I will choose the BCN because the community is very large and it is not owned by any company. The value of bcn is increasing day by day. Look forward to a bright future with bcn with cryptonote technology!

Bytecoin = shitty secret launch on deep web, lucky to implement cryptonote before anyone else, horrible optimization of the software (I was not able to use the software or mine until MRO team optimized it).
QCN = direct clone of the MRO code, im not sure if the devs can come up with decent stuff or they will keep forking MRO
FCN = seems like another fork but at least they are contributing with novelty stuff like merge mining, so if QCN went up FCN will go up for sure. It's on my radar.
Also, notice how people that want to do a cryptonote coin, will be forking MRO and not BCN.

Yea but people seem to forget. 3 years later and the true crypto-currency Monero still isn't rising above all the others. It all started with the idea of creating an internet currency that is anonymous, now we have everything from company shares to assets, commodity-based coins, smart contracts, etc. All of that seems fine but the original purpose is clearly achieved by Monero and also by ZEC, ZCL, ZEN as well.
Trusted setup (like the 'Z-coins' need) is in total contradiction to the original idea, an abomination...
And bytecoin is a well proven scam... FFS, doesn't anybody do the smallest research anymore: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/blowing-the-lid-off-the-cryptonotebytecoin-scam-with-the-exception-of-monero-740112

Ignore them. They are kinda blind. They learned couple of sentences and that's it. Don't waste your time - spend it with your family and friend. And keep being a BCN user. Because it's absolutely profitable
No, nobody is blind here... What you see is pure marketing in action. Hope nobody gets it too seriously.
I did too! Twice!
I also have a question: If one does not like Bytecoinso much , why won't he stop spending time on Bytecoin forums?

One checks most threads in order to decide what is good or bad. Then he makes his choices. He doesnt rely on only 1 thread you see.
Oh and personally i havent posted in bytecoins thread for more than a month now since its not relevant any more...

well, they wanna know how №1 altcoin is doing. I checked monero thread couple times - saw nothing worth my attention.
when the community does support the fork, that is a stronger vote of "no confidence" in the original developer.
According to your words, Bytecoin is one of powerfull fork here, on the altcoin subforum.In case you havent notice Bytecoin has almost 0 community. Half of the posters about bytecoin are paid accounts. And most comments on bytecoin thread are from people that support Monero including me. Volume is close to 0. Hell even duckcoin has bigger volume...
I thought that this is the best proof of our community. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bcn-bytecoin-media-fund-call-to-arms-667954
Even I have sended a contribution.

Bytecoin has a 82% premine by a couple individuals.
Even a poll-parrot spits a way more different phrases than you.But thats exactly the reason why unfortunately Bytecoin fails. Nothing more. Maybe the lack of communication from devs too. But thats all someone needs to know in order not to invest in Bytecoin...

Is your post even serious? 15m Bytecoins is like nothing compared with 150b coins mined with 0 effort. Devs hold many many billions. And thats like 9 bitcoins if it doesnt lower the price with such small volume.

Nuff said, hell even Dogecoin, is better than Bytecoin by far.

According to your words, Bytecoin is one of powerfull fork here, on the altcoin subforum. Bytecoin could have capitalized on its position as the first cryptonote coin and maintained a leadership position, but they blew it. They have no one to blame but themselves.
If they did, so why they are still alive? Why people still use the Bytecoin? Why people trust BCN devs? I'm pretty sure that you have no answer for this question. 
The difference between most open source software and altcoins is that when open source software is forked, the fork retains everything that the original had. Take OpenOffice and LibreOffice for example. An OpenOffice user had nothing to lose by switching to LibreOffice. Therefore the community benefits and everyone wins. When a coin is forked, everything is retained EXCEPT the original blockchain. When this blockchain dies, so do the investments of an entire community who believed in the old coin's success. If I were a Bytecoin investor, it would be in my best interests to see Monero die. If I were a Monero investor, the opposite would be true. If either coin becomes dominant over the other, the community wouldn't win. Rather, one community would win at the expense of the other.
This only means that the barrier to getting community support for a fork is higher, and when the community does support the fork, that is a stronger vote of "no confidence" in the original developer.
Anyone can fork anything, but no one can force the community to support the fork. That is up to the community.
Monero and Fantomcoin, the rest of cryptonote coins are legit jokes.
Oh, you gotta be joking then.
Thats an interesting logic there. We all know that Fantomcoin and Monero are Bytecoin's forks. So if we call Bytecoin a joke, Monero and Fantomcoin become forks of a joke which sounds absolutely unpresentable.
There is this popular myth in the altcoin space that "forks" are inherently bad, which follows from the (correct) observation that most if not all bitcoin "forks" have been done as pump-and-dump scams.
But the underlying premise is false. If you understand the history of open source software, forks are both intended and desirable, and even necessary to maintain a balance of power between developers and the wider community. Specifically when the original developer goes in a direction the wider community does not support, then other developers are able to fork, and the community is able to move its support from the original to the fork.
This is exactly what happened with Bytecoin and the premine/ninjamine/whatever, trolling, sock puppet accounts, non-transparent history and developers, etc.
This kind of shady behavior was not supported or accepted by the community which is why nearly all support (as measured by hash rate, trading volume, thread views, or any other sensible metric) has shifted to Monero.
