I was talking to a fellow bitcoiner about this forum IRL and he said he thought it was "degenerating"  Grin

I disagree. I find it's getting better.

Who's right?

At this moment the thread right under this one is "Should Bitcoin form a freedom fighters army?".

I'd say that's a breeding ground for degenerates

I don't respect any forum that would have me as a member.

It's become more of an interest by the the ones who get paid to post online.

Exactly and that's the whole "problem".

I personally experienced this forum as very good and well educated (at least in comparison to other forums).

Due to the media buzz a crowd of new people that are completely new to Bitcoin entered the forum so the "value" of discussions here dropped significantly.*

But that's only temporary. I time this noobs will learn more and add value and more important fresh ideas to this forum.

And a inflow of fresh ideas is necessary, otherwise we would just run in circles here.

*No offense

All previous versions of currency will no longer be supported as of this update

Quality will always suffer with quantity.

If the entire world were to use Bitcoin tomorrow, the "average" explanation would be "It's hacker paypal made by the Japanese for drugs!"

The only subforums I check anymore are general BTC discussion, Politics & Society, and Off-Topic.  Everything else is filled with "How I do the mining rig?" and "New altcoin, identical to Litecoin but isn't!"

Sure, the forum has gone downhill in some respects, but growth is still good. There's still countless good topics scattered throughout. Just stay away from specific sections and you're fine.

I noticed that there are TONS of sockpuppets. Everytime a new "altcoin" (yeah well more like "scamcoin") then suddenly tons of new users start speaking about it, of course all newbies/jr members. And this happens for every new altcoin. Or other scam.

It also happens to Ripple threads that decry it as a scam. "I agree! RIPLE MUST BE A SCAM" -User with 1 post who created an account 2 seconds earlier
