I really think this is going no where.

Welcome to the club.

I'd love to find a forum where it's less crowded with a lot more technical discussions. Ideally people there don't care about levels. There are new technologies being discussed.

There is no such place. If you want to follow technical discussions, then:
a) Follow the Bitcoin development mailing list.
b) Follow the Lightning development mailing list.
c) Read the #bitcoin-core-dev IRC channel.
d) Read the #bitcoin-dev IRC channel.
e) Read the #lnd IRC channel.
f) Obviously, (as you've mentioned) pay attention to the Github repos.

maybe i understand it wrong, besides technical discussions, exactly what kind of meritorious posts are the forum look to promote? i looked at the recent posts with merits (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=toptopics), most of them are posts that extolling the new merit system. (or helping to promoting, explaining, the new system.)

are those posts the admins want to define as meritorious posts?
if not, should they pay more attention to the actually useful ones and promote those?

if they want to fight signature campaigns, should they remove their signatures first?

Just like bitcoin itself, it's up for fork when the community can't agree.

That won't work.

Seriously, can't think of a better use case for DAO than such a forum!

Horrible idea.

why? I guess horribleness is relative. things just need to be less horrible than the alternative

Can't understand what's your point. You are looking for alternative bitcointalk, what do you expect? Suggesting of forum.bitcoin.com? No!
You asked technical question and didn't get answer? I highly doubt while we have these two persons: gmaxwell, achow101.
Do others post shit? Just ignore them. I am amazed why you don't even expect shit post on forums, not everyone is genius in crypto world.
Why do you care about merit posts in Meta board? You are looking for technical discussion, so hang on this board, click on - on left side.
