Re: Storing the bitcointalk forum on a decentralized file system
I think I am more interested in have a secured backup of the present forum incase anything happens to the present, than having a decentralized bitcointalk.
There are plenty of archived posts already with waybackmachine, everything is saved by Ninjastic and I am sure that theymos is making regular backups of everything.You can also archive anything you want.
Actually....... Google was very good at the beginning, so the search part they had covered. The point where they are today is based on earning money, and no longer on providing the best possible search results for the user.
Hence they removed ''Don't be evil'' moto 
Some people say that g00gle also removed a bunch of history and they altered facts many times.
To get back on-topic: a fully decentralized forum would also mean a fully decentralized search system. That's great for privacy, nobody else will know what you're looking for.
Maybe, but I think this search would be much slower and not that precise in real life.I can envision a system where 10-minute batches of posts are "mined" in a new PoW chain that stores the forum database. Of course it would have to come with a "premine" of all the old posts. There are certain sections of the forum that I would omit entirely, including (but not limited to):
I don't see any good reason why anyone would do this when there are free alternatives like IPFS.
