[Helena Yu]

First I want to say Happy New Year for Bitcointalk fellows, it's already 2023 and we need to be better for every year. However last year there were many things happen in this forum and I want to compile it in this thread especially the big events. Maybe you guys were forget what's happening on this forum in 2022, so I would like to make you remember about the past events. Here I will present: Bitcointalk Rewind 2022!

January 31, 2022	|	It's started from Unofficial report badge created by mprep where theymos have a plan to create it since 2018 but there's still no official implementation about the reporter badge.

February 7, 2022	|	Ratimov have been revealed if he already made 100,000 good reports from July 2019 to Feb 2022, it's really a big numbers and I wonder how he can be very active to report those bunch of low value posts since it would be time consuming. Although he get 562 bad reports, but his statistic is 100% which mean very close to 100% so the forum rounded the amount.

March 13,2022	|	LTC Casino is a scam casino that allow their gamblers to play without KYC and using VPN. Many people was welcome about this casino and interested to gamble because most of casinos in this forum are licensed, not allow VPN and mandatory KYC. Based on my observations, users in this forum are have high privacy, so they're trying to avoid gamble on KYC casino. But bad thing happen on this casino after someone create accusations thread and the money they scammed is really high for 1496 LTC or worth for $15,000 at that time. The casino block the victim account and they said it's under investigation, but provider of the gambling said they found nothing.

Change name to "The Sceptical Chymist"

Oh Helena Yu, you big sweetheart, you!  This thread is obviously supposed to be a highlight reel of bitcointalk in 2022, and my name change is trivial compared to most of the other things on your list--but thanks for remembering the details of how it happened.  Theymos wasn't rewarding me for doing post history reviews, though.  Hispo and/or Power Glove contacted him unbeknownst to me, and they really did me a solid on that.

Preev going down really sucked, because I use it to check bitcoin's price almost exclusively.  And there's even a silver round produced by Anonymous Mint that has a QR code linking to their site.  It'd be a shame if that particular round suddenly had a useless design (but it's still a cool BTC collectible).

Memory fails, as does the motivation to search.  Was that charity fiasco involving three forum members in 2022, or was it last year?  I think that ought to have made the list, because those members were otherwise trusted and went down in flames as a result of the mismanagement of the funds entrusted to them.

Well done for mentioning this dude, such a disgrace. I guess he closed door for many others who were hopping to get unbanned someday.

Nice collection, can you share your selection criteria? Or the reasons that will make you add or delete topics to that list.

Was that charity fiasco involving three forum members in 2022, or was it last year?  I think that ought to have made the list, because those members were otherwise trusted and went down in flames as a result of the mismanagement of the funds entrusted to them.

Yeah it's maybe one of biggest case in this forum because AFAIK there's no case about charity that run by trusted users, but since it's happen on end of the year 2021, I didn't include it. Here's the thread Bitcointalk Charity and its funds.

That was one big change happened on bitcointalk and gave hope to few other boards too Pak.

I hope you will get your local board in the next year, so I can add it on my Rewind 2023 thread

Nice collection, can you share your selection criteria? Or the reasons that will make you add or delete topics to that list.
You could get some nice layouts/tables^{[1] [2]} to show off your list, although the current layout is just fine.

Honestly I don't have a strict rules to count it as a "big event", but I take a consideration through combination of few criteria like:
1. Received a lot of merit.
2. Has many pages and the discussion has carry some weight.
3. A new thing and development to the forum.
4. It has a relation with Bitcointalk users.
5. Popular and trusted user or service that operated in this forum.

Thanks for the suggestion, if I have a free time I will try to improve it

I was going to make this thread but you beat me to it. Well done OP. I added some threads to ones you already listed and tried my best to arrange them in a tabular form. This is not the best table but I hope you can improve on it.

Technically 2021 but so late in the year I wouldn't say it shouldn't or couldn't be included in 2022 review. 1/3 members involved reputations had been salvaged and I had hopes for the other 2 to do the same but that didn't happen.

OP, your idea is great and I think you also have a decent collection to have in your thread. Maybe I've missed a few things in 2022 including drama and other, but I really want to look it now.

It was started from Bitlucy case, but there's a heat between BitcoinGirl.Club and JollyGood since they have different opinion about it. First BitcoinGirl.Club leave red tag to JollyGood and then JollyGood leave red tag to BitcoinGirl.Club, since BitcoinGirl.Club think he doesn't deserve to get red tag, he open a thread to ask to the communities. However the result is JollyGood revised his feedback from negative to neutral while BitcoinGirl.Club still stand with his negative feedback.

Nice collection Helena Yu so there's never a boring month on bitcointalk

It never will be LOL
The feedback was given in wrong time but unfortunately that was the time when I noticed it too. If it's hard to justify then anyone can look at the feedback on the user starmyc. We had some PM conversation and it was clear that justice was not severed to starmyc. JollyGood was taking the advantage of the situation with the red tag he left. He even did not pay the guy for the work. Eventually starmyc decided to leave the forum and focus on the things he is good at. He is now a successful software engineer as far as I understand from the PMs he sent me.

The kind of things JollyGood does on the forum is obviously not good for the growth of the community as well as for individual members who are still working to establish a position in the community. Talking about it here will be off-topic so we better skip details.

Sorry I didn’t mean to bring up old quarrels. Forgive the errors, I wasn’t here in 2020 when it started, only 2021 and 2022 threads I can boost of, the thread I listed was created in 2022. Thank you for the corrections, I’d be happy to correct some other mistake I may have made with the others.

It sure is  

Next time don't be late, do it as soon as you have an idea. ;v
But can you remove all those bold text and make it be as usual, it seems my eyes are not healthy anymore seeing all those bold text for more than one PC screen.

Yeah it’s a good lesson to begin the year with. No Procrastination! It’s amazing someone else was thinking the same thing. Maybe myself and Helena Yu are in sync

Dec 19. yahoo62278's illness story.

That revelation threw up deep reflection (for me) on what issues we pass through in real life but unannounced online. I give kudos to Yahoo on how efficient and effective he has continued to manage campaigns despite what he's going through.

Dec 21. Christmas Gift to Nigerians: Nigerian Board Created.

Yes, you can say that again. It was a pleasant surprise for us Nigerians and it couldn't have come at a better time than it did. I'm sure a lot of peeps in our community will continue to remember that. Again, by that act , theymos displayed to the community that he has a listening ear. While to the Naija community, it shows what endurance and perseverance can do.

[UserU]

my name change is trivial compared to most of the other things on your list--but thanks for remembering the details of how it happened. 

Aww don't say that, having theymos notice a single name change request is revolutionary, meanwhile we're still waiting for our reporter badges

That's a revelation that made me really understand that many people here we see their username daily making posts here are passing through one or two difficult conditions.
Yahoo's situation might be less compared to some unrevealed situations here in the forum.
That has actually taught be a great lesson to continue to be friendly with everyone here as much as possible as I could.

I'm happy that we've got alot of peeps beginning the year with some wonderful legacies...to improve, motivate and teach the LEARNED and the ROOKIES too( no one is above the learning process,yeah) ... It's been a while I saw something as refreshing as this on META and it's worth the time and protocols, Kudos dude!!
We all have different areas of specialization/discipline in here; alot got registered in here and -- right from time they came, they began to STRONGLY kick against any form for FRAUDULENCE$ SPAM -- those set of users grow to become users like LOVESMAY and JOLLYGOOD,(everyone does, but these guys are watching even when everyone else is tired and feels nothing is happening) pretty simple. I'd encourage the OP -- go ahead with your good works -- as long we have the same goal, which is fulfilling the PURPOSE of the forum.

There's a zero KYC and free VPN usage casino in this forum, name LTC Casino.

I think this part should be rewritten. You now make it sounds as if it's a good site to use. It's not: they have a valid Newbie warning Flag and negative feedback for the fact that they lied several times about their "investigation" in their scam accusation topic.

For the rest: nice summary

[Helena Yu]

I was going to make this thread but you beat me to it. Well done OP. I added some threads to ones you already listed and tried my best to arrange them in a tabular form. This is not the best table but I hope you can improve on it.

Thank you very much, I've add, delete and do some modify on the BBCode

Lol I don't expect any user will create such kind thread to be honest since there's no rewind 2021, 2020 and older.

Thanks for your input, it's done

What about the table? I think it's better than previous 

[2double0]

Table is looking well established, and all the stories are to the point. Well researched.
I know I'm not one of the noteworthy people here, but I'd like to share my personal experience (after seeing NotATether's return).
I had been fighting hard with a disease for the last 2 years and I could not manage to come online too often last year, else I have been here almost each year. After sorting everything IRL, I finally decided to join my family back again. So, I came back in November after a long gap of 1 year. I hope to contribute well and become a well known member of the community this time.

interviews with forum memebers

Really? Is that the most interesting, noteworthy, or significant thing I did last year? All I did was answer some questions that someone sent to me.  Didn't seem significant to me.
