I don't understand why people still do this white-on-black thing. It hurts the eyes and it looks retarded, like "look at how edgy we are. It's black because we're underground, knowwhatimean?"

It's fine for graphics and other stuff that you're not looking at for very long. At least it's not lime green on black. I know a place with that cutesy retro style sheet and boy is that rough on the eyes.

Are there other skins available for your forum? I found it really, really hard to read for more than a few minutes with that style sheet.

For sake of argument, let's say you wanted to start an eBay account for the first time to sell your wares. But before you did, you do a little research on the internet and somehow one of the first sites you find and read is the main forum dedicated to everything eBay. Depending of what mindset you're in, your discovery may determine if opening up an eBay store is now viable.

It's a fair point, but bitcoin isn't at the point where it qualifies as a 'brand' yet. Right now we're just a protocol and a (granted a very large and diverse) group of hobbyists. If silkroad is the seedy underbelly of crypto currency, bitcointalk is the open forum where you get a good cross-section of bitcoin users - that leaves a gap to be filled by the professional side of things.

Recently I've been thinking about starting some sort of global bitcoin business directory, probably with a periodic fee to be listed on it... it would need to be the public face of bitcoin - and have conduct policies for the listed companies. Possibly also collecting correct owner/business information as part of the verification process. Not really an authority but a central listing service so bitcoin users could find businesses offering the good and services they wanted to purchase. Whatever this site turns out to be... could very well be the 'brand' we need and also the forward face of bitcoin business.

A forum with free speech is very valuable to Bitcoin. Free speech allows people to determine the truth through discussion without moderator interference. If you prefer to not use a free-speech forum, you can go elsewhere.

I'm not too concerned about what potential Bitcoin users think.

what country besides the underworld of satin would accept bitcoin?

Maybe the seven hellish layers of wool would also be willing to accept Bitcoin.

Theymos I saw what you did there. Very funny lol

Bitcointalk is a fan site, nothing more, nothing less. It's in no way official and if "legitimate" businesses think that being associated with Bitcointalk damages their credibility then they'll stop coming here and someone will set up a more "professional" Bitcoin forum which enforces different standards.

There's no reason whatsoever why Bitcointalk should not exist. There's every reason why a different forum with a different purpose should be established by those who want to "professionalise" Bitcoin, though.

If bitcointalk did not exist we surely would have invented it.

In one name or facade I believe a site such as this would have come into existence and the fact that it doesn't show only a 'public relations face' for a select group but supports and targets the average user points toward what people want from the Bitcoin movement.
