I wouldn’t call it boring: You’ve got soap operas (mainly in the reputation section), dramas (scam, banned and merit related threads), comedies (flat earth thread, "I did not plagiarize" threads, etc.), science (bitcoin/altcoin technical boards), kid’s time entertainment programs (social reporting for example), Big Brother (popcorn cat fights all over), etc.

I don't agree with you. I think forum become really calm. You probably didn't saw what was going on in Reputation section few years ago. It was real soap operas and dramas with hundreds of posts daily. And probably half of these threads was about Lauda made by Quickseller and his alts Cheesy

. And majority of reputed forum members was called as alts of Lauda at some point Cheesy

. I'm missing these threads because it was fun to read.
Nowadays in Meta or Reputation we can see pretty much same things each day - banned users for plagiarism, Merit abuse, complaints about unfair Merit system, exposed scam ICO's. Sometimes I'm feeling like in Groundhog Day by visiting these boards.
If we talk about situation in other boards in general, it's probably related to current situation in crypto markets.

There is a decrease in posting activity though, that seems to bring things down a notch recently.

Think this is expected with the recent price hits. Normally, we get the initial throwing the toys out of the pram, and loads of questions, and panic posts. Then that dies down when these users leave, because "Bitcoin is dead", and we are left with those who are truly into Bitcoin, and don't get too reactionary.

It'll likely be a few quiet months, until there's some major event that influences the price again.

Not really, the forum has comparatively become quiet even before the price plummeted, especially in regions like Reputation and Meta, people just have started to disappear, again.

Gosh, I wish I was more active. We need to spice things up a little, bring some interest in people. Even the tinniest of things like having the Reporter Badges finally done, might sparkle something nice. We would like to know what is going on with the new forum as well, but that's too much to ask, for the price of it was like only a few million bucks and the deadline was due years ago.

Market probably dropped the interest of core bitcoin investors, as there little to discuss in the situation except speculations and the occasional FUD.
A more active forum does not automatically relate to a more fun forum though, sometimes the drama in here might be a little too much for my taste.

A decrease in posting activity is actually a positive.

The real enthusiasts will return once the bulk of the new people spam posting icos leave.

Before the next huge uptick for btc I hope we can have some junior discussion boards to contain the next wave.

You don't want lots of posts from lots of new people just pushing their 100 bucks investments in multiple icos hoping for moon shots, you are better off having some good threads where you see a concentration of good posters getting together. It is easier to locate potentially good threads and not have them filled with text spun canned replies when there are not huge waves coming in that are purely financially driven and have no interest in trustless decentralised projects.

I don't see any of the great posters still posting that were here before the end of 2017.

Most real enthusiasts will be here posting regardless of current prices.

Nah, the people posting their scam projects will use the current drop as a advertisement. "Bitcoin is dying invest in X now!". Yeah, I've already seen that. The altcoin section is still going strong, and they are only feeding off this. People will start panicking, and will go into altcoins instead. Several senior members have done this in the past when Bitcoin seemed to be struggling.It was litecoin back then that people flocked too.

Anything can be boring to one person and exciting to the other. You ask for subjective opinion, when one can even find stamp collecting exciting. I say it is not boring, so what? It is only my opinion.

It all depends on what sort of excitements you desire from the forum. The forum borders on legitimate discussions about bitcoins and alternative currencies and everything happening in the cryptocurrency world.

Once in a while there are a couple of posters who make quite hilarious threads. But in a whole discussion is kept relevant or not at all.
Everyone is free to organise a contest or reward program, so you can do so if it's the excitement you desire.

True lol

All boards are interesting, (at least could be), It's just that all boards are filled with senseless threads and replies. Users need to avoid a lot of conversations, and once he gets the good one, he needs to do the same with the majority of replies. And only then can start to read a conversation in peace.
A lot of threads I don't bother to open to read, sometimes seeing the username I also don't bother with. There are a lot more interesting posts to read, it just that the forum is flooded.

I noticed this too, I was wondering if it's down to the fall in the price of the bitcoins or we generally have got a reduction in shitposters and quality posters alike.
More and more users are staying away from the"start new topic button" I think in one way or another it's good for the forum,but I'll love to see more quality topics even If they fill the whole place up..

Meta has been in "grave yard" mode for days now,other than ban appeals/bumped old threads

There are usually two reasons for being bored. One is that you have learned enough, and can't satisfy your curiosity here. The other is that you are not a person who is optimistic about life.
For beginners, here is simply the ocean of crypto knowledge. You can learn different things every day. Why do you feel bored?

The forum has what it needs to. All you got to do is to reach them by making yourself worthy of them. Besides, you can't go to a yoga class expecting to hear rock music and see people moving their butts like crazy. This forum serves what it's intended to, and even more.

Reply with a Yes or a No

I'm saying yes, it needs more images, more awards, more legit activities

Admin is lazy asf Grin

What awards you are looking then? Seems it's not boring because you have busted one Legendary member selling his account isn't it? So why don't you continue doing? It will be fun on your end. You can also look at this thread, Bitcointalk trolls, dysfunction and all out flame wars. Guide to the scandals. Grin

Almost everyone says words like you, forum, boring, saturated, lazy and so on,
Now almost hundreds of accounts are registered on the Bitcointalk forum every day, all can argue, discussion, economics, Bitcoin etc. science, knowledge is very important forum solution.

Why this happens, maybe bitcointalk members mostly make topics or discussions unimportant until other members are boring answering questions that are often asked in forums repeatedly, so they rarely display concepts, ideas that are useful and knowledgeable, this is the reasonthe basic why this forum is boring and disappointing!

If the forum is boring, then the discussion topics aren't one of your interests. In that case, why stick around? I don't frequent makeup forums, because its not my interest. If Bitcoin, Altcoins, or any of the related topics that are often discussed here aren't to your liking, find a forum that caters to your interests.

What images, awards, or "legit activities" were you expecting?

I know forums with better marketplaces than this and they all use cryptos

And that's only the marketplace, which is supposed to be the best section of this website beside few threads in first categories

Among all the cryptocurrency discussion forum bitcointalk still remains the best and the most resource of them all, and the forum can only be boring for you if you are unable to exploit through it. Bitcointalk.org have thousands of topics all you have to do is to fine the one that interest you and join in the discussion.

There are also security problems: Images can be used to execute cookie stuffing and cross-site request forgery attacks; they use a lot of bandwidth; and they prevent bitcointalk.org's HTTPS from appearing totally "kosher" to browsers. These issues could be solved by hosting all images at bitcointalk.org, but this isn't worth the trouble.
