On the topic of this forum degenerating, you can blame Theymos for that in part by:
1) Allowing advertisements to be made by criminals for criminal products and continuing their scams
2) Defending ponzi schemes
3) Bringing in hundreds of thousands of dollars in bitcoins for the purpose of building a new forum and not even bothering 12 months later
4) Creating an easily abused trust system that is only effective for astroturfing and political agendas.
The userbase is only as good as its leader, as he ignores our pleas to do the right thing, we are unable to make the forum a better place.

I think more of the problem here overall is simply that the time when Bitcoin itself was alone is long over, and there is a large community here that wants to discuss other goings on in cryptocurrency at large but this isn't the place to do it. There is an overflow of "off topic" posting going on. Currently there are not a lot of choices out there. Other boards are also Bitcoin specific as well for the most part.
The explosion in the Altcoin board is proof enough of this problem, where Altcoins really need their own forum now as they outgrew the board here a while ago. Calls to expand this forum were rightfully put down, as this is a forum for talking about Bitcoin specifically, though if that means Bitcoin itself as a standalone currency or the protocol in general is where the line blurs a little. There was already a call to get an Altcoin forum going (altcointalk.org and altcoinforum.org) but those projects are both dead already. I noticed last time I saw altcoinforum.org it was completely hosed by spam accounts. I offered to help Altcointalk.org get off the ground and provide hosting but I never got a reply about it again.
I myself am working on a couple new boards to meet this demand.
If anyone reading this agrees with me, and has a mind to start a specific community forum (that isn't Bitcoin itself), PM me and let's talk. I can provide hosting for new forum projects. Not to steal Bitcointalks thunder by any means, and I think it is a fantastic forum overall with a very vibrant and passionate community, but seems like branching out into either more general cryptocurrency boards or very specific ones (mining only for example) is the next logical step, and not force Bitcointalk into being something its leaders don't want. I can't blame them at all for that.

The intellectual level of this board is horribly going down the drain. I'd be glad to switch asap to another board similar to this one - 1 year ago. I hope that a less dumb alternative will come out soon.

I was talking to a fellow bitcoiner about this forum IRL and he said he thought it was "degenerating"  I disagree. I find it's getting better. Who's right? As of lately there's been a few people extorting others and threatening their lives if people don't pay money, plus following them around constantly making posts about how everything is a scam and crap to destroy people's reputation. The sad part is that even with multiple people reporting these situations, nothing is being done. Basically people can destroy your reputation if you don't want to give them however much money they want, and you can't do crap to defend yourself from it. The mods seriously need to start being more reactive and step in on this stuff. It's getting bad. |

+1 Obviously Agreed. I'm back from a two-year bitcointalk break and this place feels like a madhouse. Time to separate the wheat from the chaff and get it back on track. |

False! The lack of moderator activity is due to volume and inability to canvas. The obvious solution is allow more regulars on the forum to be moderators. When everyone has a gun, there is no violence. |
