What Would Be Your Reason to Leave Bitcointalk?

[Initscri]

Perfect post to come back to after a year hiatus.

Honestly, I will be completely honest, it is somewhat tiring to have to weave through the not necessarily "spam" posts, but just posts with lack of effort. I don't think it's necessarily an issue with signature campaigns, but the downfall definitely started there. When I first joined BitcoinTalk it was a source of intellectual conversations - and frankly - business. When I left it had mostly turned into "post stuffing" in order to fill a quota. While it wasn't the primary reason for the hiatus (family, work, other personal items)

To be completely honest, while I attempted not to (hence my larger posts, coding projects to help the community etc), I myself fell burden to having to post something just to maintain activity and signature standing.

My primary preference with signature campaigns, is no post requirement. If I don't come on for a month to post something, I'm still in the campaign. My posts still have value / benefit to the signature campaign none-the-less. There should be no forced activity provided the account is in good standing / quality posts previously posted. Anything otherwise leads to the above.

First of all, welcome back.
You are not wrong about quality posts being quality posts yesterday, today, and tomorrow. However, they will get forgotten and buried under other posts unless you don't generate new ones of the same quality. It's like with advertisements on TV. It doesn't matter much if you had a good TV ad 2 years ago. Chances are that no one will remember it today when other ads are being shown to the people.

The major reason why I should consider leaving the forum is if I start developing sight problems, where would find it a bit difficult to see very clearly as a result of long term eye exposure to the screen of phone and laptops, Therefore,  in this case I have to take a leave to take absolute care of myself.
Too is old age , I don't think if I would be very active as at that time compared to how ative I am now, which might be due to health related issues , time etc as one gets old.
Lastly is a sudden death ,God forbid as I do not pray for that ,so a sudden death will Automatically exit me from the forum.

Thank you thank you!

I agree to some extent. I think it really depends on the nature of the post. Posts containing projects, code, information generally will be valued either from a community perspective, or SEO, regardless of the time since post.

However, I do think the vast majority of posts not adding value do unintentionally diminish those quality posts.

the reason may be if no one else is active in this forum and that's when I will also leave this forum. because it is impossible for me to discuss alone without the other members.

Something that is not listed in the poll and has occurred to me in 2018, which is disappointment about Bitcoin or in lack of interest in general. After 2018's market crash, I was so disappointed that I abandoned Bitcoin and the forum altogether. It took me over 3 years to login and start posting again. I rejoined the forum in 2021 and have been active ever since.

Welcome back!  I don't recognize your username, but you probably post in sections I don't regularly visit.

You're absolutely right that the decline in quality began with the inception of signature campaigns.  I wasn't a member when they came about, but I've done enough reading through very old threads and it's very obvious that there's a cause-effect relationship there, though I think things have improved since the merit system started.  Campaigns and bounties certainly still drive members to post crap they wouldn't normally do if there weren't a financial incentive, but account farming has been cut down dramatically and there aren't as many brand new accounts all over the place posting one-liners.

Huh.  Bitcoin's price never affected my affection for this forum, which is like an intersectional infectionism in my hare-brained noggin, if you know what I'm saying (which you probably don't).  That's kind of strange when I think about it, because when I registered I wasn't completely convinced bitcoin was here to stay.  Now that there's no doubt in my mind about that, it doesn't matter what the market does from month-to-month, as I'm convinced that bad times are just masking an overall upward trend.

The crash that we are experiencing in the last month or two could be called equally disappointing, but you are still here. It's good that you changed and learned a few things. In fact, Bitcoin just had the worst month in its history when the coin lost 40% of its value within 30 days. But the BTC value doesn't change what Bitcoin is and what it is capable of doing.

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.

For me, I don't think there is any reason that could stop me from continuing to be a member of this forum, because this forum has actually helped me understand Bitcoin in a way I would have never if only I relied on articles written online. And we have got experts always available to offer solutions to your crypto difficulties at all times, but there are some reasons which is beyond our control, and if it happens it might eventually stop me from coming to this forum, and they are as follows...

1. If Bitcoin no longer has value again ($0.00)

2. If I get ban from the forum

3. If age, family, life, and/or personal problems prevent me from being active.

4. If the administrators removed/banned signature campaigns.

5. And please, I will like to beg, please give Nigerians our Local board, so we could effectively communicate. Thanks 🙏

I came back here after 2018, I was really fascinated and curious by the technology of blockchain and bitcoin itself. bitcointalk is the only forum where i can get to know more from the like minded people.

I was totaly focused on my studies.

Now after four years, its  2022, now i am active here again.

[uchegod-21]

Two things would make me leave the forum if they happen.

1. If bitcoin fails, I will definitely not be here anymore. I have trust in bitcoin and I have started to teach my family and friends about it as the future of finance. If bitcoin fails and eventually this forum still exists, I would not be able to visit here again. Here would definitely be reminding me of the failed bitcoin and I would find it difficult to move on.

2. If I am accused of what I didn't do and eventually got tagged for an offence I didn't commit. I would consider to quit the forum.
I think this will not happen, because people that tags always do so with proven reasons. It is just my fear.

To be honest, not exactly. I wasn't that attached to Bitcoin back then, nor did I believe in its capabilities, and that was my ultimate mistake. If I hadn't given up, even if I was in the lowest paying campaign, within those 3 years I was away, I'd certainly have made a couple of thousands, since Bitcoin skyrocketed again near the end of 2020. It's the mistake I regret the most, because in 2018, I had some knowledge about cryptocurrencies and the capability of purchasing, something that I didn't have as a 15-year-old teenager in 2014, which was my year of registration on Bitcointalk.

I'm determined that I'm not going to quit again, not planning on repeating the same mistake again. I've set a few goals regarding Bitcoin in 2022, I'm hoping to accomplish them.

Two reason why I leave this forum. First is getting banned I will leave if I got banned and second thing is when I am in serious illness in real life and I need to rest in order to be better but if not then no reason why I leave here. All I need to know about crypto is in here. This is my second school that many teachers who teach a lot for everyone to learn more and more. And also I got friends through here in real life.
