Mixer ban indeed affected the post count in the forum. It is foolish to think otherwise. We can discuss mixers but we can’t promote them which is how people can make money. No money = no incentive to post

It looks like the forum is on a constant decline. If more people lose interest in the forum, In a few years we might end up losing sig camps completely.

Has BitcoinTalk given any hints about allowing mixers again, not just mixer signature campaigns? What were the main reasons they restricted mixers in the first place? If mixers are reintroduced, how might it change the community view here on bitcointalk stance on privacy and security? What rules or measures could be put in place to ensure mixers are used responsibly and legally?

No. There are no hints. It looks like a permanent ban so far.

Theymos banned mixer ads/sigs because mixers usually are in bed with evil people who do shit like money laundering which is a federal crime in the US.

The admin don't wanna end up in jail. Life still can be good without mixers. Sometimes it is smart to avoid taking more risks. The risk/reward ratio of shilling mixers isn't worth it.
