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?
This is a problem, but obviously we cannot solve this problem because it is a problem presented by nature. People must come and go.
Satoshi isn't here anymore;
Lazlo the pizza guy is no more here;
The I AM HODLING guy is no longer here;
And many more. Yet, the forum is still active.
When I was a newbie, I was looking upto people like;
Welsh;
LoyceV;
DdMrDdMr;

DANNYHAMILTON;

And others about the bitcoin technicals. Some are no longer active. Today BlackHatCoiner is a big name that newbies will look up to. People come and go, although the quality might decline but there must surely be one person(s) filling the gap. Few months ago, you nearly left, but surprisingly you made a u-turn, so we can be confident that some guys that left might come back. Let's see if the bull run can do this for us.
