Hello, I have spent many hours studying the old threads at your wonderful forum, and I suggest to anyone they do the same. The amount of challenging, high-quality topics combined with no spam or sigs is a refreshing retro experience for me. As we quickly head into 2024, do you think there many real (unpaid) people still posting here at BCT? Have a great day.
I rightly understand your question that it is about to quench your curiosity. However there is a misappropriation of word in your sentence composition, I did not know if it was intentionally or an oversight but I think the former should be the case. You referred to those who do not wear signature as the real posters in the bitcoin talk forum. As Lovesmayfamilis had said, wearing signature doesn't mean someone is less passionate about the forum. It also does not mean that everyone wearing signature will automatically abandon the forum when signature campaign is stopped in the forum.
Even if I become a millionaire, I will still wear signature and get paid here weekly. If I have no need for the money, I can channel it to the charity. I cannot be an exceptional poster here and not wear signature. Signature campaign is like a brand here and it is also part of the forum as among the things that gives the forum vibes. I do respect those not wearing signatures and sincerely wish they can one day just like philipma1957 did.
