I use the term donated loosely, be it time or money, people came here for Bitcoins.
They come for the idea and not exactly for the software.
The Alt Coin section was added later with the invention of the early Alt Coins, just as a place to move threads from Bitcoin mining discussion to their own section.
The point is, the people that actually come here for Bitcoin info, or to discuss Bitcoin are being negatively effected by the Alt Coin section.
Please, show some examples of "negatively effected" forum users.
Obviously, we don't want to remove the Alt Coin section as a whole, because then we will have the problem of people posting Alt Coin stuff back in with Bitcoin discussion. However the issue as of late is how Giveaway threads have far outspammed anything else, and leak out to the rest of the forum in a variety of ways. Although I'm not entirely sure if this thread is about that or not.
I am still want to know who are this donators and VIP forum participants which have been "negatively effected" by a mere section of the forum...
