Nah, the forum isn't that bad.  What I'm wondering is whose alt you are and why you thought it necessary to make this thread--I seriously doubt you're a newbie if you've figured out how many problems the forum has, even though most of them are glaringly obvious.  

A lot of members are trying their best to bring about some positive changes here, but the forum isn't a democracy.  The admins decide what changes get made, and to what extent they listen to the average member's suggestions is anybody's guess.  

As others have said, if your point is to just say the forum is pathetic and sucks, then nobody is forcing you to be here.  If you have no hope that things are going to get better, maybe it's for the best if you left bitcointalk for the time being.  Check back in a year or so from now to see if any improvements have been made.  Do us all a favor, though, and don't spread pure negativity without any intention of helping things.  Most of the senior members know how bad it is, but it doesn't do any good to just say things suck and leave it at that.

Edit:
K, bye.
