It would be really sad thing. In all these years spent on this forum, Bitcointalk become important part of my life.
Same like others, I would get lot of free time. In first weeks I probably wouldn't even know what to do with all time that I got . I definitely wouldn't move to alternative forums like Cryptotalk. Forum.bitcoin.com and others. I also wouldn't move to other platforms like Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and others because it's not an alternative to forum. I don't know, maybe I would try to find new hobby or just would start watching some tv series, because now I don't have time for it.
If one day government will shutdown Bitcointalk, I'msure that Bitcointalk core would start alternative forum. But if it would be started from scratch, probably I will not be so addicted to that forum as now.
LOL, that's good one . Ver and his forum is also waiting for visitors .
