Would an alternative to bitcoin talk be good or not?

Would it be useful for when the forum goes down and stuff or would it be bad

I also prefer to have only one forum, more active and more info

There's been many forums which have tried to compete with this forum and normally fail within a few months and end up closing. This forum has been here from pretty much the start of Bitcoin and has history, such as Satoshi signing up and being active once upon a time. This forum also has a lot of content which helps new comers. For any forum to compete it needs to mature and not suspect instant results.

There's been a new one created a few weeks back and I don't think it's going to last already.

there are many other bitcoin related forums, btw.

I look at it the same way I look at all the alt. currencies, if the main stuff we use goes down then at least we have plenty of properly working backups.

IMHO let it untouched as it is so far. so we have two constants bitcoin.org (software) and bitcointalk.org (communication). it will be very healthy for the growing-up of Bitcoin because Open Source tend to fragmentation but humans needs constant in their lives.

There's already an alternative, r/bitcoin...

I don't think it would be good. But, backups are always nice to fall back on.

i like the idea of more than one forum. unfortunately, it is unlikely to take off.

There are hundreds out there. Do a quick google search and you will find around 10 daily users.....yea.

I like the idea. The forums out there the more available information and different approaches to moderation. Also if one site goes down you can always go to the other and find out information.
