personally the problem is very simple btc can not be used for small payments .
so does the forum finally allow some alts to pay.
since it already does . i am sure theymos takes alts for forum payments so mods need to adjust and adapt
ie allow ltc .
edit:
I cant find the post that says forum takes alt coins so if it was removed
and forum does not take any coin I stand corrected
Just cause the forum accepts altcoins for services (AFAIK it's only GRIN for Copper Membership; not aware of any other case where altcoins are accepted by the forum) doesn't mean altcoin giveaways are allowed. That's not how forum policy works. You could try to make that argument to theymos but we, as mods, can't just go up and say "well if you accept altcoins, everyone should be able to incentivize posting for altcoins".
