Thank you for giving me the opportunity to frame my ideas for starting this. Maybe I'm not explaining myself right. Let me try again.

Smooth and his cronies have basically backed us into a corner here for two years. Now you may say who cares, this is only BitcoinTalk, we can succeed in the real world. In my opinion, that's true, but lacks a certain focus. No matter what your opinion is about this site, the fact of the matter remains that it is the largest source of crypto information with the largest audience. When newbies come into the cryptosphere through Bitcoin, they inevitably sign up here. If they start to look to diversify, maybe even contribute to other projects, they look to the Altcoin message board. These are real people, with real talents to offer, and the first thing about Dash that they see is Evan is a scammer, Dash is bad crypto, Dash is insecure, etc. Now some may choose to do their own research, but the vast majority will not.

I can't even begin to fathom how many people we may have lost out on during the first two years because of this. People with families, friends, skills to give.

Taking back our identity on this site, over all others, is EXTREMELY important due to those reasons.

The school-boy bullies won't define us anymore. We will define us through the qualities we know we have here. This will be invaluable to the Dash project over time.

BCT matters. We are Dash Nation. Let's take back the discussion.

Thanks for all who helped me today. Please keep up the positive posts, and let me deal with the trolls. Fantastic job today.
