Now, to that, add that we've lost valuable members, some of which were intellectually influential, and you have an Internet board filled with mostly crap. What's the problem?
You are right, after the ban of mixer many members have shifted there time and devotion to other forum ALTT so the quality there increased more then it decreased here. I think you are also there? Spending time here and there is not so hard but it affects the quality of the post. Besides this factor, posts on this forum are depend on the nature of the market. If its the trend of ETFs, then you will see relevant discussion. If its war, casinos, SEC, or seizure etc. whatever is being discussed on trending is being discussed here.
So, I won't say the quality has decreased, its just more newbies are coming day by day, some are spamming, and the remaining ones are not so active here with good topics I don't know why? Besides speculation threads, I only find good readable thread on development section of BTC or in local board. BTW what you think, is not being discussed here, or what should be the main goal of posts or what types of posts are not seen anymore here?
