Does it have posts by Satoshi, Hal, Vitalik & other crypto-luminaries of our time?
No, but it has posts by examplens, tranthidung, dkbit98, hugeblack, bitmover, Stompix, Rikafip, Igebotz and BlackHatCoiner among others. And so far I have counted 4 managers of signatures campaigns of this forum also there.
Does it have 12 years worth of content & backlinks? No.
Here's a quick comparison of the site's traffic metrics according to Similarweb:

You look at the still photo, and I'm talking about the possible evolution.
I assume the campaigns there are paying peanuts compared to here.
At $40 to $45 a week when campaigns here pay between $70 and $100 for Legendary doesn't sound like peanuts to me.
Also, its got to be a complete spamfest,
A complete spamfest by examplens, tranthidung, dkbit98, hugeblack, bitmover, Stompix, Rikafip, Igebotz and BlackHatCoiner? Yeah sure. And every day new users are teleported.
We shouldn't blame the admin for removing Mixers he just wants to make the forum clean and safe.
I don't know why you're responding if you don't understand what I'm saying, and the other one talking about spamfest. I quote it to you to see if it is clear to you:
As I just said in another thread, I think this topic deserved its own thread.
The main effect that the ban has had is that the mixers have gone to advertise in another forum (shitcoinstalks.com), and with it the campaign managers here as well as a lot of forumers that have been "teleported", being currently active in both forums. I put here the quote of mine from the other thread that I think sums it up well:
