As such, I would repeat my suggestion that the rules be changed to allow for on forum giveaways upon the host paying a fee that is intended to cover the cost of resources expanded by the forum associated with allowing the giveaway.

From what I've seen, funding in general isn't the problem.

My understanding is that users would give away altcoins in a way that each account would receive fractions of a cent worth of the altcoin, but said altcoin would receive basically free advertising/promotion.

Allowing altcoin giveaways would also lead to many more people joining the forum solely for the purpose of claiming these giveaways. We would see more accounts with 5000 posts with no merit, and almost all of their posts would be in the ~~bounty~~ altcoin giveaway sections. The costs associated with these types of threads will quickly add up. With some decent marketing, we could see some giveaway threads with 10, or 100 thousand (or more) posts, and a multiple number of page views. The cost of storing 100k posts, plus 2x+ page views for thousands of threads will quickly add up.
