I think bitcointalk.org is the absolute worst place to talk about Bitcoin, except for all the other places.
There's something about this place that keeps it relevant in spite of its warts, and I'm not sure that whatever it is would move to a new forum. It's been tried before.
It's never been tried by me. It's been tried by others who wanted fame or fortune from their endeavor. I want transparency and to end the hypocrisy. In that, I will succeed no matter who supports this project or not, I just may not succeed in pulling in those who seek out corruption to benefit from it. (i.e. I highly doubt the forum I am designing will be popular with the scammers since they are effectively neutralized).
The reason that this forum is still relevant is because the oldest members in the community are still here, as are the ones who are the smartest, as are the ones who are the richest, as are the ones who talk the most. If you can convince the ones who talk the most to move, the rest will follow. Guess which one I am.
