Statistics was updated as of the 1st of august 2020. The number of active users is decreasing for the fifth month in a row. If the number of active uses keeps on decreasing, there is an assumption that their number will be twice as low in a year.
Makes you wonder what is causing it. Covid? People loosing interest? Other places to discuss? I have my own theory as to why, but it's not popular so I'll just keep it to myself.
Since there is, at least for now, a good increase in price makes you wonder what numbers August will show.

You can share your opinion on why the active users are decreasing and your opinion does not need to be popular ofcourse. I think covid can be one of the reason but as the bitcoin price will increase and pandemic is over, we will see more active users on the forum.
Since tvplus006 did not update then numbers for August, I'll just go ahead and post my thoughts.
1) The crap in the Politics & Society section. Right / left / moderate / whatever. There are people here to discuss
BTC and see having that entire board as a big negative. There are people on either side who don't want to be on a board with people on the other side.
2) The lack of nuking of troll accounts. When you are trying to have a discussion and certain people keep popping up. Not to put too fine a point on it, but there are places where you can go to discuss that if you try that kind of crap it's removed and the poster gets a ban
3) The constant altcoin / token scam of the week. Yeah, I play around with alts, and I fully know it's a dumpster fire, but the "purists" think it's evil.
4) The constant bickering about DT.
All those together, drive a few people away, they then take away a few more who say "go here instead" and so on.
Just my view, a lot of people may agree or disagree, but it's what I have seen and what I feel.
