This is true.  It is a real shame that Theymos hates bitcoin 2.0 and purposefully destroyed a great communications channel for this community who just wanted to exchange ideas.  He could have made a subforum for Mastercoin, XCP, NXT and a few others.  But instead he stuffed it into the trash heap that is 'altcoins'.  Alt coins are a complete different thing altogether.  That one single hater intentionally did loads of damage to the ability of others to interact.  Lacking 'critical mass' bitwhizz is right, nobody goes to the other forums.  Instead they lose interest and go visit Satoshi Dice.  Shame. 

It is ironic how core bitcoiners try to discourage new ideas.

We need a new bitcointalk where the admin doesn't have an agenda to push with regard to management of the topics.  Are there any decent alt forums for bitcoin or is this the last and final word?
