You do know that the new forum comes out pretty soon, right? It will contain everything you listed, except maybe Newbie jail.

Information about the new forum can be found in their designated sub-forum and more basic information can be found in the "Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ"-thread, which also tells you when it's supposed to be released. It's a sticky in Meta, so if someone really had a question about this, they would have read the sticky first and then posted something if it's not answered by the sticky.

Q: So when is the new forum software coming?
A: Well, according to theymos, some time after February 2015.

Soon has been said for the past 6 months. I seriously won't be surprised if (when) the new forum doesn't come out in early 2015 (as was said to be the release date). When it comes out, I can only imagine all the new problems that will come with it (I seriously hope not but disappointment after disappointment after delay after downtime leads to a cynical way of thinking.)

I heard it was very soon for the last year. I would have thought someone would have given me a poke to test guide formatting if it was ready by now.

nope ever since the avatar hack iv always thought of theymos as using this as a cash cow... sorry but lack of development or updates is pretty poor. . lucky thanks to a new kid on the block theymos better watch out Smiley the new kids websites better and the way its been setup in the cloud will make it much much more resilient

I'm sorry if I come across as rude, but this forum needs to make the important changes/additions now. While you're reading this remember that this forum is pretty much the only one that represents bitcoin.

It has been over a year without avatars (ok, not too much of a setback). However, things we need like 2 factor authentication or at the very least email verification doesn't even exist. The talks of a new forum is starting to get old, we're so in the dark that 99% of users here have no clue what is going to happen and when. A new captcha service needs to be put in place to prevent those bots signing up thousands of accounts as has been seen in the past few days.

Newbie jail needs to come back. I know, theymos, it does give you more ad views but come on, it is not worth it for us (the number of annoying and worthless loan requests, the bots, the overall lower quality coming from brand new users).

Please make the changes that we require, or at least pass on (or share) this power to do so onto another, preferably capable, person.
