I think this thread is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with bitcointalk these days. People are obviously just reading the title and responding because I have little to no idea what the op is even asking:

what is actually our mission gathered in this bitcointalk forum, what just looking for money what the fraternity between countries or between cities .. please his explanation Huh

Is he asking what the original purpose of the forum was or why do people come here? And whether people come here just to earn or associate with like-minded individuals who share the same enthusiasm for a new idea/tech? Well, this forum was certainly created for the latter but now it's been taken over by the former all due to bounties and signature campaigns which are big bucks.

Theymos commented on the current state of the forum here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4538227.msg40849533#msg40849533

It's wonderful when someone is able to constructively do something on the forum instead of continuing with whatever they were expected to do under the status quo. Enabling that sort of thing is exactly why Bitcoin and this forum were created. Though bitcointalk.org is not a worldwide welfare organization, and people are not entitled to make money.

Sadly, the forum has actually become some sort of "worldwide welfare organization" and this is literal picture proof of it. The longer we sit back and do nothing the worse it gets. There can be compromise found here however.
