Of course not, my guesstimate is that in case of signature campain (and bounty campaign) ban. bitcointalk traffic would go down at least 90%, maybe even more. Everyone is aware of that (forum staff included), therefore I don't think that there is a real possibility of that happening.


Given their stance on bitcoin and freedom of speech in general, imho it would be even worse (e.g, people from Russia have to use VPN in order to access bitcointalk as its banned there) if site was histed in BRICS countries.
