Is the forum decentralized? No, it is not! Is Bitcoin truly decentralized? Do define democracy by the way as this forum is not.
Where is the technology to do that (decentralized forum)?
Will you make a blockchain forum? Would you pay a transaction fee to post?
Would you run a node for free?
Who is going to create a fucking front end with capable SEO to compete with bitcointalk, for free?
We have hundreds, thousands of forums in the internet. This is among the best of them. I don't think there is much to change here.
Pay to post!?!?! LoL
Could you imagine the dropoff in traffic if people weren’t paid to post here? Even as it is, most people who created things here left as a result of poor management and that’s when it’s free and advertisers are lining up to pay you to participate here. Not to mention Bitcoin couldn’t facilitate a pay to post operation anyway in its current state.
