I do not think they have active members because mixers are banned here. The other forum has been around for years and many people did use it before the mixer ban. Most probably the numbers registering as new members and the traffic flow must have taken a turn when theymos banned mixers.
That site wouldn't have any active users if not for allowing them to advertise mixers after Bitcointalk banned them.
To what point, bro?
I don't expect anyone to see this differently from LoyceV, it's a well-known fact. I knew Altcointalks even before I joined Bitcointalk, but it's like almost an almost dead forum, that's the truth. Not that there aren't some activities, but can you compare, for instance, the social media handle with active followers of 12k with the one with 40 million active followers? The mixers ban here was a blessing to the forum.
I would not be surprised if Altcoinstalks owners/operators take a similar decision to theymos with regards to banning mixer but it seems highly unlikely now for two reasons. First is because the so-called crypto friendly US administration are making decisions. Second is because if they wanted to ban mixers they probably would have done it around the same time but they did not. As a precaution, the owners/operators might consider a ban on mixers or at least keep their options open.
You are right! As to why they may not ban mixers, Bitcointalk wasn't created for the enrichment of the management, but with what Altcoinstalks does, it shows that it's practically created to make money by the creator. So they are willing and desperate to take more risks on mixers than Bitcointalk would take.
