BCT is accurate IMO, though I'm using BTT most of the time when referring to this site, but when BitTorrent got created and popular, it got me confused.
LOL, maybe we should call it BCT, all the coins have ticker, we should also have that one for our forum.
Topic: [POLL] BTT - BCT - BTCT? (Read 901 times)
Agreed.
Typing the forum name of forum as bitcointalk.org forum, rather than any acronym or simply bitcointalk forum.
Because who knows in the future, crypto world might have bitcointalk.com, bitcointalk.ca, and some others similar sites.
To sum up, the best option (in my opinion) to write or call the forum is:
Bitcointalk.org forum.

I've mostly used BCT, though (while some may dislike it) I do think BTT rolls off the tongue pretty well (as well as being more distinct, at least when comparing it to the Bitcoin ticker symbol (BTC)). IMO BTCT is a bit too long of an acronym - once I've typed out more than 3 letters, I might as well type out the forum name in full.
Some opinions.From what I've seen, "BTT" is only used by clueless bounty spammers. Real users refer to the site as BCT or just Bitcointalk if you're not too lazy to type 
Honestly, I have read some bounty topic, that mentioned about BTT, or even in telegram or Discord channels.
At that time, around more than one year ago, I did not know what it means, honestly.
As @LoyceV pointed out, it tend to be used as BTT by lazy scammers, who even don't care which kind of forum they join to spread their scam projects out.
One more thing, when abbreviation BCT use, we should use it as BCT forum to avoid misunderstanding with any kind of tokens, altcoins launched later. Real crypto enthusiasts will easily known what BCT forum means.

It should be the best if we mention the forum as bitcointalk, the original, full name of it.
If someone are lazy to type down its full name, and if I have to make a vote, I will choose:
Bitcointalk forum, abbreviated as BCT forum.
I would prefer to spend a second to add the word 'forum' at the end.
In the future, there will be something, digital assets, or sites, or stocks, etc. that have its abbreviation, ticker as BCT, BCTT, BTT, so adding the word 'forum' at the end, after the abbreviation always make sense.
In short, I voted for:
BitCoinTalk forum ~ BCT forum.
We need the word 'forum' behind because for people who see or hear about the forum the first time, they don't know that bitcointalk.org is a forum. So, without the word 'forum', they might guess that it is a site, a marketplace, or something different than a forum.If someone are lazy to type down its full name, and if I have to make a vote, I will choose:

I prefer BCT though BTT is still good but BTCT could be hardly connect to bitcointalk. Why I prefer to use the BCT?, because it is all about a forum with discussions of different coin. So it will be clearly represented by BCT and this is why I am in favor of it. People around the world knows how to called btt forum or bct forum.
However, the polling place was closed and I could not have voted yet.
The vote you prefer is the one who wins the POLL. Anyways, maybe you weren't reading with the reason why BTCT is my preferred but it's okay. You could just read it. Thanks for your opinion though, you were a little too late. However, the polling place was closed and I could not have voted yet.

Thank you for the poll crwth, but I'll continue to use BTCT when referring to this forum. 
I do love to use BTCT too, nothing has changed even after the results. Ha!

After ten days of polling, the highest voting is BCT. With 21 votes. Coming in second BTCT with 18 Votes.
I think we have a winner here. There would still be no solid understanding, in general, what abbreviation we should use, but it's nice that some people shared their opinions towards it.
Congrats to those who voted BCT!

But whenever I talk/discuss to someone who is a member here on any messaging platform, I mostly use forum no any abbreviation used. Then use bitcointalk if I write/talk to someone who's not a member here but knows crypto since using BTT, BCT will trigger them to think as its a kind of token or altcoin.
Well, at least there's an understanding towards knowing the forum part towards other members and possible future members lol. It does sound like a coin or something, and maybe in the future, even BTCT would be created as @r1s2g3 said. But as you know, BTCT is the free one. That's why I went for it also and makes sense.Any kind of abbreviation, BCT, BTT, BTCT is confusing one.
That's why I think there should be like an official term. That's the purpose of standards, knowing in every location or board you are, there's an understood meaning towards BTT/BCT/BTCT/BTF, nevertheless, at least you gave your opinion. 
BTT mostly found in shitty campaigns. They tend to use that strange, incorrect term due to their laziness.
Any kind of abbreviation, BCT, BTT, BTCT is confusing one.
I've been seeing the BTT term for the forum's abbreviation when I started here and I used that too.
I support the way you used it, with forum word, and without abbreviation.Any kind of abbreviation, BCT, BTT, BTCT is confusing one.

Though I'm much prefer using BCT even though I used BTT before. But much preferably if theymos will give his opinions for this--if and only if this is necessary.

I think it's a great point that you have, but in my opinion, if you are just going to type BCT Forum, it's convenient also to put "this forum" instead of "BCT Forum." That's if you want to use BCT Forum as a word, but using 3 - 4 letters are more comfortable in my opinion and having a standard in the whole forum is just ideal.
I don't think that we have to or should use any of them, BCT, BTT, BTCT, or BCT forum if we have been in the forum, mention about the forum.The abbreviation, if used, only should be used when we are somewhere outside the forum, but want to mention about the bitcointalk forum.
There's no limit to what this "standard" of abbreviation could be used, in this forum or outside as long as there is an agreedvalue on it.

Okay! I will add that to the votings, maybe it will make people aware what the other opinions are.
Thanks for adding it on the poll, I am glad that you take as an option. If we can see more opinions right here especially the Legendaries, Staffs, Moderators and the Admin that will be nice to know what they really think it will be abbreviated.

It's Bitcoin (BTC) + Talk (T) so BTCT is the only one that makes sense to me.
That's what I use..
To be honest I often type btctalk.org when talking about this place but I’m weird
Note that weird, I've also said a few times btctalk or btalk, but not doing the extra of adding .org, that's a bit too much.
Any 3 letters abbreviation will (if is not already) be taken by some shitcoin sooner or later. Some have even started using 4 letters as probably there is as much competition as in domain names.
I like it when it called as Bitcoin Forum as what we see above on our dashboard. If there is an option of "Bitcoin" + "Forum" = BTCF I will really prefer that one.
I will halt my vote for now and wait for more options base on members request, count mine too.

Using the whole name is better like Bitcointalk and it gives more respect to he forum than using only acronyms. This forum is very help to us bitcoin lovers but when it comes to acronyms or abbreviation it is better to use BTCT BTCTalk (BitcoinTalk) where in we can easily know when we hear or see BTCT.
That’s why there is need for standardization, knowing that there is an understood value throughout the forum whether it’s the highest voted one or not, using any of the shortcuts wouldn’t damage the respect we have towards the forum, it just makes it easier to type and more efficient.
