But the most valuable participants left because of the spam, and lack of individuals who understand bitcoin but all they found was individuals who thought bitcoin was brought up by illuminati, and that satoshi lives in a hut located in Bermuda Triangle.
This is a stance I strongly disagree with. I dont think anybody running Bitcoin projects left because sections of the forum were being spammed. They would have likely just been concerned with their own threads and their own users. Its when disrespectful forum members make it appear that their work isnt valued that they target their effort elsewhere.
