Hello guys Smiley

As you may know or not know or don't care... I wasn't quite active the past year, but I'm coming from time to time to read. There are quite some things happening like the Ratimov drama for example which I found out by chance. I really like to know what's going on here, but I don't have the time to go through 10 topics to find what I want to read.

That's why I was thinking about a thread collecting all the gossip and making it easy to adjust the clock to the current forum situation.
Kind of TL;DR for lazy ppl Smiley

Where shall this thread find its home?



I think Meta is the right place to find all the information you want to get, as long as it happens within the forum. Meta, in my opinion, is more focused on the happenings within and around the forum and will serve as a "gossip" hub for you to catch up on the updates you so desire

Please don't tell me who that member is, or I will always imagine him as a tattooed reproductive male organ.
Life is not easy for bitcointalk campaign managers this days, but I could never imagine something like this happening.

We need a gossip board! Wasn't the requirement for a new board having many existing topics that would fit there? That seems to be the case! Create a new board, and start moving topics (including this one) Cheesy

He sent me some photos.  Roll Eyes

He did???   Flaccid or erect?  I'd imagine it's two different tattoos, and one is more "exciting" than the other?

Um....I'm guessing the service being advertised isn't going to be seen by the target demographic much, but these days you just never know.   Grin
Such advertised services will only be seen by those who have the same Fetish.
There will be a differentiator of tattoos used by members of SR, Hero and Legendary LOL, it will look to have many motifs.😂😂

Man, signature campaigns mean so much to a lot of people.  What you described sounds a bit extreme, though.
Just imagining it seems very extreme, but no matter how much I love the signature project, I will only make t-shirts for my project.

This takes support to a whole new level, it certainly takes a lot of balls to do too.
I chuckled out loud when I read that.  Dude should have had that anatomical area stretched out and had it covered with advertising.  That would be dedication.

No, not off-topic for forum drama.  Either Reputation or Meta, and both of these have already been suggested and I'm pretty sure OP is thinking of one or the other.

Welcome back, TheBeardedBaby!  Compared to years past, there really hasn't been tons of drama or really serious crap go down since you've been gone.  Yeah, the Ratimov thing and Royse777 getting his reputation tarnished practically overnight.  Vod came back twice to stir the pot about OgNasty and forum funds....aside from those things, I'll be damned if I can think of anything that stuck in my Teflon memory bank.  It's been almost too quiet.

Seems like i can just pm you for all the TL;DR drama  Smiley

Thanks guys, I'm thinking to have the thread moderated, then I don't have many options... Still under consideration...

Love you guys Wink

I never thought privates could be used for publicity.

Perhaps he will be so kind as to share them with the public.

Welcome back @ TheBeardedBaby! I love the new avatar.
As other have said, Reputation is the gossip/drama section of the forum. I feel Reputation is the humanity of the forum. Everyone is so serious on the other boards as we should, we try our best to give accurate information to others. The dramas and events in Reputation makes the place lively.

Till now I have not really gotten the reason why Ratimov is now to Symmetrick. When my boss man The Sceptical Chymist changed his name it was made publicly and it took some months but it looks like Ratimov changed his name overnight. And he has not come up to inform us the reason.
No one knows the reason behind his decision. We can only make assumptions from the information we have. It’s not necessary for one to make a thread about a name change especially if that name change was made because of privacy reasons. If he’s trying to cut ties with his former persona, it wouldn’t make sense to create a new thread connecting his new id to the former.

You have summarized everything for him so TheBeardedBaby can start from there to see more from the main drama board which is the Reputation board itself. Though I was not here when the main dramas were displaying in the forum except Royse777 drama that happened and tthat of Poker Player, JollyGood and BitcoinGirl.Club trust abused dramas. Till now I have not really gotten the reason why Ratimov is now to Symmetrick. When my boss man The Sceptical Chymist changed his name it was made publicly and it took some months but it looks like Ratimov changed his name overnight. And he has not come up to inform us the reason. Though changing of name is a personal decision. When Igebotz changed his name, he informed us that themos changed to Igebotz because of his nature of work. These are some of the dramas that have been displayed in the forum which I can also recalled.

Let me assume that I understand you correctly, but do you think anyone would go through all that when the main topic is lurking somewhere? Even at that, I believe the Meta section has what you seek, Except that you would have to do the tonnes yourself manually. Just continue to browse through and you shall get what you need.

By the way, nice meeting you for the first time here, and I love your beards if I must say. Wink

At first, I thought you were talking about crypto gossip, like the kind you'd find on The Sun and the Daily Mirror - well the section for that is called "Press".

But really though, drama is usually over quite stupid things when you think about it, that's why I am not so easy about having the equivalent of a full-page advert showing all the current scandals.

Reputation board has become the new Drama Section in forum, only thing we are missing there is promotion for new movies based on real life events in recent topics created there  Tongue
This is probably the best place if you want to waste time on topics like that, but I would spend time on more productive things instead.

PS
Ratimov is dead.
Long live Symmetrick.

Gossip is part of every community because it help newbies or people that were not part of the forum by  then to know what happened in the past and most times when I visit the reputation board, I spend a lot of time reading about what I have missed in the past when I was not yet a member of this forum. It also help one to remember what happened in the past and what is happening presently that some forum members are not aware of. Reputation board is the right place to get all those gist and maybe Meta board is also where we can see such but it is limited compare to reputation board.

As a user who came later 2023, when everything was very sophisticated and strict [a year with lots of gun explosions] compared to those who came earlier, the Meta board is a discussion board about the Bitcoin forum.
Permission to comment.

It has become my habit when I go online to read one by one the posts about drama discussions that often occur on reputation boards.

Of the long plays to read can be a personal experience, not all of them are bad. There are important points that I can learn from.
Imo, OP's question is good. Where to start?
If there are comments that are beyond my reasoning, I will run away. Smiley

Meta is more focused about the forum itself and i think the real gossip board is the reputation board, there yiu will discover alot of thread there including the old and new on what's happening with some members of the forum, there lies the real gossip and not meta, but i think Meta board should be the next after reputation board, the first three pages on the reputation board alone is good enough for you to hear about the latest.

There just ain't enough demand for something like this compared to the amount of work it will take to start and maintain. People who are on the forum and don't know what's going on in reputation are most likely not interested in that board and the drama that comes with it, those who are not frequenting the forum anymore will definitely not be too interested in the nuances that goes on here.

A recap of what's going on in bitcoin will be something I will love to see and follow, but that's just me.

Maybe it would be a better idea to make a Youtube video about it, with a bearded man explaining what happened, no? Those of us who have been following the issues don't need a summary thread and those who haven't heard about it I think they would be better entertained with a video.

I joined this forum not long ago, and yes, I saw a topic about ratimov or symmetric drama. However, I also don't really understand the overall storyline of the drama, such as many previous incidents and in this thread there is a continuation of the battle from several previous cases.

It's hard to create the summary thread you'd like to see, because there's a lot of gossip on the forum, especially in the meta section and reputation section.

This drama never ends and is constantly renewed. I am sorry that such things happen in our beloved forum, but this is the situation and nothing can be done to stop it.

Also, creating such a thread may turn into another type of drama and gossip that we must work to clean the forum of.

reputation and off topic would be appropriate for such topics. Drama does not happen very often and you can join the forum channel on Discord where forum related events can be discussed more quickly. If the topic is not locked and self-moderated, it will turn into dharma in its entirety.
Why will the discussion be locked? Threads like that are kept opened unless another one to continue discussing it is opened.

Off-topic is not a board for it. Because it is about the members of this forum, it should be on reputation board. There may be some of it that may also be in meta, but if it is about a member on this forum, it should be on reputation.

Please add the reputation board there's more drama and gossip here than meta,

It does not need to be added. The gossip section par excellence is Reputation, which far surpasses the gossip that can be found in Meta.

I really like to know what's going on here, but I don't have the time to go through 10 topics to find what I want to read.

meta is for "discussion about bitcoin forum", so I guess your concern does not belong here, but I'm sure off-topic would be always the right section to accomodate such concerns that aren't belong to popular sections or boards of the forum.

I am not an expert at this kind of stuff, but that would not require someone to update a thread constantly with all the gossip they see around? Like in the same way people update the thread of signature campaigns in the service discussion section of the forum?

I am not sure how interested people are about gossip and drama (I personally prefer to look and not comment at all) but it would take at least a half dozen of people to be willing to get out their way to collect all that information.

Also, perhaps you already saw it, but there seems to be a little bit of drama going on, concerning some red-tag left on the admin profile. You may want to take a look at it...
