We're dealing with uninteresting topics. The "hottest" topic of discussion in the last months is Ordinals, followed by ETFs, and then an endless list of speculation-related threads, which were always a "thing" in the past, but gosh, that just seems like our sole concern nowadays.
It seems that most of the topics from the technical side have already been discussed enough times, someone could think that everything has already been said.
Exactly. Satoshi made bitcoin to be simple. That's where most of the communities civil frustration with each other comes into play. Everything that has been said has been said.
Also, having a website in 2024 in full white is bad for first impressions. It his people in the eye like a flashbang if they see bitcointalk.org for the first time in a dark room or at night. Yeah there is a dark mode, but the forum should have moved to a default dark mode a long time ago in my honest opinion. Literally every time I show someone this website and it's dark their eyes wince. Mabey its a problem with my screen brightness LOL, but I digress!
We need to literally think of every option to onboard as many people as we can to this forum. The time to talk about that is now, when all hope seems lost that the forum looks like it's hitting a wall in terms of activity.
Let veteran users press a button to make it light for them. I personally like it white.
