Yes,we need sub forum for free bitcoins, all services like faucets, paid to click, games for free bitcoins should be in sub forum called ''free bitcoins''

My opinion.

This idea makes the most sense to me, then it wouldn't just be a board for Faucets alone.

While we're looking at new subforums, domain subforum under auctions please? 6 on front page, 57 on first 5 pages.

I also agree with this, the Auction section is insanely cluttered with people selling their domains (me included).

So IMO the deeper you can bury them the better (I no longer bother replying to the posts for help with dust and I think even DannyHamilton is losing patience with that as the same question appears at least once per week).

These sorts of things really do not help to promote Bitcoin in any positive way at all.

You guys care too much about faucets but when it comes to ponzis and other similar scams you made an entire sub section just for it, i will never understand it.

I doubt any even slightly advanced bitcoin user or a man who can simply use the basic of mathematics care about faucets. For most people faucets are just cancer on par with ponzi schemes. Therefore I would like to ban any faucet related topics from Beginners and Help section and move every faucets related topic to their own subforum.

I agree that faucet need their own subforum, but I don't agree about faucet didn't give any useful information about bitcoin. Undecided

I knew how bitcoin works because faucet, so I can play with it at first. Then when I really understand about bitcoin, I joined the real world of bitcoin.

I totally agree that faucets are not a "service" and the whole service announcements board is messy due to all the faucet threads. I run one faucet and this idea gets my vote, move them into a separate sub-board in the announcements section.

I do disagree with the faucet knocking though, a bit elitist me thinks. Its been years since i hashed out massive power bills with my gpu mining racks......I dont bother with it anymore, but i dont blame faucet users these days as it takes much less effort to lick a faucet than build a set up that is actually profitable. Faucets serve a great purpose in the bitcoin community. They are a great starting point for those newbs that wish to kickoff their btc interest. (i dont know about peeps complaining about "dust" though) Faucets support a whole internet advertising realm based on btc, why knock this? We need to get bitcoin out there, as a legitimate currency tool, everywhere we can. I wish there was more advertising companies paying in btc. I could say more but its getting off topic, but calling faucets useless is just plain wrong.

If I can say my personal opinion, for me it isn't necessary a new dirum section only for the faucets site ( really not necessary) but the final choice is by theymos.

Please discuss ponzis vs faucets in another thread.

This thread is to ask for a new 'faucet' board in service announcements.

well, ponzis might make people use a freak load of money.
faucets made a lot of people waste their time while they can do other good things. faucets isn't worth a single thought, they just uses a lot of spaces.

Oh so you saying that ponzies are worth it? Ponzies are scam, faucets are giving you free money and ponzies are just stealing your money, i dont know how anyone would think ponzies are better than faucets.

yes, they are worth the attention. because they are dangerous.
and like I said, faucets are a waste of time. they give you less than a dollar for spending your entire day solving captchas.

I seriously dont understand your logic, ponzies are worth the attention? What? Faucets give you free money, they are for new people that start using bitcoins and want some free tosee how things are going, ponzies are a scam they are illegal, yes illegal you can report ponzi models to the authorities actually so i dont see how ponzies are better than faucets or why they have their own sub forum. Its like the sub forum to post your scam.

that's the whole point of making a new sub board for them. because they are mostly (if not all) scams, and the mods will never delete possible scams.

and I'm not going to repeat this again. faucets is a waste of time, reasons above. that's logical enough to me.

How many of them are there? First page, and first 5 pages would be a pretty good indicator.

Page 1: 21 faucet threads out of 40 threads.

Pages 1 through to 5 have 61 faucet announcement (or discussion) threads out of a possible 200 threads.

While we're looking at new subforums, domain subforum under auctions please? 6 on front page, 57 on first 5 pages.

+1 on this. It has been asked many times to have special subforums for domains, no one has any real interest in most of the domains listed of sale here and they only clutter up the auctions and digital goods sections.

Not sure why you quoted me in regards to the "you guys" statement as I am not a staff member nor have any influence over anything about how this forum is run (if I did I'd have got ad-sigs banned for a start).

That is a lot, probably is needed.

Faucets is an awful specific thing to make an entire board for. Can't really think of similar annoying services that would fit under similar criteria though.

It's pretty specific, yes, but there are so many.
