the old thread should be reopened
Losing the old thread is one of the reason of BC downtrend.
You've got to be kidding? Read through the last 10 pages of that thread and tell me how on earth that could help BlackCoin in any way at all. Innovation, community, projects, marketing and a lot more important factors drives a coins success than the number of pages on that coins thread. Also keep in mind, the Bitcointalk boards average online users is around 350, this is a tiny drop in the bucket of the global crypto currency user base at large.
