Topic: Things to know about Bitcointalk forum. (Read 95 times)

I don't want to be a partypooper, but this looks like nothing more than a merit fishing thread to me, as almost everything (if not all) is already covered in the pinned threads, which are more visible anyway.

I appreciate your efforts in composing this thread but,
You’ve got to look at it this way, as a discussion platform before anything else. Note that the forum features everything there is in its board although it’s chiefly about the things you have in quote,

It accommodates almost all you can talk about. That’s why we’ve got even the off-topic board for your jokes and just whatever that would entice you.

Take here for a leaning field and you would benefit a lot from its original content and unfiltered contents and contributions in active themes of discussions.

For me, I should say it's not even necessary to create this thread, just like you said people can explore if they want.

Most users already know all the information presented by @OP and there are no new thing I find.

It's like teaching grown ass adults how to walk using our feet, how to drink water from sink, how to eat using spoon etc.

Ideally you have made some good points regarded that it calls on newbies concerns to understand the basic facts and sections of this bitcointalk platform.
in addition based on the thread tittle, some good facts beginners need to know about this Bitcointalk forum is that here is an institution of learning about Bitcoin on every aspects of its resources and utilizations.

Periodically too... It is a mechanized internet platform where you finds solutions surrounded basic tons of society activities and economy factors.

And to be cautious, this is not an entertaining social media platform where comes a place making funds and spreading false news.

While Bitcointalk is a fantastic resource, it's important to be mindful of your security. Scams and phishing attempts are common here on online forum, so be cautious of any links or offers that seem too good to be true. Always use strong passwords and consider enabling two-factor authentication for added protection.

The forum's merit system rewards users for positive contributions, such as creating helpful posts and receiving upvotes from others.

Bitcointalk is an excellent platform to stay informed about the latest news and developments in the crypto world. With a wide range of boards and threads, you can find discussions on everything from Bitcoin and Ethereum to altcoins, blockchain technology, and regulations.

Suggestions - you should also add the Marketplace board. I'd like to think it is also one of the most important boards on the forum. So many transactions go on their and some folks join the forum mainly because of it as they have some business to market and have also done business with other users. I'd like to also think that it is one of the largest online market places in all the internet forums that exists (I don't have a source. You can check the data and let me know if I am wrong.)

OP, what happened to the people who came to the forum after March 2023? Is your calendar broken?

Thank you all for your correction and ideas, I have implemented them.

Need a source, forum stats center.

It's not correct. There are two admins: theymos and Cyrus and there are dozens of moderators, patrollers who do their management in the forum. Management is a broad term so you can not limit it to only theymos.

Thank you for the info SuperBitMan, it will be especially useful for newbies but also not so newbies, because many people here still don't know that this forum was created by Satoshi him(or her?)self.

Apart from the suggestions above, I would add that this forum is a bit newer than the date you mentioned because if I'm not wrong they migrated it to this new platform. Also the number of members, because I'm sure that more recent data must be available somewhere.

And it could be also useful m to add links to different local boards after the paragraph about them, so the newbies who read about it can go directly there with just one click (I noticed that many newbies find it hard to find these boards, even when they are at the home page ).

A small edit that you need to do here is that the forum is not a cryptocurrency forum. It is a dedicated Bitcoin forum where altcoins can be discussed which will be the right answer. I do think that the way you have created this topic seems that you are not aware of many things about the forum. Please do good research before you create another topic to discuss about the forum as it does not look good when a reply like mine shows that your topic is not well researched and feels more like you are trying to get merits from a global board.
