Because you're making people jump through hoops and put their identity on the line just to sign up and post on a forum, a forum where most people value their privacy or wish to remain anon for whatever reasons. Most people tend to think the newb time restrictions and previous newbie jail are bad enough without adding more complications to just signing up in the first place.
Why would this forum want to tie accounts to social media? Very few people would use their own personal accounts and just create new ones so it's pointless. All you do is punish regular users and trouble makers will just do everything they can to bypass them.
How is it punishment?Edit: To answer your first question, the admins always claim the difficulty in enforcement is why they allow alts. By tying account to a social media account, you are increasing the barrier to registration.
Can people go around it? Yes. But it is harder.
If you use a public proxy within the same IP range to create social media accounts, it will be flagged. Additional verification is required.
If you create more than x number of social media accounts from the same IP range, it will be flagged.
If you login to more than x number of social media accounts from the same IP range, it will be flagged.
Logging off accounts will leave cookies in place as well, and people will always get their social media + account combinations mixed up - which gives admins more information to ban alts.

I really couldn't agree more with you marcotheminer , It would be nice to be able to connect using Social media such as Twitter , Google+ and an email verification won't hurt anyone too that should prevent some BOTS from spamming (only famous email providers should be used like outlook , gmail , hotmail , yahoo etc... )
Also captcha's as you said ... I mean captcha's are really so useful and the forum can even earn money from it since we have thousands of people connecting everyday here
For the new forum software we was waiting for a Beta release in December and nothing really happened so I'am pretty sure that the Final release won't be in February also last time I asked the developper he said that the release beta is very soon , probably in some weeks who knows . I just hope we won't be dissapointed
If nothing of what you said gets added to the Beta , you should move this thread to new software forum

It would be awesome if forum accounts must be tied to a Twitter, FB or Google+ account.
Yes, one could still create fake social media accounts to complement particular accounts, but it will be more difficult and require more coordination each time posting. Admins will have an easier time to flesh out alts. On top of that, social media sites will ban users with too many accounts.
The bad news is it willl suddenly make the whole forum less crowded. Safer, but more quiet will all the alts gone.
How often is that thread updated?
The forum capital one.
The forum capital one.
Not since November of last year.
The est. budget is indeed $1 million, I believe the $350k figure was the down payment. Anyone who knows software projects, the quoted completion date is a rough guideline, if you try to strictly adhere to a deadline that you set 8 months in the past, you either ought to be very lucky, or there are still things to fix on release. Its done when its done, its not like a hardware preorder where people are losing money if its not rolled out immediately on schedule, that said, to the best of my knowledge it is on schedule, and we are getting pretty close to the beta.
So this forum is currently holding rougly 5.5k bitcoins.
And they are spending rougly 4.4k bitcoins to make a new website?
That doesn't make sense to me.
I mean, what could they possibly do with that?
We will have to wait.
But since you have mentioned the "$1 000 000 forum" my hopes are extremely high.

Sometime after February 2015 could mean infinity. 
Last year people were saying that we'll switch to the new one in January. Now it's AFTER February. Somehow I feel in March we'll hear about Q2... well i believe theymos doing the best he could for the new forum , it could be june or july, but im pretty sure it will be in 2015
Theymos is not the developper of the new forum software , he hired other developpers and the budget is one million dollar . and No it won't be that late , Yes on 2015 but not that late . the Beta release will be very very soon probably this month , then the Final release shouldn't take long after the Beta since the Beta is only to find bugs and exploits etc ... so yeah .
~ Madness
Was the budget publicly stated?
Send a link if you can. I just want to read the thread.
Yes , they started with a budget of 350k $ and now it's about One million dollar . Theymos or another staff member told me last time (I can't find the thread to be honest) , also look here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-the-one-million-dollar-forum-looks-like-921107 , the Staff member didn't deny it .
And here is how each of theymos and other members are holding : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/forum-funds-155000 (this money is used for the developement of the new forum) .

The screenshots you gave me looks pretty damn nice but its a bit plain. Idk how I will cope with the change but I just want some new features and DEFINITELY mobile compatibility.
"damn nice"? No, the icon designs are terrible... Just look at the third one (+1)
Here's a quote regarding this repo
That's just one of the repos =). We've split the code apart over repos to better modularize the entire infrastructure.
Also, the slickage one is deprecated so don't follow that one.
Lastly, the dependencies have changed since first writing that README. Couch and redis are gone for now.

Needs to have a new forum definitely. Although the styling has worked itself into my brain and it would be weird browsing the forum without this light blue styling. Mobile would be good, also a reworking of the trust system as well.
Here are few images that I've found around :
Still ... Cyrus said those images are from December and the forum may have changed . you still can check the Github repo and make your own forum on your local server to test it and check it out .
I've tried to "install" the repo on a digitalOcean vps but I've failed, can you help me thanks.
I wish I could mate , I wish I couldn't .
I never tried to set it up to be honest and barely know some ASP.NET , and the new forum will be written in Node.JS and I'am not really that fimilliar with that programming languages , I guess the only place you can ask for help is the Technical support section Good luck and sorry if I couldn't help you out
