Beware - someone already registered my nickname on that forum. If someone there tries to make a deal it is not me.

I don't like the site, and i don't like the fact that were once more spreading into mini-groups. One bitcoin forum is more than enough to keep things in one place and quickly accessable.
Next thing you know, we will have 99 btc forums, and none will matter anymore. Doubt there will be much exploiting of name leeching, but that's something that site owner could of consider,
like maybe if he himself reserved all taken usernames from here.

No, it won't. There is no reason for people to switch from this forum to that other mini-forum. This forum already has all of the content, posters, signature campaigns, and everything anyone would want.

I have no idea why he chose phpBB with that gawdawful skin. If he wanted to compete with this forum he should have used SMF, which people like and are comfortable with. I registered over there and will check in once in awhile is all.

I don't think staff from here would be interested participating on a forum hosted by Ver but it's good that the usernames remain unred the hands of someone that isn't a scammer or at least aren't used.

Btw, I can confirm that I registered in this forum.

Here's my first post (before Roger deleted his reply calling me a shill).  Cheesy

I think it's safe to say nobody will be using that forum much
You are right. That forum will be flop exactly like litecointalk forum. There is no incentive to use it really seeing how bitcointalk is dominating.
I guess Roger Ver is aware of the fact that catching up with bitcointalk will be hard.
That's why he uses his magical powers money to give an incentive:
$1,000 Bitcoin prize for the most appreciated post on this forum!
Post by rogerver » Wed Sep 23, 2015 9:33 am

In order to attract more users, and quality posts to this forum, I'm glad to offer a $1,000 USD in bitcoin prize to the user who makes the most appreciated post on this forum.

The submission deadline will be whenever this forum reaches 10,000 human registered users, or, so long as the forum has at least 5,000 registered human users, Jan 1st, 2016, whichever comes sooner.

At that time, we will start a thread where people can nominate posts for the prize.
After two weeks for nomination submissions, the polling will begin, and be open for two weeks.
Forum members that registered before the deadline will be allowed to vote for which post was the most appreciated.

At the conclusion of the two weeks:
$1,000 USD in bitcoin will be paid to the author of the most appreciated post.
Somewhat desperate but not stupid Cool

Well done to the OP for attempting to stop naive people getting scammed but as far as the other forum goes, I'm not remotely interested in getting an account & posting on there. I'm perfectly happy getting all of my bitcoin related chat etc here.

I think that people are not stupid and aware that person under identical nickname here and there could be totally different person tho.

that orange theme gave me eyecancer. isn't there one decent professional forum around on a premium domain?
Yes. There is. Try http://forum.cloudmining.website.

He asked for a professional forum not a ponzi forum on a premium domain.  Undecided

No offense, but I wouldn't call a default phpBB theme forum on a subdomain of a gTLD a 'professional forum'. Even more so with the great lack of boards.

Probably a good idea...is it active?

Looks like it's catching up . That orange theme is really a sore to the eye though .

But you're right, there could be people who scam under trusted members' usernames there.

What - you mean that isn't happening on this forum? Trusted members & moderators are scamming here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcointalk-moderator-exposed-as-thief-be-warned-587759

This forum has become a haven for corruption & censorship.

Good job on that. However, I'm pretty sure that the forum will die out soon; most competitive bitcoin forums die out eventually. Wink

But you're right, there could be people who scam under trusted members' usernames there.

Roger Ver has launched a counter forum to BitcoinTalk, which is forum.bitcoin.com. I saw some same forum names of BitcoinTalk are present there. That is when it struck me that people might book the BitcoinTalk DT names on that forum to scam people. On checking, I found theymos and a few others are already booked. With a few email I had, I have booked the following names...

i. BadBear
ii. Tomatocage
iii. escrow.ms

^^These people may PM me to take their passwords. I think, it is good for other DT members to secure their names over there as well...
