To perfectly comment about this issue, the evil fee paid should be the first line of discussion. I am not sure this forum is not growing bigger, but it is not grow as much as it should, simply because if the evil fee. The stake members that want to open another account knows how to bypass the evil fee, but the new members that just want to register do not know how to bypass the evil fee. Many people do not make use of this forum just because ransom is demanded for to pay evil fee. About this community gorwing, I do it think it has anything to do with forum software.
With all this in mind, do you believe that once the new forum is released, Bitcointalk will increase its userbase?
I do not think so.
Do you think that in 5 or 10 years, the new generations will appreciate the significance of Bitcointalk and be happy to be part of it?
I believe the admin will try their best to keep this forum going. I also noticed that their is increase in the number of people that registered and also that visit this forum during the previous bull run. So, if Bitcoin keeps growing, this forum should also still continue growing.
Or are we a dying breed of forum users taking their last breaths. At the same time, bigger (but not necessarily better) communities are being established elsewhere?
People like to follow recent trends not qualify, they will like to follow sites with shit posts like Trustwallet is a very good wallet because I amhave been using it for a long time and no problem.
I too willine the new forum software, especially if we have apps.
