I know this just a little thing to consider, and I usually notice small details, and I have read multiple times where people refer to this forum as BTT, BCT, BTCT, etc., probably you have read them too, and I think we need to have a standard.

topic, I think there is still no official abbreviation or acronym to describe Bitcointalk. Or not that I know of. The close one is this below (from the previous thread by
Lorenzo)
Because the forum is HTTPS, you will not receive any referrer info from clicks! If you want to track forum clicks, put something like "?bct" at the end of your URL, and look for that in your access logs.
Either you go for an initialism (pronounce each letter) to form the new word. Depends on your preference.

- BCT has the most results but ever since the previous thread, BTT was only around 7780 and now it's 20200. Considerably a lot higher. My guess that it has been used in the Altcoins Section because of the BTT coin. Not necessarily the forum name.
We all know we want to keep things short, so maybe cast your vote on which is the best for you and what you have used over the past. I personally like using BTCT (it makes sense Bitcoin+Talk) instead of BTT and BCT. Based on my research, BCT is still the number one used.
Any takes on this? And maybe there would be finalization and have standardization throughout the forum. Just my thoughts.
