Most of the people from 2013 predicting double digit coins are missing, and the next wave of newcomers hasn't started yet. After a mega ATH they will eventually discover bitcointalk, then discover this thread a month or two later. Our voices will be lost in the noise of newbies by then.

Even though there was a FAQ link, they would ignore it and continually climbed over each other asking the same "how do I" and "what is this" questions.
Finally some enterprising channel OPs simply started banning everything from AOL.
