Only hypothetically speaking, because that would literally never happen in a million years.

This forum will lose traffic and active users. Look at other forums, is there any other Bitcoin or altcoins forum as popular as Bitcointalk? No, there isn't. Will Bitcoin enthusiasts come to this forum, create threads, make posts and answer questions? Sure, there are people who will do that but in terms of activity, this forum will become very inactive compared to its current state. There is a reason theymos lets signature campaigns on this forum and also there is a reason why Roger Ver wanted signature campaigns on his forum too.
But BestChange was not forced out of the forum, they decided to end their signature campaign for advertising reasons and they still have an ANN thread here. People tend to forget that this kind of thing happens frequently with all sorts of services when they run a signature campaign, whether it is not working out for them or whether it is successful.
Yeah, they were running a signature campaign for 226 weeks, they did the advertising plan perfectly, they increased their brand awareness, and they got all the possible traffic from Bitcointalk during those weeks.
