I did not expect that a lot of donations were in 2017, it turns out that the minimum donation was $ 7900 and the maximum could be 200 000 $, and in 2018 there no donations at all, although half a year has passed.
Those donators have all been the quality this forum had at that time and we realize that when we read the threads from that time. They being missing is one of the reasons why the forum is in such a situation where spam is the first thing you see when you open a section to read something good.
It seems to me that spam is just a symptom, and the reason is the crazy popularity growth of crypto currencies, everything is changing, perhaps at one time only constructive dialogues were conducted on this forum, but now there are plenty of newcomers, most of whom understand little about smart contracts, decentralization and crypto currencies in general and aims only to earn, is it bad? Of course it's bad, but maybe in a year or so, these people will start to study those things, and in five years they will be able to bring something of their own into the crypto community, in everything there can be positive sides.
