I have a silly silly question to ask, please do forgive me.
Why is millions of dollars spent on the new forum? This much money spent on the new forum won't eradicate the scammers and scumbags and shit posters away. This is none of my business but still am curious about it. And will there be more number of mods in the new forum at least? And what's the current state of the new forum?
Sorry for the off topic spam here. Cry

It probably wasn't millions when theymos put the offer to code the new forum out, it was more around ~275k$ worth of bitcoin.

The price simply increased 10-50fold, hence why it's now more like 10-20 million.

You can see the current state of the new forum here, https://beta.bitcointalk.org/404 Roll Eyes

Don't look at it too long, since you are going to hate every little aspect about it. ( Or is that just me?)
