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?
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?
Case Basis:
Case 1:
If a New Forum Software has been deployed would it really be practical to link important stuff such as
Satoshi's First Announcement which reside to the
old forum? Would it not be seen as a "it's a new thing, not legit", "FUD by creating new forum", and others. Then, what about the accounts that are relevant to the creation of Merits and sMerits which ultimately improved the quality of posting and regulate the signature campaign standards.
Case 2:
If we continue to use this forum the 12 year long legacy of Bitcointalk being one of the disruptive and controversial mode of payment which is a threat to bank will live on. Along with its rich history that includes,
Satoshi's First Announcement ", "
HODL", "
Lauda's Termination ", and all the other drama's that makes Bitcointalk what it is today.
Is it really okay to leave this Forum and be rebranded or do we continue and press on? I'd prefer the latter.
