Not sure I understand.
You're saying that discussion of bitcoin is impossible without subfora dedicated to promoting gambling, ponzis & warez?
Are these things somehow intrinsic to bitcoin?
No, I'm not saying that. But, with the subforums dedicated to gambling, ponzis, and warez, the newbies and people who don't know what they are doing are less likely to be drawn into scams since it is made abundantly clear that things in these forums could be scams and that you could lose your money. If these weren't there, then threads promoting scams would be everywhere and it would be difficult to know what a scam is, what could be a scam, or what is legit.

Aha. So to prevent n00bs from losing their bitcoin in a section dedicated to illegal unregistered internet gambling, theymos created a special subforum for ponzis.

Not having ponzis and gambling subs on a forum created for discussion and promotion of Bitcoin simply isn't an option because?

Wait.. no one is forcing you to put your bitcoin in the ponzi schemes.... this is the thing that a lot of users don't understand. He created that second trash section (yes it is only a trash...) to collect all the useless thread and I suggest always the users "don't take part to those ponzi schemes".
