What Would Be Your Reason to Leave Bitcointalk?

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Death. Though I may still haunt the forum after I die. Haven't decided yet.

, you need a friend, so let me know when you die and decides to haunt the forum, when I die, we haunt the forum together, they say two is better than one, it will be more fun if we do it together, you haunt the Bitcoin board, I haunt the Altcoin board, we will probably need more friends whom you can assign to other boards, like scam and accusation board and the rest. 😁

Umm it might be nice to have an 'I love bitcointalk and yeah am not going to leave it' option...
I know I have been flaky and taking my time to contribute but I f'ing love this forum.

Bump!!!

Pmalek, because of this thread, I thought it would be good to bumping your thread to above especially since the discussion is the same. This thread is still good enough to get more replies than having to start it in a new thread.

So for @Fivestar4everMVP, let's continue the discussion here and lock your thread.

As the poll is now closed, I cannot remember if I already voted or not. My choice would probably be "Age, family, life, and/or personal problems prevent me from being active.", although "Getting banned" is also a valid reason. However, I wonder how many people actually lied when choosing that option. 

[Daniel91]

I also can't remember if I voted in the poll or not.
In fact, when I look at the answers provided, my answer doesn't seem to be there 
Honestly, I have left this forum several times for a short while and the reason was always the same, tiredness from this forum.
I simply get bored with the forum at a certain point and have no motivation to participate in the discussions.
This will surely be the main reason for my permanent exit from the forum, when it happens.

[Pmalek]

I don't remember closing the poll. Is it not possible to vote any longer? I can see a "Lock Voting" button on my end. To me, that suggests that voting is still possible, otherwise that button wouldn't be there. I have not created many polls so I am not really sure how they work and my thinking could be wrong.

Thank you forbumping this topic up because I missed this poll and discussion. I also left my vote in this poll and found out that only 2 real reasons can force users (most of them) to leave this forum: a ban and lack of time. If I can agree with the first, then the second reason, it seems to me, is not so significant. Because it doesn't take long to be relatively active on a forum. It is not necessary to spend several hours every day here and it is enough to spend a little time a couple of times a week. Therefore, if desired, this item "Age, family, life, and/or personal problems prevent me from being active" is easily eliminated.

The poll is still visible on my end and can also submit my vote along with view results so can say it's active and working fine on my end as reflected in the image below:



So it might be problem on his end only and also don't have an detailed idea about poll working as have not created them so don't know what problem he might be facing in it.

Lol,,, hilarious! Your user spills it too.
I guess that's when you get to the after life and discover that bitcoin has been fully accepted as the means of payment over there. Hence those hodling could as well come back to get there private keys and see phrase to make proper use of there life long investment and not relinquish it to some inheritance and have someone buy a Rolls Royce with it and some lavish house in Hawai and throw parties in the Las Vegas, the city of light, lol.

Well seriously, as I see it know. What could make me live the forum ranges from age as per when my eyes fails me and death. There is no stop to learning and so, you keep pushing until your organs fail and the forum have been a unique community for me.

[Falconer]

Bump!!!

Thanks for bumping this thread.


Have voted 5 answers in the poll, I hope it is the closest choice for me personally. 2 of the answers I chose were common choices that most users chose and that's because it's forbidden and also age, family, life or other issues are preventing me from being active. While I still dedicate a fair amount of time to forums apart from signature campaigns or just discussing what I love to do.

[jamyr]

This would be a reason => if it is no longer fun and/or productive for me,

Why:

4 posts of mine was simultaneously deleted.

I have posted those with a happy heart.
I don't think all of them crossed the line of being off-topic, except maybe for the one with "Airgrab". but that was the funniest thing I had after a long day.
Were they too short? Were they incomprehensible? Were they frowned upon? Is it because I am wearing a paid signature?

Is there a chance I could reason with who deleted it?


edit:

Thanks for providing the possible reasons @Pmalek +1

This isn't really the place to discuss this, but posts don't get deleted only for being off-topic.

I can see that some posts were deleted in the Wasabi Wallet V2.0 Pinoy Discussion. What I can see is that you are multiposting. 22 June - 2 posts in a row in the same day. The same things happened on 30 June and 7 July.
I am not sure what is the reason for deletion of your post in Dabs' donation campaign.
Your last post in DOST naglunsad ng Blockchain Training Program was deleted. It's not in a language I understand, so I can't get into more details about the reasons.
Yeah, the Airgrab one was unnecessary and can be considered low-effort and unnecessary spam.

[Benkbeny]

I don't have any reason why I should leave the forum yet since am still new.
But I don't pray to see any reason because I am enjoying the company here

[SquirrelJulietGarden]

I would leave Bitcointalk if in Meta, I only see topics about Merit

[philipma1957]

Bitcointalk has seen many of its old-timers leave and never return to the forum again. There are many reasons why people make such decisions. Still, dissatisfaction with something that happened on the site could be one reason to give up on it.

Forums as mediums for discussions aren’t as popular among the new generations any more. Social media and platforms like Discord or Telegram have significant communities nowadays. But forums still have their charms. And Bitcointalk will always have historical relevance as the place where it all begun.

A study conducted in 2019 shows Americans prefer to use discussion forums in search of reliable information. 88% of all respondents replied that they are members of online platforms. 72% believe that forums share much more trustworthy and reliable information compared to social media.

With all this in mind, I have created a poll. I am interested in finding out the reasons you would decide to leave Bitcointalk and never return here again. You can vote for more than one of the given options. 5 votes per user is the maximum.

Sorry I missed this.

I answered only 3

If I got banned
If I got sick
If I needed privacy or tax relief.

BTW those are the top three answers.

[coinerer]

Family, life, and/or personal problems prevent me from being active for long time. I have been inactive in the forum for a long time due to my personal problems. But the love for the forum is not over yet. So for some time now I have resolved all the problems and came back to the forum again. I am trying again to stay active on the forum.

Let's be honest, signature campaigns is the reason why most people are here so if admins will ban those campaigns then I think active members will decline to more than half. People will just check this website to gather some info about the current trend on crypto space but will leave immediately once they learned enough. Other choices are not enough reason for someone to leave this forum permanently, they will always come back as long as they aren't banned and can still help them financially.

I agree with that. Signature campaigns and altcoin bounties. Even if they are not as popular as they once wore, bounty campaigns still attract plenty of users. Especially those in third-world countries where even $5 to $10 more a month means a lot. They are willing to sacrifice their time and not earn anything in 9/10 campaigns if there is one that will pay them something that can be exchanged and traded for a reputable cryptocurrency.

This is actually the truth, which is confirmed through all the statistical reports on the activities of this forum, from Rikafip and other members.
In general, the trend is that internet forums are becoming less and less popular, while telegram groups, social networks and similar methods of internet communication are becoming more popular.
This forum follows similar trends and has less and less active members and activities every month.
As much as the signature campaigns affected the quality of this forum due to the large number of low-quality posts, they still helped to keep this forum as active and interesting for new users.

Spam and low-effort posts can be fought by signature campaign managers as well as the administration. If the managers didn't count and paid for meaningless posts, the participants would have only a few choices: they can either improve to get paid or leave the campaign, which would also result in them posting less. The third option is to keep posting the way they did in the past, but if it wasn't good enough in weeks #1, 2, 3, chances are their posting quality will be considered insufficient in the weeks after as well.
