Should bitcointalk ban promotion of other forums?

No forum can compete or even come close to what Bitcointalk has achieved when you talk of forums about Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency

Why do you feel so ? There can be number of factors causing another forum to become more popular than this forum. Like suppose, the current forum owner makes some bad decisions because of which good members here migrate to another forum, this can be one reason. It does not matter if you are the first forum related to crypto. What matters is who is solving the problem of users in a better way.

No forum can compete or even come close to what Bitcointalk has achieved when you talk of forums about Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency, Bitcointalk is what Google and all into Bitcoin are recommending, all forums exist because of their niche, Bitcointalk and all the other forums are popular because of the popularity of Bitcointalk.

Before Google, there was dominance of Yahoo. They also never imagined that one day Google will be become bigger than them. So, never underestimate your competitor.

This is a bad comparison, in terms of references and content Bitcointalk is unique and way ahead, whenever a forum about Bitcoin and Nakamoto is mentioned Bitcointalk will always come out as the source, and we also have to consider many of the best projects that you see in the market started here.
I don't rule out that Altcoinstalk will be bigger I've seen its improvement, and it's unique on its way, just like Bitcointalk's own uniqueness, they should co-exist and it benefits the whole community.

I like this warning, it's such a sensitive one of awareness, but unfortunately doesn't perfectly match with the situation here. Bitcointalk is already established but the altcoin forum is still not so established but just using what happened with the m!xers ban to actualise more relivance. There is nothing bad in it but the forum should be thankful for the liberal nature of Bitcontalk, if a rule is enforced that there is no double standard, I think that would affect a lot of relevance received by the forum lately.

That is what I call Power and Bitcointalk has it more than it. Aside from that, I believe that many will teleport to the altcoin forum and many more will not, which still makes Bitcointalk more valid even as those who move to altcoins still have a presence in Bitcointalk. You can't compare it directly with the case of Google and Yahoo because Bitcointalk is well-established already, unlike Yahoo which was sleeping then when a lot still has to be done.

We've seen the forum's a open debate community we're allowed to say what we want including talking about other forums so why's it discussed. OP why's it matter?
