I don't know about you guys, but I am absolutely shocked and embarrassed with the current state of this Gambling forum. This forum is overrun by thread after thread of empty spam threads (i.e. "Is Gambling Wrong?", "Should Gambling be Illegal?", "Would You Gamble if You Were Rich?" etc.), being constantly bumped to the top signature spammers (I understand I am running a signature as well, but I do not spam in those useless threads).
Well the BCT forum is run by people and not bots. All these questions asked are made by people themselves. Regarding you question, I believe a new section should be made named "Experiences in Daily Life"

Back when I spent a lot of time here in 2013-2014, this forum had a community feel to it. The threads were ENTIRELY gambling start ups and businesses. You could see all the cool new gambling ventures being started by enterprising individuals, many of whom came with awesome promotions to kick start their sites with their first users.
This is the same thing I see in Quora, a Q&A platform. This can't be helped unless you move BCT to the deep web.

That sense of community and innovation is now completely void on this forum. I personally don't even check in to here very often, and it's even rarer that I post. I'm sure countless others have done the same, too.

Well, you and we all can suggest theymos to change the feeds as per the user's taste.

Don't forget the securities section.  There are 101 scam attempts for each legitimate thread.  Some of them don't even make an effort.  I scooped up these "securities" off the first page and not one of them is even remotely resembling a legitimate offering.  It goes beyond being "embarrassed" to wondering why nothing is done to discourage the practice.

Well, they are too lazy to search for threads, humans as we are.
