I have not much of an idea how slack works, their "tour" is not very informative. Puzzles me a bit that a community that is histerical about anonymity moves their discussion about drug prefernces over there. Besides, I dont want to discuss all that stuff, maybe I am to old for that (drug days are a long time ago Grin

), I dont even have a facebook account. It may be great for others, not so much for me, probably.

I read on reddit regularly, but for some reason I just dont like it, though the quality of the discussions is way better over there.

A seperate new forum is not a good idea. Other coins have done this and those forums are looking pretty dead, at least those I am aware of. Dead is even worse than fud.

I would keep this thread going and just live with all the craziness. It is still a decent channel to introduce people to the coin. Most of the time you can just ignore the clowns here. You can still add slack if it is that great.

Reddit does have quite a bit of customization that would make it more useful for new people.

Look at the dogecoin subreddit for example. http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin

You may disagree with their aesthetic, but we could make a lot available in one place. Latest hot topic (blog post link?) at the top. Other useful pins on the right. Tabs for wallet, links to github source, etc. Integrated tip bot! Even just having the moderator list on the sidebar as a quick reference (list of developers) is useful.

As the support for Syscoin grows, and with more PR coming out of the legal proceedings, we need to be able to develop a community. It doesn't need to be as crazy as dogecoin's, but just a way for us to show projects we are working on, new businesses that will leverage syscoin services, etc without it getting buried pages back in a single thread.

Bitcointalk is NOT a place to build a community. If not reddit, somewhere else, but absolutely not here.

My 2c.

Have to agree. BTC talk is being abandoned by few coins like XC and vericoin, so is the rumor. Unless full time moderation, it's kinda pointless. I for one don't like the format of reddit, but it is clearly a better format for user moderation, upvoting and downvoting. To me it seems a little messy, and all over the place, but then again, guess BTC talk can be the same.

I guess not sure if it's time to close BTC talk, but maybe UPDATE only here? Put posts on blog and reddit for important issues and copy over here? IDK, it's hard decision.

But I'll say for sure reddit might be a great place to move over for better moderation by community. Beside, Dogecoin was born on reddit. Clearly it's the better choice.

There are no shortages of trolls on reddit either, likely the trolls here have accounts and burner accounts already on reddit, trolls are an unfortunate byproduct of the web. Keeping the thread here and addition of a subreddit to increase SYS exposure is a much better solution.
