I crave for a forum I will look back at in 5yrs time and see positive differences.
If what you wrote is truly the dream you have for the forum then it means you haven't learnt anything from you stay on the forum. So you want the forum to host AMA and give this worthless projects the spots light. Do you know how many people will blinding just go invest in such project just because bitcointallk is giving them a platform (like endorsing them as that's what must noobs will think).
This is a Forum for education, for the fact a board for projects to announce themselves is already available, that's enough. We don't need the forum turning into some business center for hyping project that were just created for the purpose of stealing your Bitcoin meanwhile the forum was created to hangout and discuss issues surrounding Bitcoin which should involves it's safe keep.
Speaking on evil fee, so basically what you're seeing the forum as is a place to join campaign, Bounty or start a business? I'm basing my judgement on your statement;
maybe before the user joins a signature campaign, bounty campaign or do business, he would have to pay the evil fee.
that's a wrong misconception of what the forum is. Education is been paid for so if your purpose of joining the forum is to learn, some little fees for that is no biggie.
