Sounds like a good idea. This forum is moderated of course but a forum where you know the scammers are gonna be weeded out is a powerful idea. I don't know how you'd make sure everyone stayed straight, it might attract people who are patient enough to do some epic scams instead of dumb little ones, but good luck all the same.

You need a forum which can support itself. The account should also be valuable to users. Signature campaign can make the account useful.

I agreed with you that bitcoin needs more exposure and there is nothing bad in having your own forum but overall this forum is not doing bad at all.

Well I think look around what happen to some forums 
Before just making the new forum, you must be sure that there will be more than 100 members from the start

Go for it, the biggest obstacle for you would be getting the people to join and participate, I have seen many people trying to make new 'better?' forums in the past but they all failed because they couldn't attract members.
Bitcointalk has come a long way where it is right now and it's almost the center hub to know anything and everything happening in the Bitcoin world. It's a trusted marketplace too, people come here to trade and they feel safe trading here (thanks to trusted forum escrows) and I think it can be a friendly place if you don't participate in controversies and forum politics. Just be a friendly, responsible member and care for the community you're part of and you'll see it's not bad at all.

I'm not worried about that.
There is nothing wrong with your goal, but I don't think 'friendlier and more professional' forum will be possible to achieve judging by general bitcoin population.

This forum will definitely have my upcoming support for sure...
I think this forum is already very good. We can also do trade in this forum, which gives the value of this forum.

Making an elitist forum will mean alot of moderation and may make the said forum not very active.

Sounds interesting, healthy competition never really hurt anyone. I seem to recall Theymos encouraging others in the past to start a community if they felt someone else could do better. I can't say I've ever been treat unfairly here, but have seen feedback/trust abused to punish other people.

I feel that this forum is already really great. It is definitely friendly but I would definitely say that it is not a professional forum. I think that it is great that you are making a new forum, but how are you going to spread the word about this new forum?
It definitely isn't friendly Go see the archive link I posted in here to another user.

Sounds nice, a new forum, more professional and friendly. But this forum has users. The main problem creating a new forum, is having users that wanted to read and write on your forum, and isn't easy. Professional users like this forum because they make a post here and hundreds or thousand of people can read it.
Don't worry about that. We are going to be able to advertise our forum pretty well. December 06, 2015, 06:46:49 PM

good will,if you will create friendlier and more professional Bitcoin forum,but do you think this forum is not friendly and proffesional?
what kind of forum will created?tell me more specific.
I can't say whether or not I find it user-friendly, because I am not trying to insult the forum. I do feel my proposals were ignored. With that in mind, I feel the need to go ahead and create my own forum. I have the right to freely spread awareness for these Bitcoin growing ideas though. I do apologize in advance if it does seem as if I am belittling this forum. That was not my intention. what kind of forum will created?tell me more specific.

Thanks. I'm not going to make any promises because of my schedule, but we'll see what happens.
Let me tell you already 'what happens' - NOTHING. You wrote to long bullshit post - and that is the end of it. You are all done. 'because of my schedule...' just means you don't have time because you spend all day jerking off on the Internet. So, we are all stuck with this forum. Bummer.
Hmmm. Maybe we do need a friendlier professional forum. Where do these assholes come from?
If you need proof on that, here.

Apparently, people who threaten to kill others are also highly respectable people here.
