Spot on bold type black

but I think the worse we can do is fuck with cosmetics. red bold type

I believe these cosmetics are why the signature campaigns work so well.

My intention towards the comment about cosmetics were about updating the look of the forum because it is dating back to 2008, it really looks very outdated as it has remained stuck from 16 years ago while competitors have a modern look and feel.

With the amount of funds accumulated over the years, it will be fairly easy to pay a suitable coder to update the look of the forum while maintaining the signature campaign section. Why it has not been done is a valid question.

That is absolutely right. Not only ban of signature campaigns negatively affect this forum but on the other hand, if signature campaigns lower pay rate as low as 40-50 USD per week, then this forum will experience significant lose of high quality posters and will be left with bunch of spammers.

That is another aspect, if payouts fall to $40-$50 then many members here could conclude the most valuable asset (or appealing factor) of the forum was no longer worth their time therefore in that scenario the impact of migration on this forum would be huge.

I think I agree with you but on the other hand, these cosmetics are why this forum struggles to attract youth. At least theymos has to make this forum responsive, it's not that hard.

If younger members (and potential members) are being attracted to other forums to discuss crypto it is going to empower competitors and that will affect the direction this forum takes in future.

Well YouTube has grabbed a few "influencers" that do an awful lot of videos.

I watch them

some content is good. in a way they compete against me but frankly I am older than the two of them put together and I am not looking to spend time make 1000-2000 videos
