Thanks for stepping in and sharing your perspective with me (and others).

Again, maybe those who left are the real troublemakers 🤔
You're welcome

However, I want to emphasize that this is just seeing the forum from my perspective, because in the beginning I spent most of my time in Micro Earnings and some other boards, a little outside the important things that were happening on the forum. Maybe you would be surprised if you looked at the post history of some of today's famous members, because most of us started very modestly, as befits true beginners.
I don't want to say that those who left were the ones who caused problems, but that they were just personalities who were different from the majority, and that their leaving the forum might have been a good thing for some, but I think we lost members who were also very important for this forum.

I have a wandering thoughts though. Were altcoins really like "worthy" in those years or were they just mostly shitcoins that we get these days? I am totally curious.
From the perspective of that time and my own, they seemed to have some value, but for an inexperienced beginner, everything looks promising. The first coins that I somehow earned were actually altcoins, so I was even involved in a project whose owner was one of the more famous members of the forum, but that project, like many others, failed.
Over time, I realized that only Bitcoin has a constant, and that everything else is just an illusion sold by fog sellers, as is the case even today. I can't say that everything from that period was wasted time, because 1000 Dogecoins were worth only about $0.14 then, and you could earn them very easily on faucets - for those who saved them, they could make a very significant profit.
