh... NO. Unilateral has no place in a permissionless environment.

You choose.

kthxby

Yeah actually I'm uncomfortable if he's uncomfortable.
Needed to keep the regulars, especially the Legendaries, on board.
Needed a very neutral set of rules in op to get anywhere near back to where we were.

I´m going to build my own wall-observer thread. with black-jack and hookers.

[rjclarke2000]

So, what have I missed? What's going on???

So, what have I missed? What's going on???

theymos "doesn't get" wall observer so he shut it down as it's too much work for his lazy ass moderators to keep the trolls out ... go figure, probably the most popular thread on this forum and he 'doesn't get' it.

jbrehrer and the big-blocker nutters don't get why moderation is important to keep trolls under the bridge so he's gonna rage-quit the reborn wall observer (he rage-quit with his first post so its questionable whether he ever really participated so it's not a true rage-quit in the usual sense)

other than that I think you're up to speed.

Can't the thread be moved to off topic and we continue as normal?

[Elwar]

I had so much invested in the pre fork Wall Observer thread. Does that transfer over? Does this thread support more transactions?

As to the point of the old thread...we are all here discussing the bitcoin price but sometimes we get bored and want to talk about other things and there are some really smart people in this thread who have been around for a while.

As for Litecoin and Segwit. The price was about 3 dollars forever. It started to climb to around 9 when bitcoin started rising. Then they announced Segwit implementation and it flew up from there.

That is hilarious.

I surely have thought about jbrehrer as a "big blocker nutjob," but I never even thought about Jbrehrer post in this thread as a rage quit.... hahahaha... great humor... a fun personal attack that captures meaning in the bitcoin community.

Unlike some of those other nutjob ragequitters, I'm sure Jbrehrer will be back, because he cannot resist being where the "action is."  hahahaha   Actually, there may even be a bit of a pattern in which ragequitters do come back.

This message by Theymos explains the most recent locking of the previous Wall Obs. thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1990962.msg19827736#msg19827736

Indeed, if you have an opinion on the future of the thread, that's where it should be voiced. Personally prefer for the old topic to be unlocked and moved to off-topic, rather than rebirthing it in bastardised form here.

I think it defeats the purpose if you move it to "Off-topic" because it was effectively the landing page for noobs who wanted to find out about price action with bitcoin (i.e. essentially all bitcoin noobs). This is how the bitcoin noob experience has gone for thousands ...

they go... google search bitcoin CLICK ->
.... hmmm, bitcointalk.com, yep, that looks popular want some of that goodness CLICK ->
... hmmm, Speculation (yep, that's what I'm really here for hehe) CLICK ->
....hmmm, what's this massive long-ass thread with millions of views, yep that's what I want to read WALL OBSERVER!-> CLICK bang, done, arrived \O/
... and down the bitcoin price discussion rabbit-hole they fall  

The landing page effect of the rough 'n tumble feel yet warts 'n all authenticity of Wall Observer should not be underestimated.

Guys
SegwitX2 mining is falling back this early morning iT was 86.2%
Now iT is 85.9% is this bad ore good? Any information about iT
Can someone explain that is not bad news?

[Meuh6879]

People still talking about the old thread maybe it's now time to continue what's left on that thread and back to the speculations and prices about btc and limit those FUDs, trolls and other's that doesn't have something to do with the discussion.

Just 1 week to find the marks (and rules over all participants).

... it's the new 'driverless-bus' form of OP-moderated journey, can be a bad trip when passengers like NotLambChop or the mETH heads try to grab the wheel.

yes that is exactly how I found it several years ago - and so long as I scrolled through some old man porn, some antisemitisim, the coyote etc there were some very informed posts that were technical in nature but explained clearly so I could understand.
But key is that the mood/tone of the thread was fun to read so I kept coming back - surely the very essence of why forums exist.

I vote for a solar wall then. The resulting ROI could be used to pay a moderator salary too!

[Biro Bob]

I loved WO because people posted all kinds of random stuff. Is that allowed in this new WO?

Nice initiatief from Meuh6879 to start a new one asap

Yep! I agree! I loved the random nature of the Wall Observer thread including it's off topic ramblings. In fact, the off topic ramblings and rockets, moon landing gifs and general weirdness are what make it a successful thread.

To quote someone else (who said this a long time ago somewhere else in the Wall Observer thread.

"This thread is a bit like going into a bar to meet all your friends and all of your friends want to talk about Bitcoin"

[petahashminer]

i hope this thread will as good as the original one.

Someone else said it was a social thread, not just for discussing walls and prices. The new one won't be the same if the random off topic ramblings and GIFs aren't allowed.
