(Good) Suggestion for newbies and even those members who've been here a while

[Donneski]

I haven't done much like I honestly want to when it comes to reading posts that were made in the early days of the forum. The few I've read like that of Laszlo's post history was when I was making a research about him. I was very surprised the day I saw a thread that was created by Satoshi himself never knew he was a forum member before that day. This thread is surely a good reminder for me and I'll do my best to make the best out of it. There's never s time I read a post that were made over a decade ago that I didn't learn from them. Thsvk you for this reminder.

  New members like myself come in and immediately want to know what's pumping now, nobody thinks to scroll back and see how this whole thing actually played out.

Since joining this forum, I have pondered over more than a million mysteries about this forum. So many unknown and so many anonymity everywhere in the forum. I have browsed through threads, searched and searched. At a time I started wondering how this forum came to be, that was when I realised that this forum was as old as bitcoin and that there could be another forum before this one.

I have also attempted knowing who started this forum just to realise that Satoshi himself did that. It's all mysterious and legends have really been here. Hal Finney's reign and very many people once suspected to be Satoshi Nakamoto and I stumbled on the first post made by Satoshi himself
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5.msg28#msg28

I went in to search further too about Satoshi https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3and discover he disappeared since 2010.

One thing about reading is that it brings you to start asking questions about why? When? Where? How? Who? These are questions that define existence and humanity. Satoshi has done his part and even thermos has been accused to be Satoshi. History is life and everyone especially newbies need to draw from the wisdom of gurus to start having an entirely different view about this forum by seeing it for what it was meant for before considering campaigns.

And also....1) Fact not widely known: I joined this forum to troll it.  2) I wish I could take this post back, but I don't believe in erasing posts to conceal ignorance:

I remember your Huge Black Woman profile, which was highly entertaining.

Wait, what?   In my 15 years here I never saw you as a troll.  I guess we posted in different areas.  

You can go through his alter ego account which I posted above. It was hilarious. He should activate that account.  
A few historical topics for newbies.

I don't think I posted in any of those.   At the forum's peak, it was amazing how many users were coming and going. There was so much data being created that two legendary users may never read each other's posts.

Scroll down to the first page of the forum look for anything worth reading, it's actually fun. You get to know more about the creator of bitcoin, the early adopters and many other interesting discussions..

The fact is people barely use the search button and most times they don't even make use of all these tools we have scattered all across the forum even if they come very much in handy. The fact is things will not even change and this same complaints have been around for long and it's most likely gonna continue.

I usually look through old profiles, and one way or another I see posts by other people who didn't know where to put bitcoin (for example) or, on the contrary, expected great success from it but left the forum before we saw its huge growth.

This forum has many uses and history too. But people not recognising it most of the time doesn't really mean it's forgotten it's just not being seen.
