I just read the post by the admin stating that mixers will be banned on the forum from January 1. Considering that mixers and casinos seem to be the biggest advertisers here, I foresee a drop in revenue for the forum. The way I see it, it implies that the government is still in charge of the direction Bitcoin moves. If they cannot control Bitcoin, they can move against the appurtenances of the cryptocurrency: mixers, exchanges, who knows... even this forum, etc. With the popularity of the USD dwindling, who knows what else could happen to Bitcoin, the challenger? What do you think?
Signature campaign opportunities might be reduced because of the ban on mixers but the forum will not be boring because the forum was not designed for just mixer discussions. Before now we had just a few mixer campaigns and the forum was still educational and active. When one door closes, another one will open. Nobody ever expected that Mixers would one day compete with casinos in this forum. The Bitcoin industry is multidimensional, I won't be surprised by an increase in campaigns that advertise other services such as exchanges, Bitcoin custody services, etc. Maybe we might see campaigns promoting, BlackRock, Invesco, and ARK Investments, who knows? 
. OP, you have been rarely active on the forum; how then can you tell how bored or active the forum has been in your absence?
Some members of this forum consistently read information from this platform but rarely make comments. Posting on the forum is a valid means of determining an active member but it shouldn't be a standard because there are exceptions. OP might be in the category of people who follow the activities on the forum but don't make comments regularly. These are my personal views anyway.
