Is this forum boring?

[peter0425]

Reply with a Yes or a No

I'm saying yes, it needs more images, more awards, more legit activities

Admin is lazy asf

What awards you are looking then? Seems it's not boring because you have busted one Legendary member selling his account isn't it? So why don't you continue doing? It will be fun on your end. You can also look at this thread, Bitcointalk trolls, dysfunction and all out flame wars. Guide to the scandals.  .

I say no, because i like old template of this site, member ranking and new merit system.. i should say this service section is really good for earn money, you can join signature campagin or if you have good skill to do things like graphic designer...

its best forum as i know about crypto

The forum has what it needs to. All you got to do is to reach them by making yourself worthy of them. Besides, you can't go to a yoga class expecting to hear rock music and see people moving their butts like crazy. This forum serves what it's intended to, and even more.

There are usually two reasons for being bored. One is that you have learned enough, and can't satisfy your curiosity here. The other is that you are not a person who is optimistic about life.
For beginners, here is simply the ocean of crypto knowledge. You can learn different things every day. Why do you feel bored?

I wouldn’t call it boring: You’ve got soap operas (mainly in the reputation section), dramas (scam, banned and merit related threads), comedies (flat earth thread, "I did not plagiarize" threads, etc.), science (bitcoin/altcoin technical boards), kid’s time entertainment programs (social reporting for example), Big Brother (popcorn cat fights all over), etc.

There is a decrease in posting activity though, that seems to bring things down a notch recently.

I noticed this too, I was wondering if it's down to the fall in the price of the bitcoins or we generally have got a reduction in shitposters and quality posters alike.
More and more users are staying away from the"start new topic button" I think in one way or another it's good for the forum,but I'll love to see more quality topics even If they fill the whole place up..

Meta has been in "grave yard" mode for days now,other than ban appeals/bumped old threads

True lol 

All boards are interesting, (at least could be), It's just that all boards are filled with senseless threads and replies. Users need to avoid a lot of conversations, and once he gets the good one, he needs to do the same with the majority of replies. And only then can start to read a conversation in peace.
A lot of threads I don't bother to open to read, sometimes seeing the username I also don't bother with. There are a lot more interesting posts to read, it just that the forum is flooded.

[Kopyleft]

It all depends on what sort of excitements you desire from the forum. The forum borders on legitimate discussions about bitcoins and alternative currencies and everything happening in the cryptocurrency world.

Once in a while there are a couple of posters who make quite hilarious threads. But in a whole discussion is kept relevant or not at all.
Everyone is free to organise a contest or reward program, so you can do so if it's the excitement you desire.

Think this is expected with the recent price hits. Normally, we get the initial throwing the toys out of the pram, and loads of questions, and panic posts. Then that dies down when these users leave, because "Bitcoin is dead", and we are left with those who are truly into Bitcoin, and don't get too reactionary.

It'll likely be a few quiet months, until there's some major event that influences the price again.

The real enthusiasts will return once the bulk of the new people spam posting icos leave.

Before the next huge uptick for btc I hope we can have some junior discussion boards to contain the next wave.

You don't want lots of posts from lots of new people just pushing their 100 bucks investments in multiple icos hoping for moon shots, you are better off having some good threads where you see a concentration of good posters getting together. It is easier to locate potentially good threads and not have them filled with text spun canned replies when there are not huge waves coming in that are purely financially driven and have no interest in trustless decentralised projects.

I don't see any of the great posters still posting that were here before the end of 2017.

Most real enthusiasts will be here posting regardless of current prices.

Anything can be boring to one person and exciting to the other. You ask for subjective opinion, when one can even find stamp collecting exciting. I say it is not boring, so what? It is only my opinion.

Nah, the people posting their scam projects will use the current drop as a advertisement. "Bitcoin is dying invest in X now!". Yeah, I've already seen that. The altcoin section is still going strong, and they are only feeding off this. People will start panicking, and will go into altcoins instead. Several senior members have done this in the past when Bitcoin seemed to be struggling.It was litecoin back then that people flocked too.

Market probably dropped the interest of core bitcoin investors, as there little to discuss in the situation except speculations and the occasional FUD.
A more active forum does not automatically relate to a more fun forum though, sometimes the drama in here might be a little too much for my taste.

Not really, the forum has comparatively become quiet even before the price plummeted, especially in regions like Reputation and Meta, people just have started to disappear, again.

Gosh, I wish I was more active. We need to spice things up a little, bring some interest in people. Even the tinniest of things like having the Reporter Badges finally done, might sparkle something nice. We would like to know what is going on with the new forum as well, but that's too much to ask, for the price of it was like only a few million bucks and the deadline was due years ago.

I don't agree with you. I think forum become really calm. You probably didn't saw what was going on in Reputation section few years ago. It was real soap operas and dramas with hundreds of posts daily. And probably half of these threads was about Lauda made by Quickseller and his alts . And majority of reputed forum members was called as alts of Lauda at some point . I'm missing these threads because it was fun to read.
Nowadays in Meta or Reputation we can see pretty much same things each day - banned users for plagiarism, Merit abuse, complaints about unfair Merit system, exposed scam ICO's. Sometimes I'm feeling like in Groundhog Day by visiting these boards.
If we talk about situation in other boards in general, it's probably related to current situation in crypto markets.

I was away for a month so do forgive me if it started to drop off before, but I'm just looking at my reports, and seeing how many I'm actually getting compared to before I went away, and its no where near the amount, and this started to happen right around the price drop. That doesn't prove anything necessarily, because there was only a few users reporting by mass anyway. Just an observation I made.

Yeah no, even I have become quite inactive, IRL issues come first, so I have to pay heed to them more than anything else.

So like reporters have only reduced? That's not surprising, seeing how things have been, I am surprised people are still here, remove the signatures and you'll have more chances of seeing crows than actual users.

Honestly, there's literally no motivation whatsoever for the reporters here, everything seems dead to me, at least. Wonder if we would ever get to know something useful, from the forum's perspective, like knowing whatever happened to Slickage delivering the forum on time, which was supposedly 4 years ago.

Part of the reason for the price drop is the massive economic changes that are happening at the moment. I would have expected that there would be an increase in quality posting as a result, and it is a sadness to me that this isn't happening.

For example, the US is increasing its extraction of oil, despite the fact that much of US processes are uneconomic at current price levels. It has to do this in an attempt to save the petro-dollar. The increase in US production is about the same as the amount that the Saudis have agreed to reduce - is this a coincidence? Many see the dollar as the ultimate safe haven currency, but some are starting to doubt this, and are switching to physical gold and silver. There is also evidence that a few of the banking whales are purchasing large blocks of Bitcoin, and the price depression is being manipulated to their advantage. I have tried to start threads about such topics, but I haven't had much success. I'm either accused of being a tin hat wearer, or the threads are used as spamming vehicles or ignored. I can't be the only member that is interested in these important topics, and I think that the forum would benefit if members could support these discussions.

No this forum is not boring rather it is helpful to more creative in writings and earning which develops interest in the money matters.
